A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.

The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.

Next play mentality.

A group of Indians act like this abroad and the whole country has to suffer from racism

People can help you in many ways throughout life, but there are two things nobody can give you: curiosity and drive. They must be self-supplied.

If you are not interested and curious, all the information in the world can be at your fingertips, but it will be relatively useless. If you are not motivated and driven, whatever connections or opportunities are available to you will be rendered inert.

Now, you won't feel curious and driven about every area of life, and that's fine. But it really pays to find something that lights you up. This is one of the primary quests of life: to find the thing that ignites your curiosity and drive.

There are many recipes for success. There is no single way to win. But nearly all recipes include two ingredients: curiosity and drive.

Shooting at malls. Shooting at bars. Shooting at schools. Shooting at rallies. Shooting on tourists. Shooting on diners. Shooting on babies. Shooting even at the President despite all the security. Drugs, Guns, and Crimes everywhere.

And other countries are "Hellhole?" Right.

It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.

Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.

It doesn't take much to feel good again.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

In the modern world, it is easy to feel like a passenger: reacting to notifications, responding to demands, consuming whatever you happen to drive past on your screen.

But joy is found in being the driver. It's the act of looking at the raw material of your circumstances — your time, your energy, your relationships, your skills — and seeing what you can make from it.

It is the act of creating the life you want (in big and small ways) that makes you feel alive and imbues life with extra meaning. The fact that you can hold a vision in your mind and then, however imperfectly, bend reality a few degrees in that direction.

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Live the Pareto Principle lifestyle:

Relationships. Who are the few people that have the most positive impact on my life? Spend more time with them.

Priorities. What are the few actions that have the most positive impact on my day? Prioritize them.

Learning. What are the few information sources I learn the most from? Focus on them.

Stress. What are the few sources that cause most of the stress and friction in my life? Eliminate them.

For quality of life, it is better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong, rather than a pessimist and right

My year end musings: India at 77.
1. Go for growth. Let’s get enterprise and animal spirits firing.
2. ROTI is Return on time invested. Go relentlessly for productivity.
3. Shun protectionism. It may benefit in the short term. Long term it makes us uncompetitive.
4. We need a plan to eliminate the current account deficit in reasonable time.
5. Increase investment in defence. Power is power. Safety is prerequisite for prosperity.
6. Continue with gentle and steady fiscal consolidation from here.
7. Avoid over regulation and micro management across sectors. Zero accident policy is high risk to growth.
8. Respect free and fair markets. Intervene only if there is evidence of bubbles or manipulation.
9. India is 1.4 billion people. Let many flowers bloom.
10.We must get out of having amongst the most polluted cities in the world. Let us walk the talk.

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Anything long-term demands time and attention.
Yet we live in a world that kills both. No wonder wealth, health, relationships, and businesses feel harder to build than ever.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

At some point, you will have to learn to let go.

There is an endless list of obligations and expectations, desires and ambitions, and worries and fears that will always be ready to insert themselves between you and the feeling of peace.

If you never learn to let them go, there will never be enough.

A flute is hollow and music emerges from this state of emptiness.

When we feel an emptiness inside, we can either succumb to that feeling of helplessness or, like a flute, encourage creativity, artistic expression, and innovation to emerge from that hollowness…

Happy Janmashtami to you all.

Let the flute of Krishna remind us that we are all only instruments;

It’s up to each of us to create our own music…

#HappyJanmashtami
