Why people radically ignore philosophy

From infancy to the geriatric days of our life the philosopies we subscribed and dissented made the whole bunch of years a life. It's common to hear from old people "I lived a fantastic life" with a smile and pride or "I'm a failure"with great regression or even they express displeasure with a frown and stare when asked how they lived their life. It takes a life time to put this in a nutshell. The reason why these saying goes so is a simple factor. The inability to spot the unwise advices. It doesn't need a cumbersome effort to account for good ones,but to embrace it there requires some effort. Seems bizzare. Why is that ?. Because it is itching and dreary boring.It takes tremendous amount of energy to put your instinct diligently forward, especially when you are told to do. We don't like when we're forced. 
Wait a minute...
 But what if you are not told to do anything? I mean anything.Let's have brief look,

 After the very minute of your birth, the sister holding you won't tell you to stop crying and smile (Of course she says you are beautiful like your parents). You don't learn a single word.Even "dad" and "mom" since you hate when you are told to do. No one tells you to eat lunch or warns you to be careful. Your parents puts you in a decent schools where you meet real life monsters. Eventually you will kicked out of college (maybe even at school) for arrogance and becoming the flag bearer of narcissism.You palpably sucks in friendship and none have this yen for playing Tag with you. As you grow to manhood you get frustrated at everything happening around you. To make yourself snug from all this nonsense, you'll be forced to fix the injustice decreeing there. After the restless nights and day, you land at two options:
 1. Flee from there and settle with like minded mobs who loves your ethics (which is highly hypothetical)
                              Or 
 2. Challenge the vesting interest in bolstering the status quo. 

 Chances are you merge with the second. You don't transit by creating like-minded herds who shares your why. Here you fail miserably since you sucks at making bonds. Again you get frustrated and literally screwed up.By now you burning with the unfairness and selfishness. Every folks on the street seems like to be punished.Every act they perform feels like the act of injustice. Then you painfully realize the truth that no one is coming to fettle this and you must carry out yourself. You start googling and googling, you never ends up at the perfect solution. But somewhere amid this research you hear your dogma saying the exact problem is not the system,but the people. Only their nonexistence leads to purification. They are the flue affecting the globe and there starts the termination. Ultimately you get caught by the cops and that's it. End of the untitled story.

This is a very simple interpretation of what might could happen. But the real case scenario is much worse !

It's transparently visible at this moment that there is no best way to fabricate a rotten life avoiding wise advices. Since people connect the wrong emotions with the word philosophy,they often misinterpret the meaning. They made the conclusion that philosophy can't be understood. Which to a certain extend believed to be true. Frankly speaking some of the lessons we read from Stoicism and Buddhism needs to be digested. It demands times and most importantly experience to learn.Because people think they are too busy they probably become a modern day hippie inclined to MY LIFE MY RULE until decades later realising that the rules they followed was completely wrong. Then you starts to become panic and try changing the principles. It can be elucidated as 'Drinking the water with an empty cup'. You wasted the foremost phases of your life believing in the shits you made yourself. The only (and foremost) thing everyone have is the time. Yet they waste it anyway. 

   None of us wanted this to happen. It's also true that none of us have the time to learn all the invaluable wisdom by our own experience. But they are at your fingertips.
Like Jim Rohn said "Success leaves clue", it's already in many forms. They are waiting ahead for your touch. Don't get frightened by things you don't know. Do not let yourself say "I should've listened" at the end. Most importantly stay away from the outside noise which puts you in a hike of believing I'm only right. Because when you hear yourself uttering that, chances aren't good. You might get pissed off soon. 
      Beware ...🙂

The path of experience

Genuine conviction is invariably born from firsthand experience. This is because, innately, our belief systems are wired to accept anything that can be perceived through our sensory experiences, a trait that evolved during our ancestral hunting epochs. Once we acquire such direct experiences, no further evidence is required to cement our belief. These experiences thus become the compass by which we navigate our existence. Hence, the optimum method of learning is through experimentation and introspection, for knowledge acquired in this manner becomes deeply embedded within our psyche, imparting indispensable lessons for personal development and growth. Predominantly, our learning derives from the direct  experiences of others who possess a profound understanding and apply this wisdom to enhance their lives. Regrettably, we often fail to leverage this wealth of knowledge to our own advantage.

