@birk @tobi How? What are the policies and infrastructure in place?

[Kunal @KunalBSarkar]

Your preferences and desires, likes and dislikes, wants and contempts - what did all of this give you except misery?

The luxury of a man with infinite wealth is nothing compared to the freedom of a man without any preference.

Positive asymmetry: high upside/low downside
Linear: similar upside/downside
Negative asymmetry: low upside/high downside

In positive asymmetry games, you win by taking lots of shots.
In linear games, you win by working hard.
In negative asymmetry games, you win by not playing.

“Interestingly, when we say ‘I’m self conscious’ what we actually mean is ‘I am conscious of other people being conscious of me.’”

You are enslaved by what you desire.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

YOU must not be afraid of your uniqueness and you must care less and less what people think of you.

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish, or to be like they expect you to be.
It's their mistake, not your failing!

You are your actions, not what you say you’ll do.

It's better to start something and risk looking like an idiot than sit there and accomplish nothing.

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."

- Lao Tzu

Each and every label you impose on yourself is a self-imposed prison. Shackles of your own creating.

Can you identify some of these labels which are holding you back.
