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 believe. But there is a paradox. It doesn’t happens every time (although is does), we let it happen. Our team let it happen. And the result, delayed shipping with the same product. Delayed action with the same decision. But thrashing is good at times. It moves us to fix the defects and subtle errors if only done at the beginning. It will not lead to a reschedule. But no one likes to thrash at the initial stages. We hate when contrary suggestions arise in the early stage. It is utterly improper to hear except the fact that it keeps rescheduling at bay. And for the worst, it never happens at the beginning. But at the moment when you think you are ready to ship, ready to speak in public, ready to go bike ride, thrashing shows up. It may hit us in any form. May be through a little tiny thought. The goal of thrashing is to reschedule or to trash totally.

Investing with index

Expecting return a way more than the index average can be of greed influence. Index do gives a handsome return that sometimes even surpasses majority of the stock performance. But it is also true that index may stands still for some years. Yet in the very long it is way better than FDs.

Dark imperialism

Imperialism sometimes can be be referred as looting. The most effective way to show the power is to acquire more land as possible. This is was the motive behind imperialism that once it was flourishing. Although they knew somehow this will not be their land forever, they started looting and looted at utmost.

Having a desired principle

Having a principle to act upon creates an outcome that is swayed towards the desired one. When we look at the behavioural psychology of a person, there must be some principle acts on. Having an intended principle than an unintentional created the desired outcome.

Necessity of breaks

Occasionally, achieving concentration can prove to be a formidable challenge. This difficulty may stem from an array of factors, and notably, the subject matter at hand significantly influences this endeavor. Engaging with material where one possesses foundational knowledge often facilitates a smoother focus. In such instances, allowing the mind some respite to unwind and decompress can be exceedingly beneficial. The necessary duration of this interlude varies significantly among individuals, yet the utility of such breaks is undeniable. Empirical evidence suggests that intervals of relaxation interspersed with periods of effortful concentration can greatly enhance learning efficiency, surpassing the outcomes of attempting to maintain uninterrupted focus amidst a milieu of distraction.

Knowledge gap

Sometime the barrier lies in lack of knowledge. People often tend to develop their life using their existing knowledge which they tried and failed many times. Even while taking the financial decision people focus on planning what's they planned before and slay there. They might be good at the existing tried and failed planning. But learning about the different methods and concepts, they can actually make a better decision. 

Cash flow of companies

One in three main thing that can be used to evaluate a company whether to invest or to learn is to analyse it's cash flow statement. It is equally important as reviewing the balance sheet and p&l statement. Everyone keenly focus on the numbers in these colomns before investing. Everyone should if he is to invest. But cash flow, they mostly give less importance. One reason is that they just need to know whether it is positive or negative. If it is positive, good. Negative, then need to analyze further more deeply. We can get a sense of the operational and financial activities from cash flow statements. And by combining our findings from here to over-all findings will lead to a good sense of this company.

Focus on the fundamentals

Panic selling the cause of loss. If we invest in a very good company with strong fundamentals and a leading player in the growing industry, there is no point in worrying about the correctionms that the market gives. Market always corrects if the valuations are in a state of bubble. You should be focusing on companies that are fundamentally good.
