BREAKING : Trump has accepted his defeat once again and bowed down to 🇮🇷 Iran

🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 –– "Tonight we will finish the Iranians civilization and hinted at Nuke in war"

*Exactly after 2 hrs*

🇺🇸 Trump at 11:00 –– 😂 "If negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, the deadline could change.

This is probably the 177th time he made a U-turn. No? 😭😭

Stopping your worst habit will change your life way faster than starting your best habit. Fix the leak before filling the bucket.

At one point during your 20s, you realize that you have zero idea how the world works or how deep it goes. Nothing to worry about...

That feeling will never go away

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

@DearS_o_n Silence

@DearS_o_n You can’t go down from here, the only way is up

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

We live in a performance-driven culture where everything is judged by results.

If something doesn’t work, we label it as a failure.

But when you treat everything as an experiment, you always walk away with something learned.

The world doesn't belong to highly intelligent people

The world belongs to high-energy, risk-takers, those who operate outside social norms and are not afraid to expose themselves in uncomfortable positions

mid intelignece + execution + risk > 140iq living of negative loops

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

@raultotocayo Sure

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

Please don't quit your job and go "all in". ( 9 out of 10 startups fail )

Find an hour or two each day to grow a side project.

Replace 60% of your current income while trending in the right direction.

Then make your move.

Almost always a better decision.

The older I get, the more I realize: You don't need to be extraordinary to build something extraordinary.

You just need to be a little delusional and act like you've already won.

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

Every founder says they’re too busy.

Reality check:

80% of what you’re doing doesn’t matter.

[Sivesh Kumar @kumar82sivesh]

Competition is largely an illusion.

95% of people don't even try to do great things.

0.1% of the people are loud, so you overestimate how many people there are.

The rest get stuck worrying about competition and quitting after 2 weeks.

So here’s the uncomfortable question —

Should the media publish EBITDA along with funding announcements?
Or
Are we all just celebrating half the story?

“India’s startup ecosystem celebrates funding, not fundamentals.” - 🧵

And that’s a dangerous game we’re all playing.

Let’s break it down 👇

8/ Brutal truth:

We’re not short of capital in India.

We’re short of discipline, fundamentals, and patience. ( which I keep on repeating at the top of my voice ).
