I hate speed reading!

Yet, here’s how I read 127 books last year.

4 Tips to read, comprehend and retain more books without speed reading.

4 simple questions I ask before giving any opinion to anyone...

- Did they ask for it?

- Do I have expertise in the matter?

- Will it add value or just fuel a debate?

- Is it worth my time and energy?

This not just save my time and sanity,

But also fosters more meaningful conversations.

After all quality matters over quantity, right?

No one succeeds without facing rejection and criticism.

@MrMotilalOswal @shaneparrish Read what you need.

Instead of reading 10 books to inflate your ego and vanity metrics,

Read 1 book to inspire your life and growth metrics.

- Read
- Understand
- Implement
- Re-read
- Modify
- Iterate

Chasing validation is like voluntarily signing up for a self-imposed slavery of senseless actions.

Wanna know who lives with zero problems?

----> People in comas.

Problems are life's way of sharpening your resilience.

Life without problems?

That's a flatline, not living!

Embrace challenges; they're proof you're alive and kicking.

Earning respect from others is easy,

Earning respect from yourself is the most difficult...

"To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want."

[Komal Kamble @kk_komal]

Money is a paradox!

While it can provide security and comfort, it can also create desires and problems.

It's a double-edged sword that has the potential to both liberate and enslave, all depending on how we wield it.

People often seek more money to attain happiness, yet it can lead to a cycle of seeking more and more, sometimes at the expense of true contentment.

It's a paradoxical force in our lives, capable of both positive and negative outcomes.

The biggest mistake we do in life and business is,

Being consistent until we see the outcome.

As soon as we see even tiny bit of a result coming from our actions, we slow down.

Instead, what you should be doing here is the opposite...

When you see the result, double down on your efforts.

Same goes for failures,

When you don't see results , don't get demotivated.

Double, triple or quadruple your efforts.

The key to success is, being consistent despite of success and failures.

Don't build the mindset of unstoppable.

Be the unstoppable, despite of success and failures...keep going!

And that's how you'll keep growing!!

Formal education will make you a living

But self education will make you a fortune.

Books are like unpaid therapists.

Life hack!

Walk 10-15 mins everyday.

- no phone
- no music
- no company

Just walk and observe everything - surrounding, trees, birds, sky, strangers, your thoughts.

You'll learn something new everyday.

Either about others or yourself!

Desires are like sea water.

No matter how much sea water you drink, you'll remain thirsty.

No matter how many desires you fulfilled, there will always be one more thing you want.

If you're forcing something, it's probably not meant to be.

instead of racing around like a headless chicken, move with purpose & let the universe do its thing.

When you go with the flow, magical alignments happen.

Embrace the chill vibes & let the good stuff fall into place.
