life is a game, man. don't take it as anything more than that.
have fun. fall in love. sidequest maxx. live the human experience.
and then if you are to make an impact, you will. don't hound yourself so much over it.
Can I be honest.
I love building a company. No truly. It gives me genuine joy. And I love that I get to be around high-agency people as a virtue of that.
I think building things alone is boring af. Being a solopreneur or freelancer does not entice me at all.
Getting to build an entire entity from scratch with all its tribulations, distress, sacrifices is so worth it when you do it with the right people.
my personal take on the youth immersing themselves too much in spiritual lectures from gurus and babas is that it softens you too much, makes you less ambitious, makes you detest material success.
when you’re young you should want to build things, contribute to your family and society, not think about hanging your boots to seek nirvana.
India's next billion-dollar companies will be in boring, overlooked industries:
- Construction materials ($90B)
- Energy management ($30B)
- Industrial procurement ($100B)
- Healthcare administration ($50B)
Boring but large, inefficient and lucrative real economy
The best founders come from the mud. They're one step away from total ruin but a part of them enjoys it. Going back to zero means nothing, they'll just build it all back up in new form. Mentally at zero, surrounded by ghost riches. You can't take them down, it means nothing.
Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits. Say no to ETH else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.
Relax.
Victory is assured.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when.
That’s why all true learning is “on the job.”
Life is lived in the arena.
seriously the end goal is just to be able to do things for the love of the game.
to explore interests that I just deeply care about and don’t care about getting paid for it.
One big problem with the Indian audience on social platforms is that they do not understand complicated scenarios (they tend to oversimplify them) while at the same time overintellectualizing simple things. Both with 100% confidence (borrowed from other comments of course).
So many people keep asking me about Continue. What is it? What are you up to? Here you go...
Continue started as a research effort two years ago, with the belief that if the human body is a system, it should also have its leverage points. The simple levers that, when adjusted, could fundamentally alter how we age and live.
Along with a team of initially skeptical researchers, we've been investigating a penny-drop insight about human aging. Something that's been hiding in plain sight for eternity. But more on that in a few weeks. We are at the tail-end of the research on this hypothesis, which if true, could fundamentally change our understanding of biology and aging.
But today isn't about that. It's bigger than that.
Today, we are expanding Continue Research to include a $25 million fund (entirely personally backed) to support researchers across the world who dare to ask simpler questions than anyone else. Who believe biology might be far simpler than we've made it.
For over a decade, I have believed that most of the world’s problems stem from our short human lifespans. Continue Research’s goal is to extend healthy human function long enough that humans stop making short-term decisions.

This will be a multi-decadal journey. Our goal here is to become a small catalyst in humanity's journey of conscious evolution. To lead us into the Post-Darwin era.

Building a relationship with God via some narcissistic, fear-mongering, power-drunk baba is the biggest cope amongst boomers in India.
You don’t need a baba to guide you how to connect with God.
Please open your eyes. They are all preying on your insecurities.
