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 ...🙂

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Innovation goes dark

Technology disruption is a topic we often talked about. It is a relevant and an observable phenomenon. The reason most of the organization can’t stand in front of the wave of Disruption is due to their inability to perceive the future. Whenever a person starts a company one of the focus would be at making money. But what decides the existence after a couple of decades is the importance we give it to the monetary value. If it becomes the primary goal, then the company won’t last long. People adopt monetary based values instead of ethical ones. They keeps on expanding the scale horizontally by hiring number of employees and setting up more branches. Where they is to make the service or product better. An organization sustains its customers because of the product they launch. It is the quality that attracts more people and sometimes repellant. Innovation dies when we fail to inspire the employees. They do what the founder say. Founder must be willing to adopt new ways and to lead them ahe...

Perfection paralysis

  Perfection can be said as an illusion. It is never fully achievable. People strive to become perfect at things that they love. They try so hard and the process continues. It is like infinity, there is no identified boundary. We tend to go forward hoping to achieve perfection. But the journey pays some meaningful dividends. The reason we build teams is to execute our plans perfectly. It is to an extent, could be done by defining a boundary or target. But without the boundary, it may sometimes turn into frustration.   Frustration comes in the way of rescheduling . Often people without a clearly defined goal stumble to arrive at a destination. Even at the time of shipping, they try to make the product perfect. They thrash multiple times and let every time the schedule go away. This is an ultimate sign of poor leadership. By doing this, there are no actual benefits. It often results in dry motivation. Employees loose enthusiasm and the momentum reverse. Sometimes products or s...

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.

Growth is super fast

  Looking at the rate of growth of the world, we could arguably say that the growth is accelerated from the last two decade. The graph is clearly exponential. It is already predicted that the it would be further exponential. From the eyes of this decade, it is most likely to find a horizontal graph when looking at couple of centuries before. There were agricultural, industrial and even the cognitive revolution took place. It is considered to be the slow growth period relative to what is happening now. But for a person living at the time of industrial revolution must have thought that it was the biggest ever revolution that happened so far. That is totally right. Not a single country dared to expel it. Most of them feared of being left behind. Revolution became inevitable in the modern world. We are witnessing and partaking in lots of it. Among the foremost one is AI revolution. Some of the Scandinavian countries are still at the verge of digital revolution. They need some time to m...

Addiction paralyse

Abstaining from addiction can be considered as a period of purification. Whatever we think we are addicted will make our mind and physique derail. It can cause serious problems. Sometimes to those around us. When we are addicted to anything, it is clearly visible in our nature. Everything we did in the past is no longer the way we do new things. It is associated with the new personality. Because addiction alter the personality. There are lot of cause for being addicted. One of them is the indiscipline. Whenever something that is so momentarily stimulus, we get to go often. Our brain craves to take a taste more often and we lose control of ourselves. This might have happened to anyone who is undisciplined. Unfortunately, most of us grown up in indiscipline. Indiscipline compounds and makes it harder to get disciplined after few years. That is why old peoples are more resistance towards the change. The brain is already molded. The least they can do is to try. The possibility of getting ...

Mindset matters

  The first mover advantage maybe a myth like MySpace. It is not necessary to have a first mover advantage, but it may do good if managed correctly. In the world of crypto we could see Bitcoin reigning over a decade as the leading coin. It got its first mover advantage and it is way ahead than other altcoins. But does it means it will lead forever ? Not really. I’m case of Amazon the first mover advantage was a great benefit. It is not that because of Amazon being the first to deliver goods through online, it is the ever growth mindset of Jeff Bezos. Like in case of any other thing, the important factor is not the advantage, but the mindset that drives it behind. Last day I wrote about having a progressive mindset. But when it comes to BTC, the driver behind it is clearly absent. Its first mover advantage is getting it to the top, but as soon as when one person with growth mindset comes with an equivalent product (which already happened), the first mover advantage may slay. ...

Breaking down to the elements

Although after spending lot of time in studying and learning a particular subject , we stumble upon coming up with ideas. No creative way of expressing the bit of information gathered so far. Reading some books, going through multiple articles and talking to a lot of people (master at the things you wish to know )might help to boost the knowledge. But no use to making it a part of your thinking. I mean you can't. But it could be done. It doesn't mean that you have to work eighty hours a week, it means you have to know how to learn before learning. It's like making a smart move. Lot of scientifically proven techniques are available in the internet. All of it points at the same direction , it is to break the elements into its basic elements. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur craving to come up with innovation and creative ideas you must dig into the roots.   The reasoning done through own scrutinizing study leads to connect the probability streams to a great idea.

It is the connectedness of people by ease with the help of technology that is responsible for this. Responsible might be a hard word ,a  perfect replaceable one will be fortunate.
