12 kinds of people

I often do not believe the predictions of Zodiac signs.

How could there be only twelve kinds of people in the world? And just one thing would come true for them?

Astrology is a science. What is predicted is on the basis of someone else’s alignment of stars. Might be true.

However, what is also true is: The actions we take. The thoughts we choose. The responses we pick.

Which all, in turn, create your destiny.

So go, go check your horoscope out. And then, forget about it just like you forget a good joke. And then go write your own destiny (while being grateful for all the luck you’ve been bestowed with).

To get the right answers

To get the right answers, the right thing is not to fixate yourself on getting an answer.

The right thing would be to start with asking the right questions.

Seeking answers is a beautiful thing, if it follows the process of asking questions. Instead of settling down on answers.

Funda for your corporate life

To keep growing.

Growth is something that you must re-do to reinvent yourself.

It is not something that happens. It is not something that will be incremental. Certainly not something that you can bring about, just by taking tiny steps.

Growth is painful. And if you don’t embrace that pain, pain would embrace you in many more different ways.

How to write a book a year

I wrote my first book in December 2021.
Second one coming up in December 2022.
So is the plan for every year.

How to make that possible?

Write every day. In the spring. And the summer. And the monsoon. And the winter.
And you might end up having 2-3 books at the end of the year.

What seems like a profound advice is nothing more than executing the simple steps every single day, even when you don’t feel like doing them.

Fear vs planning

“What if I get ill?”
“What would happen if I die?”
“I don’t know what the future holds.”

All of this is fear. Which, by its very nature, exists to let go of living in the moment – the most important thing that we must do.

So, how do we eliminate fear?

We plan for everything that scares us.

Get that term life insurance. Get that health insurance. Build habits and rituals.

Over time, you see so much good happening because the right things are in place, that the fear eventually gets replaced with fun.

Fear has a reason. To make us think. Planning has a reason. To let us have fun beyond fear.

Not necessary

Not necessary to stick to the career if you don’t like it.

You have time. You have multiple options. You have a choice.

You just have to exercise them. And live life with the mindset that you can do anything.

The world is yours, if your mindset is yours.

Good things take time

Good things take time.

However, you have to make time for them.

Even when you don’t have time caught in the cobwebs of the world.

For so much time that it eventually becomes good, and makes more time for you.

To have more time and more good things, you must start with making more time and doing better things.

What is an investment?

Other than money, here are some investments that take care of your most valuable assets:

  • Premium subscriptions of apps: It gives you the best. Why not?
  • Travel: It makes you reflect. Much needed ingredient of success.
  • Making the team make their decisions: It makes me trust them. And they get better at decision making.

If it multiplies your money, it is a good investment. If it multiplies all your assets, it is an investment you won’t regret.

What process does

Everyone in our team adheres to a pre-decided process.

We stay true to it, come what may.
If we don’t, every week, in a team email, the delays and errors are highlighted. And also, the percentage of an individual’s contribution of errors to team’s errors.

It shows how we have contributed/derailed the process.
And acts as a fuel to continue doing it.

Process and transparency create accountability, for people who are driven and taken care of.
