Elon Musk on his advice for young people:

"Try to be useful. Do things that are useful to your fellow human beings, to the world. It's very hard to be useful. Very hard."

Elon's core philosophy comes down to one question.

As he puts it:

"Are you contributing more than you consume? Can you try to have a positive net contribution to society? I think that's the thing to aim for. Not to try to be a leader for the sake of being a leader or whatever."

He continues:

"A lot of times the people you want as leaders are the people who don't want to be leaders. If you live a useful life, that is a good life, a life worth having lived."

On how to become useful:

"Read a lot of books. Just read. Try to ingest as much information as you can and try to develop a good general knowledge. Try to learn a little about a lot of things because you might not know what you're really interested in if you aren't doing peripheral exploration of the knowledge landscape."

His approach? Read broadly:

"As a kid, I read through the encyclopedia. That's pretty helpful. Things I didn't even know existed. Maybe read through the condensed version of the Encyclopedia Britannica. You can always skip subjects—read a few paragraphs and if you're not interested, just jump to the next one."

Then find the overlap:

"Try to find something where there's an overlap of your talents and what you're interested in. You want a good combination of things that you're inherently good at, but you also like doing."

On mindset:

"Make sure you don't have a zero-sum mindset. If you have a zero-sum mindset, then the only way to get ahead is by taking things from others. But the pie is not fixed. The economic pie has grown dramatically over time. Work on adding to the economic pie. Create more than you consume."

Contribution beats competition.

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Fear comes from inexperience, not incapability. You're afraid because you haven't done it yet, not because you can't do it. Inexperience is the problem to be solved—and it's only solved through having the courage to act.

Received an email yesterday
I’m a 20-year-old girl, and I’d really appreciate some suggestions from you.
I used to be a good student until class 9, but everything changed after I confessed my feelings to my crush and got rejected.
He insulted me brutally, and since then, I’ve been struggling with deep insecurity and a lack of motivation.

I feel stuck and lost. I can’t focus on my studies, and nothing really interests me anymore.
I used to be very extroverted, but after that experience, I became extremely introverted. Even my school friends are surprised at how much I’ve changed.

It’s been like this for the past four years. I even tried therapy, but it didn’t help much. I genuinely don’t know what to do. Can you help me overcome procrastination and this constant fear of being judged?

I asked her if she was ready to hear the truth, even though it might not be pretty?

Go ahead, I'm ready to hear it. I appreciate your honesty.

Here was my exact reply

I’m going to be brutally honest with you - because that’s what you need right now.

You’ve used that one rejection as a lifelong excuse to not show up for yourself.

For four years, you’ve told yourself a story where you’re the victim - and while that might feel safe, it’s also what’s keeping you stuck.
Because It’s much easier to say “I was insulted, I lost my confidence, I became insecure” than to do the hard work of rebuilding.
However, here’s the truth: the longer you cling to that pain, the more power you give to someone who never deserved it in the first place.

You haven’t been defeated by that boy.
You’ve been defeated by your own unwillingness to act.

You already know what you need to do - but you’re waiting for motivation to magically show up. You feel someone like me knows something that you don't.
But motivation won't just show up and fix things. 
It won’t.

Discipline will. Effort will.
The moment you stop identifying with your past and start showing up for your future - everything changes.

I get a feeling you’re not ready to act on yourself.
But if you are - then start now.
Not tomorrow. Not next week.
Now.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Whoever said “you can’t rewrite your past” was lying to you. You can rewrite your past by taking action in the present. A failure can be remembered as a turning point, but only if you make it one with your actions today. You control your past and your future. Remember that.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Show up every single day:

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Your entire life will change when you realize that anything above zero compounds. That showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. That small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Your entire life will change when you realize that stress and anxiety feed on idleness. When you take action, you starve them of the oxygen they need to survive. The answer is found in the action.

Why Are Your 20s So Challenging?

Because the four pillars of life feel like they’re all in flux:

1. Relationships
Old school friendships fade.
New college bonds aren’t fully formed.
Work friendships feel untrustworthy.
Romantic relationships are confusing because we don’t yet understand ourselves.
Family ties become strained because they don’t fully understand us.

