The results of the recent state elections have been dramatic by any measure.
But for me, this image will remain the most unforgettable outcome of the elections.
More than 166,000 votes were cast between the two leading candidates in this constituency in Tamil Nadu.
And history was changed by just one vote.
This image should be shown in every school in the country & perhaps around the world.
So that every child understands that when they grow up, the greatest power they may possess is the Power of One.
The power of their one vote.

It is very shocking to see that GFG has been banned on @Google search and the website is completely blacklisted suddenly.
It has been more than a decade since GFG is helping students.
Google shares a massive >80% search engine market, and it's a monopoly when it comes to internet search.
Suddenly taking down a prestigious educational website from their search is a big hit for the business as well as for their students.
Not sure exactly what is the reason for this ban, but I'm sure that GFG is a credible website and it doesn't deserve this ban for so long.
I would urge you all to please support GeeksforGeeks and let's stand with them when they need us.
More power to you @sandeep_jain and the whole GFG team.
I'm sure you'll come back even stronger. 🚀

Hiring globally massively expands my talent pool:
- There are ~200k programmers in NYC
- There are ~26 million programmers in the world
By hiring locally I was fishing in a small aquarium. By hiring globally I'm fishing in the open Ocean.
It's a world of difference!
The lack of diversity in my first tech job was a major drawback.
Now, working remotely, I have the opportunity to work with people from all around the world. Different backgrounds and cultures.
It expands my mind!
Knowledge that is written is available 24/7, forever.
Knowledge that lives in someone’s brain is available when that person:
+ is awake
+ is not on vacation
+ still works for the company
+ still remembers it
Lack of documentation is the biggest vulnerability in most companies!
Despite 30 knot winds at the Allan Hills, Antarctica, where ice cores up to 2,700,000 years old have been found, @SpaceX Starlink continues to give the @NSF-supported COLDEX team unprecedented connectivity! @blueicehiggins @icy_pete

Just as one must suffer physical pain to build stronger bone and muscle, one must suffer emotional pain to develop greater emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, increased compassion and a generally happier life.
The day you set your priorities right, you will stop worrying about what people around you are doing.
Giving others the power to control your actions is such a weak thing to do.
Money will come and go throughout life, but when you learn a useful piece of knowledge, you have it forever. Therefore, the best investment of a young person’s resources is education and knowledge.
There is no bigger investment than investing in your skills.
I hardly invest in the stock market. For younger gen, your first priority should be you, once you have enough in the bank, then think of these things.
Don't focus on 10-20% growth, it won't take you anywhere.
Set 30 minutes aside every day for yourself.
- Read a book
- Listen to a podcast
- Go out in nature
- Read articles
- Or maybe just sleep.
But do spend time with yourself. It’ll change your life.
5 general tips for college students:
> Master a skill
> Build proof of work
> Network with people online/offline
> Focus on learning, not collecting degrees
> Don’t rush the process, enjoy the journey.
I interact with students at Invact almost every day.
And no one is doing just ONE single thing.
But I think they’re missing out on life.
Here are a few things I have to say about the hustle culture:
Work isn’t about being productive, earning money or collecting accomplishments.
It’s about discovering who you are, setting priorities right, and figuring out how you can make an impact. The rest will automatically follow.
