@immad What's your most controversial opinion?

Alcohol has been an integral part of our culture for centuries. But does that make it good?

Here’s a detailed thread on alcohol's effects on mental & physical health, sleep, % in various drinks, myths, strategies to control damage & situation when alcohol is actually beneficial

For many years, Bill Gates used to fly Economy, not because he couldn’t afford First Class, but because he didn’t consider it good value. It’s five or six times more expensive, but only marginally better (and you all get to your destination at the same time).

In the same vein, I could afford a really nice car at this point, but I’ve never been a car guy, and I don’t need a Lamborghini or a Mazerati (which I can’t even spell). A Volvo station wagon does the job just fine, and I wouldn’t value the difference. I don’t need to drop $1000 on a bottle of wine at dinner either, since I know I’ll get the same enjoyment from a $35 bottle.

So what is wealth good for, in the end? Besides providing security, it also gives flexibility. After all of the experiences I’ve had, the most important thing I’ve learned about money is that, once you have enough (by the previous definition), you can choose to have less of it in exchange for choosing how to spend your time. And spending your time doing something meaningful to you…that’s worth way more than a Mazerati.

I wish more people could stand up to their reasons to not drink or smoke and less people would force :)

Running a startup is all about getting used to the 100s of rejections you're going to get - from investors, potential hires, customers. You need to get used to it, get good at it, and not take it personally.

Over the past few months, we have spent countless hours learning about PLG and have created a comprehensive guide covering every possible detail.

If you are building in SaaS, do give it a read and share your feedback. https://t.co/9SjyDW38ox

Google Maps should add a new feature that slaps you as soon as you add a destination for ORR, Bangalore.

Unicorns and VCs these days.

My Yoga Guru advised me to keep my eyes closed during the entire Yoga session. I extended this practice of closing my eyes- during travels, waiting for something, breaks between meetings - moments I'd typically resort to my phone. It feels like hitting the 'refresh' button. The power of stillness is profound.

Outlier success is a result of choosing to work when you’re bored.

[Gaurav Sharma @GauravSharma]

To those who keep "crying" about the lack of opportunities, let me share a simple fact: Every company founder is constantly seeking "hard-working, intelligent, reliable, and competent individuals." I mean every company. Just reach out to them and confidently state "what problems you can solve and how you can add value." That's it. Take the initiative and create your own opportunities.

@marclou Congrats Marc!
