2. Minimal Eating
She only ate once a day - at lunch.
Occasionally, she'd have a small bowl of soup or an orange in the evening.
This wasn't about weight - it was about mental clarity.
She discovered that a lighter diet kept her mind sharper and more focused.
India is heading to a massive ruin
I’m not just saying it
Pay attention to Theda Skocpol
She’s studied revolutions all her life
And is a celebrated professor from Harvard
She says a state or a nation does not collapse as long as it has access to two resources:
1. Quality Financial Resources
2. Quality Human Resources
While we stay a low income country but still managing to keep our foreign debts low, we are fine there
But, for decades Indian state has thrived because of the quality of Human Resources it has been getting through various competitive exams
It is collapsing
Right in front of our eyes
And these are the tell tale signs of what’s to come
Forget Nehru, future generations will never forget the present regime if the slop and degradation of our selection system didn’t stop
You can’t outwork the whole world. There’s always going to be someone somewhere willing to work as hard as you. Someone just as hungry. Or hungrier.
Assuming you can work harder and longer than someone else is giving yourself too much credit for your effort and not enough for theirs. Putting in 1,001 hours to someone else’s 1,000 isn’t going to tip the scale in your favor.
What’s worse is when management holds up certain people as having a great “work ethic” because they’re always around, always available, always working. That’s a terrible example of a work ethic and a great example of someone who’s overworked.
A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person that others can count on and enjoy working with.
So how do people get ahead if it’s not about outworking everyone else?
People make it because they’re talented, they’re lucky, they’re in the right place at the right time, they know how to work with other people, they know how to sell an idea, they know what moves people, they can tell a story, they know which details matter and which don’t, they can see the big and small pictures in every situation, and they know how to do something with an opportunity. And for so many other reasons.
So get the outwork myth out of your head. Stop equating work ethic with excessive work hours. Neither is going to get you ahead or help you find calm.

How fast one adapts is more important than the starting point. Try to expose more important issues, than trying to find faults in everything. No one is born with perfection.

நேற்று எனக்கு தெரிந்த ஒரு அரசு அதிகாரியுடன் பேசிக்கொண்டிருந்தேன்.
அவர் ஒரு துறையின் Superintendent Engineer (SE).
“சார், புதிய கவர்மெண்ட் எப்படி போகுது?” என்று கேட்டேன்.
அவர் சொன்ன சம்பவம் கேட்டு அதிர்ச்சி ஆகிவிட்டேன்.
ஒரு துறை அமைச்சரை சந்திக்கும் போது,
“நான் SE சார்” என்று அறிமுகப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறார்.
ஆனால் அதை “SC” என்று தவறாக கேட்டு,
“நீங்க SC ஆக இருங்க MBC ஆகான இருங்க, ஆனால் இங்கே இதை பற்றியெல்லாம் பேசாதீங்க சார்” என்று அமைச்சர் கோபப்பட்டாராம்.
அதற்கு அவர் மீண்டும்,
“சார் நான் சொன்னது
SE — Superintendent Engineer” என்று விளக்கம் கொடுத்தாராம்.
ஒரு அதிகாரியின் பதவிப் பெயரையே சரியாக புரிந்து கொள்ளாமல்,
இவர்கள் எப்படி அமைச்சராக இருக்கிறார்கள்?
இதுதான் இன்றைய அரசின் நிர்வாக லட்சணம்.

S&P 500 consumer discretionary weights luxury and experiential names whose customers sit in the top 20% by income a cohort still saving at 8-10%. The 2.6% aggregate savings rate reflects the bottom 60% drawing down reserves to maintain spending. Both economies exist simultaneously. The index only prices one of them, which is why the S&P keeps hitting highs while the savings data looks alarming
@EscanorReloaded LLM is good for open source projects, not for companies trying to replace employees with a ticking bomb.
As a open source contributor, I benefited a lot from AI agents, but I wouldn't recommend for a business to completely replace human workforce.
@raavanamavan7@CMOTamilnadu This is due to lack of majority. So, pressure from allies. No way FIR would be registered until TVK gets majority and Arun icecream is moved out of DVAC.
As CoP Chennai one can have a larger control over land, real-estate mafia, etc.
With DVAC, no FIRs will be registered against any ex DMK ministers. That's all.
Mainly GOONDAS rate may come down.
@kundrathurBala@UIDAI I have seen worse cases when there is a mismatch in name between documents. Usually, a self-declaration is enough to get past such scenarios. Please check with another center.
@Siripriya2024@anbu The main opposition DMK opposed the appointment of astrologer. Now, DMK is happy with the appointment of their close aid in DVAC. No more FIR for their ex ministers.
@DhivCM@MKumaramangalam@TVKVijayHQ Kind of agree. As a CoP Chennai, a lot of control over the land / real-estate mafia. Now, it's just a different game as DVAC has different powers. No more direct control over general public.
