eradicating boredom has been a disaster for society. turns out the queue, the bathroom, the bus stop, the waiting room played a big role in keeping everyone sane and society functional. i guess putting a dopamine dispenser in everyone's pocket was going to have its downsides.
Sometimes your greatest gift emerges from what you believe is your greatest failure at the moment.
Be thankful for your setbacks because many times you're just being pulled back in the catapult that's about to propel you.
@trishankkarthik You can't see the uniqueness of the villages now because the road, so called highway, bypasses the villages. And every village looks the same now. Bigger places are already clones.
Again, it's only when you let go that you realize what you were holding.
It's only when you leave that you know where you've been.
Seldom can you see or know where you are when you're there.
It's the leaving, the going, that gives you perspective.
Your space and time vision
People seldom see their own contradictions.
Watch people's realization realizing their voice sound different from the voice they hear when they speak vs their recorded voice. It doesn't sound the same.
Most people's reason logic is like their voice. They never hear it recorded.
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick.”
Go find a book on how not to lose money.
Just like the medical community, everything is written to maximize some output.
When the reality is most of life is minimizing the damage done by us maximizing some output.
If you're optimizing, you're fragilizing.
In time.
My favorite nature fact is that somewhere in the world, there's a tree that sprouted the same day you were born and has been growing alongside you ever since.
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.
Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair
Life's outcomes are all about maintaining optionality. Get comfortable with any outcome.
Most people think that it's all about maximizing outcomes.
No, life is about managing optionality, not maximizing outcomes.
Life's joy is having the ability to pivot to do something else.
Life's answers aren't answers.
Academia convinces us that all questions/answers come down to a singularity. A finite point.
The right answer.
But answers in life are like selfies.
It's a snapshot at some point in time that's never really an answer.
There aren't any answers.
After five years of researching, reading, and writing, I am finally ready to publish my book on International Taxation in India. I hope it will be out this month.
Between 2026 and 2028, the economy will take its nose-dive and this will turn the heat up on civil unrest and discontent.
I am still very concerned that the 2028 election will be a disaster assuming it even takes place.
El cambio de imagen más exitoso de la historia consistió en lograr que la clase trabajadora creyera que «el Mercado» es una fuerza natural y mágica, cuando, realmente, es un conjunto de reglas manipulables, redactadas por multimillonarios para garantizar que ellos nunca pierden.
