[RAKA @Raka950]

I spent 3 months building a startup called EditMyTrip—a platform where travelers could upload raw videos and get cinematic edits.

Built the site, polished the branding, even added a dashboard.

But… no one used it.

Here’s what I learned after wasting 90 days 🧵

SIGNS YOU’RE QUIETLY STRONG:

1. You stay calm when others panic
2. You don’t explain yourself to everyone
3. You walk away instead of arguing
4. You handle things alone
5. You keep going silently

🇮🇳🇺🇸 India has imposed a 30% import duty on pulses and lentils originating from the United States.

The decision is widely viewed as a retaliatory measure following higher tariffs imposed earlier by the U.S. on certain Indian products.

@rajshamani You know the best revenge for people saying sh*t about you? Outperform them.

Hold the line on your goals. Nothing and no one gets to stand between you and the life you dream of.

Every time you give in to unhealthy or unproductive thoughts, you become a slave to your mind.

Day 9 of sharing the 48 Laws of Power — one law per day.

Law 9: Win through your actions, never through argument.

“Any momentary triumph you think you’ve gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory.”

Day 8 of sharing the 48 Laws of Power — one law per day.

Law 8: Make other people come to you — use bait if necessary.

The one who chases loses power.
The one who waits strategically — wins the game.

Here’s why 👇

Law 6: Court Attention at All Costs

Invisibility is death in the game of power. To matter, you must be seen. Standing out makes you memorable, while blending in makes you irrelevant.

History teaches: Leaders and kings who ignored their reputation quickly lost power, while those who crafted a careful image ruled long after theirweaknesses were forgotten.

Power Lesson:
Protect your reputation as if your life depends on it—because in the game of power, it does.

Day 5 of sharing the 48 Laws of Power — one law per day.

Law 5: So Much Depends on Reputation — Guard it with Your Life

Your reputation is the foundation of power. A strong name draws respect before you even act, while a damaged one destroys opportunities instantly.

🧵👇

[RAKA @Raka950]

Build a reputation around qualities you want to be known for.
•Defend it fiercely when attacked.
•Use others’ reputations to your advantage, but never let yours be used against you.

[RAKA @Raka950]

But a single careless move can shatter it. Repairing a broken reputation is far harder than building it in the first place.

[RAKA @Raka950]

Once your reputation is established, you can do less and achieve more. The image precedes the reality.

[RAKA @Raka950]

Reputation works as a shield.
It deflects attacks, attracts allies, and gives you leverage in negotiations. People often decide who you are before you even speak.
