The fastest way to improve your life is to sign up for a physical side quest. It could be a race, competition, event. Really anything. Maybe a marathon, Hyrox, long hike, or a weekend rafting trip. Something that scares you just a little bit. Just enough to spark action. Your day becomes more structured with the training for the side quest. You sleep deeper because you're tired from the training. You eat cleaner because your body wants the healthy fuel. You look better from the movement. You feel better from the momentum. Everything falls into alignment around the one small decision to sign up for that event. So, what's your side quest going to be?
Hard truth:
Quitting your job to go all in on entrepreneurship is in most cases dumb.
• 50% of startups don't make money for the first 3 to 5 years
• 34% of entrepreneurs make less than $50k a year
• Only 9% of businesses hit $1M in revenue
It's perfectly fine to work for someone else and be an entrepreneur on the weekend.
The fastest way to improve your entire life is to sign up for a physical side quest. A race. A competition. Whatever. Your day becomes more structured with the training. You sleep deeper because you're tired. You eat cleaner. You look better. Everything falls into alignment.
Japan was our first office outside India and the US. That was 2001.
Yesterday, I visited our office in Yokohama and I'm reminded that we were a small unknown company from Chennai and we chose the hardest market first.
Nobody in Japan buys because of a brand or a pitch. They watch how you behave when something breaks, and if you pass that test they stay with you for decades. That patience got into our engineering culture and never left.

The most dangerous phase of your career happens right after you achieve basic financial comfort. When you are no longer desperate, your hunger vanishes, and complacency takes over. Most people get trapped in a moderate lifestyle because it is safe enough to stop fighting.
Ola copied Uber.
Flipkart copied Amazon.
Paytm copied PayPal.
And all three made billions.
So here's exactly how you can steal a proven business idea from the US legally and build it in India.
ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES :
1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house
2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority
3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal development
4. Avoid office gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings
5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain
6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run
7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your salary
8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit
9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important
10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves
11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out
12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs
13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on TV , expect nothing different after retirement
14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project
15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself
16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too
17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early
18. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house
19. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a business
20. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily
Hope this will help you look at life positively
