By far the best book I have read in a long long time.
One can simply begin from any page,for each note makes so much sense that we get lost in them , sometimes chuckling & often amazed .

Here are MY learnings from
" A Book of Simple Living" by Ruskin Bond.

2/22
The book is enriched with life lessons . Most profound of all for me being ,

#Life is simple despite all its hardships and complexities .
For the purpose of life is to live ....

Now, how we choose to live our life makes it simple or complicated.

3/22

Do we chase #happiness by climbing infinite mountains in the quest for fame & wealth or do we savour the goodness in the little things that often come our way but go unnoticed and unappreciated by us ?
For ultimately , " It is the little things that matter the most ".

4/ 22
#Forgiveness is the key to a good night's sleep . We clutter our minds when we cannot forgive.

We may be wronged many a times but one must learn to forgive even without receiving any apology .

For then the day's deeds are truly done .

5/22
#Nature is the best teacher and companion .
She gives us everything , expecting nothing in return .
But she is a force to reckon with when meddled with ...
Be like nature - generous and kind always but don't let others take you for granted .

Please name one of your "Must Read" books explaining why ( in 1 tweet itself).

Any genre is welcome. 😌

Good morning everyone!! 🌞
Here is a small thread on a beautiful #allegory based upon the Chinese Bamboo .

An allegory that teaches us #patience,#persistence,#hope,#habits, #Growth & Life in general.

#TheChineseBamboo
The seeds require to be nurtured with love and care for no less than 5 years without showing any results. The first 4 years solely consist of nurturing & tending with NO SIGNS OF GROWTH. But the farmer goes about his job out of habit .+

3/6
In the 5 th yr all of a sudden it begins its exponential growth & shoots to over 90ft in just 6 weeks.
Miraculous , ain't it? 🙂
The farmer tends without knowing the outcome every single day with the same amount of love & concern .He never gives up. He keeps his habit.

4/6
Lessons learnt
1) Fundamentals matter. Our survival & success depend on the depth of our roots .
2) One must persevere no matter what. Persistence pays off.
3)Habit or Hope?
I would say both .We need to have faith in ourselves & keep putting in our reps. #Iterations matter +

5/6
Let us plant our #dream & do all that is required for it to become a reality whilst we hope and hone our habits.

" Zen and the Art of Happiness "

It's a simple book but it makes you think .

Few of my takeaways ( with random 2 min doodles).
👇
Firstly,
What is Zen ?

#Zen is a Japanese word that is derived from the Sanskrit word Dhyana meaning "Meditation" .

2/21
Zen is a journey of exploration & a way of living that , in and of itself doesn't belong to any one religion or tradition as such.

Zen doesn't teach. It merely
points, enabling us to wake up & become aware.

Ever noticed how zen stories rarely have predefined morals? 🤓

3/21

The zen of doing anything is doing it with a concentration of mind , a calmness & simplicity of mind, that brings the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience , happiness.

It could be something as mundane as sweeping or peeling potatoes !

#mindfulness

4/21

We are the authors of every NEXT moment.

Therefore the best way for us to get that new experience is to CHANGE our response to what happens.

By natural cause & effect , that NEW RESPONSE will create NEW RESULTS , thereby a NEW REALITY.

Try it to believe it !
#Wisdom

5/21

Unknown to most of us , we all have a life philosophy . A perspective of looking at things , at events & circumstances that befall us.

Our personal #Philosophy determines how we respond to events that occur in our life .
This ultimately is responsible for our happiness.

1/21
Good books are a smooth read.
The great ones aren't.

Why so? 🤔

They force you to pause,to reflect & think hard.
They make you question yourself.

Sharing few of my takeaways from one such exceptional book of 2021.

Thank you @naval & @EricJorgenson for this ! :))

A 🧵

2/21
🔹Productize Yourself

Meaning,
Leverage specific knowledge -> Scale it -> Get wealthy.

Takes decades as one needs time to figure out what they can UNIQUELY provide.

But FIND & BUILD SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE for it can't be taught & can only be learnt.

"The best jobs are neither decreed or degreed.They are creative expressions of continuous learners in free markets."

Be a perpetual learner.
Know HOW to learn.

Foundations are the key.
They help learn HOW & HOW MUCH.
Club this with Authenticity to create something unique.

4/21
🔹Play long term games with long term people

🔹99% effort is wasted.
However they are not a waste.
These are merely learning experiences that delve deep into our psyche & become a piece of what we currently are.

Same goes for the books we read, the activities we pursue!

5/21
"If you don't own a piece of business, you don't have a path towards Financial Freedom."

Ownership matters. Put that money to work sensibly. Let it compound too.

"Forget rich vs poor, white collar vs blue.
It is now Leveraged vs Un-leveraged."