2. Career
Constantly unsure of our path.
Everyone else seems to be doing better.
We don’t love our jobs.
We don’t get corporate politics.
We’re told to “settle down” quickly.
Yet we still want rapid growth.

3. Health
Irregular schedules.
Poor sleep.
Junk food.
Peer pressure to drink or smoke, which can lead to addiction.
Little exercise or proper diet.

4. Money
Just started earning.
Needs outstrip desires.
Desires outstrip savings.
Easy credit is tempting.
Friends spark FOMO.
Everyone’s shouting YOLO.

Here is the solace:
You don’t have to “win” at all four.
Focus on winning at one—or two at most.
Make a deliberate choice.

If you don’t choose, you risk hitting your 30s feeling stuck and your 40s feeling like time slipped away—leading to a life of regret.

In your 20s, conquering everything is the surest way to lose it all.
Choose your battles, or your battles will choose you.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

Build a library at home.
Read with your kids.
Limit internet access.

Uninstall all social media from phones. Better? don't use a smartphone.

Your stress will come down, knowledge will improve, you will live life in a raw format.

And, you will be ahead of 99% people.

Being old school is the best way to progress in a world which is constantly distracted.

Here's a harsh truth you need to accept:

7 super difficult questions that can change your life:

1. The two-week test
The way you have lived your life in the last 2 weeks; if you live the rest of your life the same way, will your life become better or worse?
Our daily habits are the building blocks of our future selves.

2. Fear vs. desire
Is there something you are afraid of doing because of the world but you really want to do it?
Our deepest desires often hide behind our biggest fears.

3. Unspoken words
If you die tomorrow, is there a person whom you wanted to tell something to but could never tell them? What do you want to tell them?
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Speak your truth today.

4. Life's true priority
n the remaining time you have left on Earth, what is the most important thing for you? And do you work towards it every day?
Our actions, not our intentions, define our priorities.

5. The parent paradox
How many times did you meet your parents in the last month? And in the time they have left, how many more times can you meet them? Will that be enough for you?
Time with loved ones is a finite resource. Spend it wisely.

6. The paralysis of potential loss
Is there anything that you don’t want to do because you are afraid of losing?
Sometimes, the fear of losing prevents us from ever winning.

7. Identity stripped bare
Without your name, your designation, and your status, tell me who you are. And did you like this answer?
Our truest self exists beyond our social constructs.

These questions forced me and will force you to confront uncomfortable truths about our life, relationships, and identity.
They aren't just thought experiments; they were catalysts for change.

What's the toughest question you've ever asked yourself?

[Ankur Warikoo @warikoo]

"Why didn't you do this" is not nearly as good as asking "How come this was missed"

Solve for what led to the mistake.

[Ankur Warikoo @warikoo]

10 reminders to help you outperform in life:

1. You will constantly be judged.
Your college. Your job. Your car. Your phone. Your clothes. Your choices.
Remember that people judge because they want to feel good about themselves.
It has nothing to do with you.
It is their insecurity.

2. As you age, you will either drift away from your family or will not be able to break from their shackles or will realise they are extremely dear to you.
What will you regret not doing when you are 50?
Do that today.

3. If your school friends keep pulling you down and make you feel bad about "growing too fast", fire them!
Don't feel guilty for not wanting them in your life.

4. Who and why you decide to spend your life with is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life.
Don't take it lightly.

5. Who you spend time with will define the stories you hear.
The stories you hear will define the stories in your head.
The stories in your head will define you.
Choose who you spend time with wisely!

6. You are not the only one confused. You are not the only one struggling.
You are not dumb, inadequate, or incapable.
Everyone is struggling.
Everyone is figuring it out.
Don't be harsh on yourself!

7. While you are building your skills, the most important thing to build is your reputation.
Your goal is to make people say: "I am not sure if she knows how to do it. But I am certain if told to do it, she will definitely figure it out. I trust her."

8. That thing you imagine to be the worst thing ever?
When it happens, it will feel like that — the worst thing ever.
You will get up every day and it will be the first thing you will think of.
Until one day, it won't be!
The worst thing you imagine isn't the worst thing.

9. Optimize for your learning; not your salary.
Optimize for progress; not for stability.
Optimize for facing fears; not for comfort.

10. Success is made up of small steps.
Not drastic jumps.

Start today.
I am excited for you :))
