Naval Ravikant reveals how to productize yourself to escape the rat race:
"No one is going to beat you at being you. Find what feels like play to you but looks like work to others"
"It looks like work to them, but to you it feels like play. You're going to outcompete them because you're doing it effortlessly"
"You're doing it for fun. They're doing it for work. To you it's art. It's beauty. It's joy. It's flow"
"The more you do things that are natural to you, the less competition you have. You escape competition through authenticity, by being your own self"
"If I had to summarize how to be successful in life in two words, I would just say productize yourself"
Naval and Andrew Huberman changed my life.
I watched hundreds of their videos in the last years.
Here are the 20 best lessons I learned that will change your life:
VERY USEFUL DARK INFORMATION
1. If one parent has dimples, you're more likely to inherit them too - it's a dominant genetic trait.
2. Eating dark chocolate improves brain function because of powerful compounds called flavonoids.
3. Blinking rapidly? It's your brain's silent way of stopping tears when you're about to cry.
4. Curly hair is also genetic - if one parent has it, chances are you will too.
5. People who talk to themselves aren't crazy they're often more intelligent and self-aware.
6. Music helps with focus - but lyrics can interrupt your thinking during complex tasks.
7. Drinking water right after waking up jumps your metabolism and starts flushing toxins.
8. You probably won't see this post again. So hit that follow and let's stay in touch.
HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD WITHOUT GOING BROKE:
1. Travel off-peak: flights and hotels drop 30–50% outside school holidays and peak seasons
2. One-way tickets: often cheaper than return, build your route as you go
3. Accommodation: hostels, guesthouses, and home-stays beat hotels on price and experience
4. Cook sometimes: eating out every meal drains budgets fast, local markets are cheaper and better
5. Travel slow: spending 2 weeks in one country costs less than 2 days in five
6. Credit cards with no forex fees: every foreign transaction fee is money thrown away
7. City cards: museum and transport passes save 30–40% in major cities worldwide
8. Free walking tours: exist in almost every major city, tip what it was worth to you
9. Overnight trains and buses: save a night of accommodation while covering distance
10. Travel insurance: non-negotiable, one medical emergency abroad without it ends the trip and your savings
11. Shoulder season: the weeks just before and after peak season offer full experience at low prices
12. Pack light: one carry-on only, checked baggage fees add up to hundreds over a long trip
13. Work remotely or teach English: extends travel indefinitely without depleting savings
14. Local SIM cards: airport roaming costs 5–10x more than a local data SIM bought in town
The common stages of a flower that we know of are bud & flower.
But in Tamil, there are different names for different stages right from the tiny bud till the stage where it dries off ready to fall back into the lap of the soil it grew from!
Native languages are far more sensitive to details as compared to English.
Have you noticed this in your native language also?

Malaysia is moving with intent on tokenization.
The country has launched its Capital Market Masterplan and 2025–2027 Blockchain Roadmap, while Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Securities Commission Malaysia, and @MyMaybank recently supported Malaysia’s first RM100M tokenized sukuk.
Blocksquare’s CMO @JuliaBuchholz_ was in Kuala Lumpur last week meeting with distribution partners rooted in Malaysia’s real estate and investment banking world and the conversations were practical, not speculative.
While everyone talks about tokenizing the world, Malaysia is meeting it's roadmap goals and actively creating new concepts for better inclusion and liquidity.

Politics is big money.
May 7: The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) found that during an election period in Malaysia, an established political party may spend as much as RM5 billion to support its candidates and campaigning cost.
In contrast, newer parties typically spent about RM1 million during an election period.
The elaborations can be found in IDEAS's policy paper titled “How Costly are Political Parties? Exploring Political Expenses and Implications for Democracy”.
According to the paper, an “established political party” refers to a party that has been established for more than 10 years, has more than one million members, and has been in government at the federal or state level.
These include UMNO, PAS, PKR and DAP.
The think tank said the financing of political parties and candidates in Malaysia remains “costly, opaque, and uneven”, with established parties benefitting from stronger fundraising networks than newer ones as well as underrepresented groups.
It also highlighted how rising financial demands increasingly shape candidate selection and internal party hierarchies, with those with access to financial resources find easier paths for political advancement.
"In terms of party candidate selection, the 'inner circles' decide what happens.
"So, when you want to be in the inner circle, you would usually have to be financially advantageous, said Sabrina Firdaus Aloysius, IDEAS senior research executive and co-author of the paper.
“One of the quotes in the paper itself says, if you're an “anak Dato'”, it might be easier for you," Sabrina said.

Incidentally, DYMM Baginda Sultan Selangor recently quoted US President Harry S. Truman, "No man can get rich in politics unless he's a crook."

We are proud to announce that V Systems was engaged by Khazanah Nasional Berhad for Malaysia’s first tokenised sukuk pilot programme!
Working alongside various other stakeholders including Industry Working Groups (IWG), banks, and investors, we helped design the frameworks, workflows, and control processes underpinning the initiative. The programme prioritises compliance and regulatory alignment, and is built on a locally deployed private blockchain.
Through our V Systems technology stack, we serve a wide range of enterprise and institutional clients in Malaysia and the wider region. With secure digital infrastructure, we aim to modernise financial markets by enabling tokenisation, digital asset issuance, and next-generation capital market solutions.
We are honored to contribute to the continued growth of Malaysia's financial ecosystem.

Malaysia just took a major step forward in RWA!
🇲🇾Khazanah + Securities Commission launched the country’s first tokenised sukuk (RM100m) using blockchain.
This isn’t hype, it’s infrastructure.
Tokenisation = better transparency, efficiency & potentially broader access to capital markets.
We’re watching the future of capital markets being built in real time.
