I buy more books than I finish or even start reading. But I thought I will start maintaining a public list of whatever I finish from hereon and aim to read more. This is a long-term WIP 👇🏻

One of my favorite ideas from Rick Rubin:

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Faith in eventually.

Making something new takes patience. But it also takes faith. Faith that everything will work out in the end.

During the development of most any product, there are always times when things aren’t quite right. Times when you feel like you may be going backwards a bit. Times where it’s almost there, but you can’t yet figure out why it isn’t. Times when you hate the thing today that you loved yesterday. Times when what you had in your head isn’t quite what you’re seeing in front of you. Yet. That’s when you need to have faith.

There are designs that are close, but not there yet. There are obvious conflicts that will need to be resolved. There are lingering things that confound you, confuse you, or upset you, but you know that eventually they’ll work themselves out. Eventually you’ll find the right way to do something you’ve been struggling with.

It’s hard to live with something that isn’t quite right yet – especially when it’s your job to get it right. It’s important to know when to say “it’s fine for now, but it won’t be fine for later.” Because moving forward is critical to getting somewhere. And, eventually, you’ll figure it all out. It’ll all work out in the end.

This is what I’ve always believed, and have always tried to practice. A dedicated faith in the eventual resolution of a problem, the eventual execution of a concept, and the eventual realization of the right design. Even when something’s poking out you don’t like, or something isn’t aligning quite right, or the words aren’t as elegant as you’d hoped, or something just isn’t easy enough yet, you need to have confidence it’ll all come together eventually.

Remember that what you’re making is in a perpetual state of almost right up until the end. And it's never right even after.

In the meantime, you just press on and keep making things, trying things, and getting closer and closer to the time when you can tie the loose ends into a perfect bow and present it to the world. What fun it is!

I recently found this note to myself:

No sense in thinking small. Don't water down your vision. A remarkable amount can be accomplished if you are willing to think longer term than most and work hard each day.

[Naval @naval]

What you really want is a challenge at the edge of your capability.

@vaibhavbetter Is AIPOPS similar to AI Native Services (AINS) as Emergence calls them?

Sequoia has also written about them.

@jasonfried Love the way you guys think through things while building your products. Everything is solving for something.

Reading 'Maverick!' by Ricardo Semler. Couldn't stop thinking about this passage.

He wrote it in 1993. About computers.

.Built something with @perplexity_ai - a simple salary planning tool for recruiter conversations. Put in a CTC, see how it breaks down - deductions, in-hand, easy. Made it for myself (India-focused), sharing it in case it helps. Not advice, just clarity. https://t.co/cSchRVfKlR

Show up. Effort never betrays you.

From the book ‘Tumhare Baare Mein’ by Manav Kaul.

[Tushar Bangera @tusharbangera]

"Happiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.”

- Ruskin Bond
‘Notes From A Small Room’

"Jab tak jeevan hai, tab tak sangharsh hai."

Heard this in a reel.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Taste has always mattered.

It's comical that all the sudden it matters.

ALWAYS.

@davidsenra @jasonfried @37signals This is awesome! Can’t wait to listen to this one.

If there is only one way to get out of this life, then you must always choose to go out trying.

“The distance between deciding and doing is the single most reliable predictor of whether your life will be extraordinary or ordinary.”

These three paragraphs will change your life:

Ego death. Everyday.

[Tushar Bangera @tusharbangera]

Spending time w/ family and friends has taught me that - life is short. Moments are big.

Current “focus music” playlist.

Works every time. Absolute focus.
