Do well what you are supposed to do today.

Plan well what you are supposed to do tomorrow.

Reflect well on what you did yesterday.

And you shall live happily ever after, in your relationship with time.

We all know what a job of a leader is. We read about it often.

However, a less-known job of a leader is to make sure they don’t set their team up for failure. Which means, figuring out where the team member is most likely to bloom, and plant them there.

It requires patience, it requires willingness to let go of only your selfish interests, and it also requires a lot of self respect to allow the team to uphold that for themselves.

The job of a leader, is to think success. For everyone.

One of the fondest memories of my childhood is a fun game my sis and I used to play every night before going to bed.

“Aaaa main mar gaya” (“I just died”)

In the game, one had to pretend to be dead.
The other had to crack jokes to awaken the dead.

If the dead smirked/smiled/laughed, they lost!

As I reflect upon those beautiful days today, I realize how as a kid one of the hardest things to do is to not laugh.

And then we grow up.
We get better at not laughing!
The hardest thing then becomes to laugh.

The easiest thing to learn from a child is to be a child again, sans all the weights we have gathered along the way.

Picking a career is hard.

However, when you treat it similar to dating, it becomes much easier.

And I love it. Why?

The way to get married to your passion is not to settle with the first one you like.

The way is to date as many passions as you can, spend some time with them, and then pick the one you think is right for you.

If you quit our job to pursue your passion, you will put the pressure on our passion to make money – which is the easiest way to kill it. Because now you won’t enjoy doing it, you will HAVE to do it.

The right technique doesn’t force you.
The right technique flows through you, with patience.

We have content for our team planned very well in advance, at least a week prior.

Thus, when I had to post the rakhi reel with my sister, I requested my team to not post a reel.

That is the power of process. That any instant content coming in has to stop the planned content. And we wouldn’t want it any different!

Processes are the true viral content.

Going on a trip with family friends.

And perhaps post a reel with my sister :)

Wbu?

There is a fine line of difference between sacrificing comfort and sacrificing happiness.

“Sacrifice today for tomorrow”
It means sacrificing comfort.
Not happiness. 

Quit that toxic job.
But chase one that challenges you. 

Quit that toxic relationship.
But chase one that teaches you love 

Quit that undesired college.
But chase people different from you.

Happiness is a daily choice, which we must make. Comfort is an addictive choice, which is what we must give up, if it binds us to not grow. Knowing the difference, is what makes us wiser.

To start with, what is a fallacy?
A fallacy is a false belief, still holding on to it.

Should we be aware of them?
I believe we should. It makes us fall prey to them less often.

It is one thing to house a snake in your home.
It is another to house a snake in your home and not be aware of it.

The former makes us more watchful, the latter susceptible of being bitten. So is the case with fallacies.

Because we human beings rest on shoulders of each other.

And we are where we are because we have been helped countless other times.

Thus, it is not only our responsibility to help (because it cannot be forced), it is rather our privilege to help.

Help isn’t what we should do. Help is something we must do.
Influencers don’t change lives. Influences of unknown people helping us because they can, truly changes lives.

For you in order to win, no one else has to lose.

This is what I told the second batch of How To YouTube – our flagship course graduates as they graduated.

And that is what I want you to ponder upon.

Where in life are you anxious because someone else is winning and you are not?
What if you be excited instead of anxious that someone else winning is an example for you to win as well?
