पैसे द्या, ॲडमिशन घ्या!

फडणवीसांच्या महायुती सरकारमध्ये शिक्षण व्यवस्थेचं पूर्णपणे वाटोळं झालं आहे. शिक्षण व्यवस्था म्हणजे पैसे छापण्याचं मशीन, अशीच भावना फडणवीसांच्या मंत्र्यांची झाली आहे.

महाराष्ट्राच्या शिक्षण व्यवस्थेची वाट लावणाऱ्या भाजप-महायुती सरकारला घरी पाठवण्याची वेळ आता आली आहे.

if you really care about “success” or being rich, you need to have an extreme sense of urgency about your goals.

it’s never too late to start and you only need a couple of good years to offset many years of mediocrity, BUT the later you succeed in life, the lesser time you’ll have to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

that sportscar won’t feel the same at 60 as it feels at 30. gotta move fast.

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen.

Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation).

Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.

Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI.

As a result,
1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb.
Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more.

2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future).
Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire"

3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed.
Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies.

4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either.
No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money."

I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here.

Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success".

Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

Last year, I cracked Atlassian’s loop, moved into a Principal Engineer role, and had offers from Amazon, Salesforce, Deliveroo, Walmart and Confluent on the table. On LinkedIn it looks like a clean success story.

In reality, those three months nearly broke me.

This designer spent 5 years building 5,126 failed prototypes.

He remortgaged his house and sank $1M into debt.

Every major manufacturer rejected his design.

This is how James Dyson launched alone and turned a bagless vacuum into a $15B empire:

In the late 1970s, James Dyson was just a frustrated guy with a clogged vacuum.

His Hoover kept losing suction because of its dust bag. Instead of buying a new one, he asked a question nobody in the industry was asking:

"Why do vacuums need bags at all?"

Then while visiting a sawmill, he noticed industrial cyclones spinning dust out of the air. He rushed home, built a cardboard cyclone prototype, strapped it to his Hoover, and it worked.

That moment consumed his life ↓

Dyson retreated to a tiny shed behind his house and started building prototypes. Night after night. Week after week. Year after year.

His wife Deirdre's salary as an art teacher became the family's only income. They mortgaged the house. Debt climbed past $1 million.

But inside that shed, every broken prototype was a data point. Every failure taught him something new.

After 5,126 failed prototypes, number 5,127 finally worked ↓

• Dust spun neatly into a container
• Full suction that never faded
• No bag needed

After five years, the machine did exactly what he'd imagined.

But here's where it gets painful...

Dyson took his design to Hoover, Electrolux, Black & Decker.

Every single one said no.

Not because the technology didn't work, but because it worked too well. A vacuum that never needed bags would kill their recurring revenue from replacement dust bags.

One Hoover executive even admitted he wanted to destroy Dyson's invention entirely.

When no Western company would back him, Dyson turned to Japan ↓

A manufacturer agreed to produce his machine, and the G-Force vacuum launched at $2,000 in Japanese department stores.

Those sales gave him proof and cash flow. But Dyson wanted more than a licensing deal. He wanted his own brand.

In the mid-1990s, he launched Dyson Ltd. with a simple promise:

"Say goodbye to the bag."

Retailers were skeptical. The machine looked different and cost more than anything else on the shelf.

But consumers didn't care about skeptics ↓

A vacuum that never loses suction and never needs bags? Obviously better.

Within 18 months, Dyson became the fastest-selling vacuum in the UK, outpacing every brand that had rejected him.

From there, Dyson reinvested aggressively, pushing beyond vacuums into new categories (Hair dryers, air purifiers, hand dryers, and bladeless fans.)

Each one solving a problem everyone else had accepted.

Today, Dyson sells over 20 million machines a year across 65+ countries, and James Dyson's net worth sits around $15 billion.

All because a frustrated man in a shed refused to stop at prototype 5,126.

@RajeshwariRW So what the solution

[Abhishek Singh @0xlelouch_]

I don’t write much motivational posts but this one compelled me to write one.

No one is coming to save you. Especially if you’re around your 30s.
You have responsibilities. Aging parents. Your own mental + physical health.
And a quiet clock that doesn’t care about your mood.

That penguin clip hits because it’s brutally honest.

No soundtrack. No narration. No “here’s the plan.”
Just a creature walking through ice like it has a meeting with destiny.

On land it looks awkward. Slow. Out of place.
And still it moves.

Because in the cold, stopping isn’t “rest.”
Stopping is decay.

That’s basically adulthood.

Most days you won’t feel “inspired.”
You’ll feel unsure. Underprepared. A little behind.
You won’t have a map. You won’t know if you’re doing it right.

And the only thing that saves you is movement.

Not motivational movement. Not fake hustle.
Quiet, boring, consistent movement.

Apply for the role even if you think you’re not ready.

Ship the PR even if it’s not perfect.

Learn the concept even if it makes you feel dumb at first.

Fix your sleep. Lift weights. Drink water.

Say no to the stuff that kills your focus.

Build a skill stack that makes you undeniable.

Confidence doesn’t come first. Proof comes first.
Self-belief is rented. Discipline is owned.

Some days my only win is: I tweeted something useful.
Or I learned one small thing.
Or I didn’t break the chain.

That’s the whole game.

Your life won’t suddenly “click” one day.
It clicks because you kept walking long enough for it to make sense.

Forward is the only direction.
