Derogatory remarks never help(s) either yourself or others.
It spoils the environment and if there is any semblance of empathy between the parties, these remarks kill it.
Instead, look at it emphatically, look at it from a down-to-earth view, look at it from the eye of a child.
Try it for a couple of conflicts and see that conflicts vanish away, in-fact the other person is happier to resolve any differences.
Computers (aka AI/ML) don’t actually think, we just think they think.
It’s a big mathematical process and historical data based on which computers can give us predictions.
Interestingly, a lot of these computer-generated outputs are facts but who cares about facts, human beings are creatures of emotions, creatures of greed, and creatures of highs & lows.
So don’t worry if you think someday AI will replace us, maybe in some limited areas, but as long as the world is ruled by chaos, emotions, and greed, we are safe!
The scariest thing in life is if you are not able to fulfill your destiny.
Two things come in the way:
First, knowing what’s your destiny.
Second, are you still not so far away to change your path to fulfill your destiny?
For some, you can’t find your destiny and hence never achieve it.
For some, you find your destiny and achieve it, even if it’s in the latter part of your life.
Most of us, find our destiny but can’t change the path or don’t want to risk changing the path.
If life is a journey on a continuous path.
Putting a break to it, to gain perspective is a must-have. Not only it helps to value life but it also helps in valuing the journey.
So take breaks and enjoy!
Learning “to lose” or “to fail” is important because it helps us experiment(s) in life and helps us try different things even if we fail.
But learning to fail is difficult to learn, our ego always interferes and it makes a dent in our self-confidence.
So let’s keep a day in a week where we are ready to lose or fail in whatever we are trying.
Call it “A losing day” or “A failure day”.
Today is my “Failure day” so I won’t mind failing, in-fact I will welcome failing.
If you’re a high achiever who feels bogged down by anxiety—worrying about worst-case scenarios, stewing over mistakes, comparing yourself with others—you can take action to overcome this common emotion.
Waiting too long to make decisions can slow us down both personally and professionally. Also leads to frustration and lead to missed opportunities. But it can be hard to know whether you should just go ahead and choose or gather more data first.
In these situations, consider two factors:
First, how important is the decision? When it’s of little consequence, pick something and move on. When it’s truly important, reflecting more or gathering additional information is probably a good idea.
Second, how often will that particular decision be made? If it will happen often – maybe it’s about personal choices, the right career option(s), or people related – it may be worth developing a systematic approach. Doing so will take time now, but you’ll save time when the decision comes up again. And if you’re still struggling, give yourself a deadline, which can be a helpful way to constrain your process. (You may not have time to gather more data, for example.)
Once you’ve made the decision, analyze the process you used so that you can improve it next time.
A lot of time we get stuck with problems in our minds.
What should we do now?
How to do it?
Who will help me with this?
Can I do it or not?
Will this work out or not?
We have all these questions and doubts that keep interfering.
So why not flip it and ask ourselves:
What is working for us now and look at the solution space:
I am doing good in my job in these areas.
I am able to scale users and traffic.
I am able to build teams and enable technology.
I am able to do these things better than others.
And by doing things that we do bests and keep trying to do better, we can scale to the next level both personally and professionally.
With this exercise, we can get ourselves unstuck with life’s problems, look for more positive things working for us, and be successful.
Nothing in life is sure, things will change suddenly for good or bad. We don’t even know if the change that looks good now, may be bad for the future or vice versa.
So what we will give to have surety in life, for something that does not change, to lean on something permanent.
That surety comes from your loved ones, your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, etc. Whoever loves you and you love them back.
So care for this surety, as it’s rare and will give you the best support you can have in life.
Failure teaches us these core things:
1. Importance of what you have, sometimes when we fail it shows us what we have is sufficient, and maybe we should be content with it.
2. Where are you against your peers, someone who has succeeded while you fail means you need to work harder, improve yourself and try again.
