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 ...🙂

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.

No innovation or dead innovation

 When you wish you can have that specification with more, like more battery life, more pixels ,more speed and more glister, you’re a forbearer of fake innovation. The advancement is good for product experience. It doesn’t give you the opportunity to make the change. This could also be identified as dead innovation or no innovation products. They are just the exaggerated versions of what’s already in the market. These who do no innovation works are copy cats. They wait for something new to happen or to someone to introduce and with no hesitation to copy them. They were well equipped to clone the Idea or product. We saw this dead innovation thing with lot of Chinese products. The result, they are not trust worthy. These type of making is simply stating that experience is no concern. Only profit does and it’s what drives them to deliver.   It is relevant to quote what Peter Thiel said “ We need flying cars, not cars with 140 characters. Folks like Peter and Elon are greatly conc...

Thoughts on laziness

The reason for our laziness and procrastination is not that we weren't motivated, it is that we think we have more time than we think. We live in a way such that we won't die. Each and every moment we are moving towards death. We barely notice ourselves getting older and then suddenly we find ourselves passed decades without doing anything special or gaining the experience. Experience is the only way to make life favorable. An experience like this comes from facing fear and reflecting upon that. Facing the fear requires you to be attentive and not be idle

It's not chef vs cook, it's chef creates cook

There is hardwork, diligence,focus and behind success. It might be a successful person or a product. People crafts successful stories with these elements. I mean how can there be a winning story without them. The hardness in choosing the career also intensely extends to pursue them. There are plenty of career to choose them. The more options we have, the more confused we are. You cannot implement the same philosophy of choose what tastes better specifically here. There are millions and you would waste your entire life chasing one after another. The sooner we find it, the better. It's important to get informed about many before the selection, but at the risk of increasing confusion. Well after all those procedures, you'll end up in a career that will or will not suites you. Hope for the best. If it suits you'll be a successful person. You've chose the right path. Be ready to spread the words of wisdom. You chose the opposite of what the mediocre wants you to be. But is t...

The toothbrush test

  To release a product that is worthy of shipping or an idea that is worthy of spreading, it must be of elegant use. No product reigns the market if it is for one time use. We buy products for using more than once. All the things that went revolutionary can be of multiple use or can be used multiple times. There is one test that most of the entrepreneurs use when the launch an idea or company based on that, it is famously known as the Toothbrush test .   This a funny yet powerful test that determines whether the product can be used more than once (keeping in mind that people do brush twice or even thrice a day). If it does it is worthy of launching and investing. All the now products are based on this simple test. People behind that do make sure that it went through toothbrushing process . We can see lot of new products on the market are toothbrushing product. Because we like to have a product which is of multiple use. That saves money and time. People do consider these t...

Mental barrier is there to cross

 Emotional barriers are there to cross. Only those people who realize this make a good outcome. This when viewed from another perspective, we can say this is a play by the universe to make us better and stronger. We need to be mentally developed to live a better life. We see people becoming fragile when they confront with a severe life situation, they panic and get anxious. Soon they fall into depression. Until we cross this mental barrier, we won’t grow. But most people instead of facing and solving this problem, choose to escape from it by some quick fix. Of course, they would get some short-term pleasure, but the problem remains there forever until they overcome the mental and emotional barrier it puts in front. Next time a different problem arises with this level of the mental straddle. We have to break it, else it will show up in different forms.  

Using adversity for our advantage

The reason many people suffer lately in life due to the fear of being harmful things and events are mainly due to fucked up childhood. Children bought with very little adverse effect often struggle in life due to their inability in standing up after a defeat. These children's are more likely to get bullied. Once they found themselves unresponsive against the bullies, they intend to go a more easy path where they no longer have to face the adversity. When they grow up, they keep a low profile and struggle to socialize, make friends and fearful amid mobs. These are the people who will easily get sick and depressed, more fragile towards heart attack and sucks in relationship. The point here is that adversities have this amazing power to build a tough character and robust mindset. Instead of grieving after a problem, let us confront and grow.

Courage to ship

Courage plays an incredible role in execution. For the things that demand creativity and focus often comes with a risk of failure. By creating our own product and making it suitable for the masses requires tonns of effort. But it isn't enough. The continuous push we gave to ourselves must be backed by the courage. Any time we must push the 'shipping' button not knowing what's gonna happen after that.