Focus on one thing

Concentrating on one field gives us a tremendous edge than giving a shallow focus on various different things. The difference here is that we get a lot of information from one sector which enables us to master the field.

Expressive tendency

People express when they feel like they are safe among the peers. It is a trust factor. This trust factor can be developed through mutual understanding. When a group of stranger collabs and start to express the embarrassing truth, individuals within the peers develops the tendency to vomit the dirty truths. This is like a chain reaction, the more people express, the trust gets stronger and stronger.  

Going beyond the numbers

The ability to go and look beyond numbers makes a huge difference in an organization. Mostly, the leaders do take notice of the revenue decrease and this push layoffs and payment cuts. They should be more focused on what is bothering the employees and what makes them suck at whatever they do. Threatening with salary cut and layoff will work in the short run. But the fuel ceases soon and the individual at the top need to figure out another intimidating stuffs that would make employees ass on fire. It doesn't work.

Better making use of time

Utilizing the time means making it more productive. We can make it productive by doing quality things in between. But the question is whether the quality thing is enough. Certainly not. The difference here is the degree of concentration. Being more focused irrefutably bring better result.

Subtle things make difference

Using the image to manipulate is the most vulgar thing anyone can perform when it comes to selling. When an organization stops innovating, the possible way to sell its crap is through manipulation. No one likes what’s not best. And yet it’s what dominant in the market. There are making a way more money than those actually makes a difference, providing the value. When a popular face shows up with any shit, it is easy to raise the popularity of that product with himself. Most of the products sells this way. Those who buy these products don’t actually wants it. Those who buys them are less certain about their priorities. They get confused amid the status quo and reality. When a movie star promotes it, then it would make to the list and those who haven’t bought it must blame themselves. They go and purchase just to avoid the blame. This bragging mentality could be manipulated. These subtle emotions bring tons of money when used wisely. And those who markets and sells are the masters of it....

Winning is everywhere

There are companies that benefits from the competition of companies from another sectors. The thing that benefits them is that both these competitors are the customers of this one. Primary examples are the open software companies. They sell software to different companies to make thier product and these manufacturing companies compete themselves for domination. Whoever wins, software company benefits.

Fortune in internet

Winning a lottery when nothing actually left to try on was a hope that might hit as a jackpot. In this internet scenario, this is much different. You can hit jackpot by hundreds of thousands of way. It isn’t only the money the jackpot brings us. It includes much more. Fame, pride , success and a lifelong career might get open. This is no joke anymore. People who made fun of others who tried their luck in internet are now turning themselves to internet. Internet isn’t like the invention of wheel or fire or even machines, it is much more. The latter changed the world. But internet opened a new world. A digital sophisticated world. It’s is pretty much sophisticated than the real world. No one exactly knows what’s really happening in the world of internet. These are the stuffs which are yet to be visible. The things that we once practiced in the real world now can be done through internet. Infact there are things that is only possible in the internet. We are inventing new methods and com...

Rescheduling and thrashing

Rescheduling and thrashing are both different words. But they are connected and dependent. One won’t (mustn’t) survive without the other. This was best described by Seth in his masterpiece Linchpin . It make sense when both are studied which levels the confusion of delayed shipping. Shipping isn’t confined to products and services, but it extends to anything. To think shipping as doing as per the schedule makes it more easy to grasp. Even the subtle things that hide along the appears to be meaningful.    Thrashing is nothing but excuses due to fear that delays shipping. And rescheduling is a by-product of thrashing. Thrashing occurs at everything and every time. Mostly due to the weak resistance, we are nullified about this. At times when resistance peaks, we consciously prefer to stay the same. We can’t relate the circumstances happened at the start and happening at the end. The usual cliché “ it happens each time” is the best explanation the resistance wants us to believ...
