“The media want to makes every problem your problem.”
- @naval
This is in my head every time I read/watch the news these days. Once you understand it most media is just pure poison for you.
Personal rules. At any time of your life:
1) Learn a foreign language
2) Have a hobby that makes you feel like a beginner
3) Have clear short-term and long-term goals
4) Invest in assets that will yield more free time
5) Make time for people you love
6) Practice being calm
"The most important trick to be happy is to realize that happiness is a choice that you make and a skill set that you develop. You choose to be happy, and then you work at it. It's just like building muscles." - @naval
27 yrs ago I came to Chennai on a Pongal day not knowing what I was going to do with my life.
First morning, at Saravana Bhavan, a bowl of Sakkara Pongal came with the food I had ordered. Was told it was free.
The city has been kind and sweet, unasked, to me since then.
