"Rocket Science vs. the not so Easy."

If you really look at it carefully, nothing objective in life is really ever that difficult to learn - say be it STEM streams, business metrics, understanding any industry, operations, finance, marketing or even complex work such as learning rocket science (yes, it's true).
Just a few days of deep, focussed attention can put you ahead of 75% of people; a couple of weeks can push you into the top 10-15%. The remaining edge? That's physical experience and hands-on learning of nuances and the ins & outs of things.

Instead, what truly shapes our life's journey, towards the right or wrong directions, holds us back or pushes us forward, are the subjective aspects.
Your thought process, how much wisdom, hate, anger, altruism, procrastination, innovation, resilience, tenacity, foresight etc. you inculcate, ultimately become the differentiating factors for you.

One must gain knowledge in these subjective skills - what are the best ways to learn and how to imbibe them.
These are what need to be taught to everyone - yes, life will teach these in some or other manner, but if you are not prepared for it correctly, you either learn the wrong lesson or will not learn at all.

More importantly such skills need to be formally taught in our schools and college, just like other subjects - instead of waiting for life's unpredictable lessons.
This is probably the reason why some cultures (eg: the Japanese), live the way they do, have the culture that they do, live longer, healthier, and are more disciplined and holistic than most.

Considering this, the following become important/non-trivial:
Q1. How prepared are we to actively manage these subjective aspects of our own lives?, and

Q2. What is/would be your personal strategy for developing them?

@AnupamPKher Hi.
1. They said you are what you eat; now you’re also what you harvest.

2. Forget farm to table, it’s farm to follicle now.

3. Why blend in with nature when you can stand out as the centerpiece?

Hi. Imho, the result boils down to a multitude of factors...
1. Proper blood flow to the whole body, including the areas above the heartline - whether by controlling gravity, exercise, yoga, tai-chi, proper rest, not taking on prolonged mental stress etc.
2. Any biological system where the flow is stagnant, will slowly lead to damage - that is why exercise is a great way to shake up the fluids in the various systems (blood, fluids, lymphatic system).

3. Even O2 which keeps us alive also kills us by creating free radicals and excess oxidation at times.

Based on the above, I would say that gravity is something similar...a necessary evil for the body - it both allows us to live and kills us simultaneously.

“Religion is for those who are afraid of hell, while spirituality is for those who have already been there.”
That line hit me like a thunderbolt.

Maybe the way is as simple as:
* How honestly we can face ourselves in the chaos,
* How equinamous we can remain in the face of both turmoil and tranquility around us, and
* How much experience we can pick-up from each instance as we continue to grow.

Success is neither the goal nor is it certain.
Failure, on the other hand, is certain.

And getting stronger, more capable and wiser through failure, is the real goal of life.

@IndiaWarZone Why this transfer to an Islamic state? Isn't that dangerous.

@AntoniaDodge Hi. That kind of does not seem correct.
The real joy of thinking surpasses the labor of thinking by more than a mile.
Your gray cells tingle with renewed energy when you start really thinking about things.

@dhruv_rathee Dhruv, there is only reason that you are supporting him...you know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

Come on man, please grow above personal hatred for people and learn to support what is good for the general populace and/or a nation.

I truly believe that life has no purpose - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲.

Live this journey of yours with an internal light, hope & positivity...and your light should be such that 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂, leaves a little more happy, a little less sad.

Also, it is because of the very reason that life has no purpose, does 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 than almost anything / any goal that one may ever achieve in life.
In order to live well, live consciously.

My friend & I were chatting today about where India is right now (especially so after Operation Sindoor) and 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲..& it got me thinking.

In India we are proud of our booming startup ecosystem, & there 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 India move towards the hi-tech domain, in due course.
𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿.

In the startup space, the service model dominates, alongwith the ease of making money via remote services, softwares etc.
Even startup founders, while they may want to fulfil a purpose and/or a dire need of the market, are in reality 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻.
And that is happens because VC funds/Investors have the real controls. It is their money after all - & 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰. Wherever the probability of money multiplying is faster and/or the returns are easy, that's the place they will be at - 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱.

This approach, while it is perfectly fine, will not help India to reach where it needs to go - 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 themselves, not only in terms of assembling but also 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 & 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲.

Such major capex related hi-tech setups will 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀, which neither the founders nor the investors have - in the current startup ecosystem.

The govt. needs to step in with funds + support.
Active govt. 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 from various companies/countries.
Additionally, 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 & 𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, is also needed.

You cannot let/wait for the desired market model to get born/evolve out of the shadows - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝘁. 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮...& 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁.

Economic theories or Demand/Supply incentives, tax rebates etc. - so that a few take the bait, will not help India the way it needs...& in the time India needs it.
Instead, the only way forward is 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 & 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.
Somethings are happening on the horizon, but it is a very long way yet.

Below is what I could make out from what all has happened in the last few goosebump giving days:

* Amazing 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝘂𝘀 - 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝘀 (political, military, geopolitics, defence, self mental image, foreign image about us etc. etc.)

* The 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀 inside India will only calm down when the head of the snake is no more. Need to finish it...into 5 parts.

* The fear psychosis & rivalry apart, if we can do so politically (keeping our national security firmly intact), 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗕𝗥𝗜. The snake is not needed any longer, by anyone.

* Never again innocent people need to die every 2 years, for India to get angry again.
𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀.

* India 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿, and I am so so proud of all of us as India - with happy tears in my eyes.

* This cannot be emphasised enough, i𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 - instead it was the amazing interservices + govt seamless coordination + extreme effectiveness, silent and deadly...what 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (that's what I would call it) and Decision Making!
It feels quite liberating indeed.

Yes ofc, while you may notice the patriotism spilling out from within my words written above, the assessment itself/content is absolutely objective - cold hard logic.

Cheers! ❤️‍🔥🫡❤️‍🔥

@NationalistCol Hi.
* Amazing gains have been made simultaneously by us - on multiple fronts (political, militarily, geopolitics, defence, self mental image, Foreign image about us etc. etc.)
* The mini Pakistans inside India will only calm down when the head of the snake is no more. Need to finish it, into 5 parts.
* Never again innocent people need to die every 2 yrs, for India to get angry again. Let's make that promise to ourselves.
* India followed Dharma with Operation Sindoor, and I am so so proud of all of us - with happy tears in my eyes
* Also, it is not only our weapons which won this - it was the amazing interservices + govt seamless coordination + extreme effectiveness...what a thumping lesson to the whole World in Valour and true Kinetic Action Management!

@IamCommentator0 @adgpi @ajitkdubey @Dig_raw21 @HPhobiaWatch @sidhant @AdityaRajKaul @__phoenix_fire_ @Devansh010 Sorry, but the article does not hold water. Why so? Because....

If this was the case then how was the Chinese system Not able to stop even 1 missile of the 24 missiles launched by India...each and everyone hit Pakistan.

Sometimes straightforward logic does beats hi-tech bs. :)

[Varun @varun_views]

AR sir...what the hell are we doing?

Pls talk sense into the govt...we cannot pause now - for God Sake!
* All the gains made till today will be lost.
* Snakes both outside & inside will start repairing themselves.
* More innocent people would need to die again in about 2 years from now for India to get this angry again.
* 5 parts...so close - yet so far now.
* Next time, the enemy would come with learnt lessons.
* How will we prove indirect attacks - before engaging our new doctrine of terror = war?

Please.. for god sake..please!
