Which story you believe ?

The existence of tribes are solely dependent on two things, story and leadership. Organizations, groups and corporations are pivoted around the story. The more stronger the story it is, the more longevity it gets. By stronger I meant answer to most questions. Even bed time stories has this strong sense of accuracy. They are definite and clear in answering the questions before it popes up. It's a robust trait for a story. Maybe it's happened through decades of evolution. It gets better like sapiens. But to make the things more proliferative within a century is difficult. When it survives the uncertainty tha rises,it wins. It can be of in highly demanded like equality or something that yet not discovered like the internet in the early 20th century. Both weren't there when they thought they could bring a change. Now it's tangible and it changed the world. It doesn't spread like the newly launched entertainment show unless by introducing a celeb. Unfortunately in this case the graph plotting would be like an inverted U. Totally upside down. It gets at the peak and plummets even sooner than expected. If the right people doesn't get involved, then it won't create sensation. These people knows the necessity to introduce or maybe to replace the story. It happens every time. Most of the things we believed a century ago is false. Scientific knowledge made that stories fragile. But we cannot assume the folks who believed this were dumb nuts. Creators must have been allayed the doubts. But it brought them together. Now the replaced one keeps us a tribe and this might too turns into a puff tomorrow. This is the way it works. It changes with time.

We can be story told in many ways. We like to be in a positive way. But it is possible to get betrayed by false stories. This is the age that leverages the free will. You can choose to hear and believe what ever stories you wanna believe. It's upto as like the consequence. History can teach you the fall of great stories. Keeping a curiosity to question your belief at this time turns out to be a proper way to get the integrity. If it fails to convince you, you no longer need to believe it. Keeping a good story to stand upon is a real bless amid this great mess. And the conclusion: you can craft your story. This is a free platform.

Beware not to be fraud

Being cheated is common. We get cheated most of the time. Sometimes the effect is large. Only then we realise that we are being cheated. Cheating comes from false beliefs. We believe in the things that we thought to be the truth, at least we accepted as truth. By giving us the false information they are rectifying the probability of manipulation. It's easier to get convinced in this time. There is no scarcity for information. I mean made up false information. They are very likely to get hooked and there is plenty of them in the market. Only thing left to the marketers is to pick one and throw it in the face. You are most likely to engulf. Because the rule book say so, you must do so. You cannot turn your your face when you are nicely getting manipulated, the rule books say. Even the craftsman man who designed these b.s rule must've been frustrated by consequence of these rules made to the folks. They must have thought someone someday would replace it instead of blindly pursuing...

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.

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. ...

Technology and pace

With the availability of technology, we can access to any thing in the world. Regardless of which those product belong to, it now became effortless to reach. There is a saying that whenever anything is available without effort, it becomes a product of procrastination. We did this many time if we locate ourselves in a different positions. Due to the availability of free online course, we jave certain opportunity to learn from the greater minds of the world, which is before a decade was even never would’ve imagined. Technology is rapidly growing and along with it the culture. So it is mandatory that everyone should keep a growth mindset instead of fixed ones. Because in the now world, laggards are not only left behind, but will be punished. The main reason for this is the world rewarding system is evolving itself. It no longer rewards those who works hard like cogs in the factory, instead those who keep up with the technologies. Technology evolved from being a subject to necessity. Be...

Raise your hand

The raise your hand strategy is well-known and practiced widely by people who do talking from any field. It is a simple and a call to action strategy. What it does is helps to engage people, more precisely, the audience with whoever giving the talk. We can call him the controller. He controls the crowd and their emotions. A well-practiced and experienced man can make people laugh or cry when he wants. That’s why they often let people laugh at the beginning by cracking some old jokes and making them emotionally attached to the end. To actively engage a group of people is difficult than an individual. Because attention diversifies and an individual in the audience gets a fraction of it. So, here the possibility is to make them concentrated, fully engaged. Everyone knows that when the number of people increases, the effect of it which it reaches fades. As a result, the core intention of spreading the notion becomes vain....

Hardest part in realization

It is one of the hardest thing to draw lessons from what we know. That is the reason why even after reading hundreds of book, we feel like we learned or to be specific realized nothing. But upon coupling with the reflection and experience, we can actually draw it from anywhere. The key still is to learn more.

Saying NO is an art

Saying that you don’t like is often difficult. Especially when we need to say to our friends. One of thing that lurks behind this faking is the fear of misinterpretation. We say what we meant to say, but they take what they take. Most oftentimes we mean no offense, but the scenario makes it worse. We say most politely that “ I’m grateful for your offer, but I don’t do it “ through a single NO. But sometimes they take it as regarding. They hear something like “ I don’t want your shit “. We can read it from their face all the frustration and indignation ,even when displaying fake smiles. If that’s the case, then we conclude that NO is getting us and our relationship ripped. What we don’t realize is that the after effect of it, such as we blaming them for the entire thing. Here things get even worse and may lead to the demise of the relationship. Once you become comfortable with saying “no”, then it becomes easy to sort out the unimportant from important. Your priorities become explicit. ...

Easiness is what they want

Both the creator and buyer wants the same. It's the easiness and simplicity. Although they don't often know their need unless you provide it with. The craftsman makes it better so the customer gets a better experience. Good for both. This is wht improvement is about. This is what amazement is about. This is a manifestation of what the brain likes to have. Brain in very resistant toward novelty. That's the main reason for our uncomfortableness when we are at the new company or new college. Because we don't know how things are operating here. The unusual new way doesn't always suits us. Remember the scenario when you were amid unknown people with unusual behaviour which you found crazy? Brain needs the time to adjust to what is newly exposed. Whatever it is, that thread need to untie from the knot and pair with the new. This is not a man thing. All the living organic creature feels the same way. Even trees are not excluded. Atleast for a minority of this is matter of ...

Fixing an intimidating deadline

Fixing a time which has a limited duration is what actually drives the person. Vaguely making any commitment would always ends up unfinished. The thing that is observed throughout this vague sense is tha false belief of there is plenty of time exists. That's in a way correct. But the moment tha thought rushes in, every things get grubby. The natural tendency of us towards laziness is far more comfortable than any. This is well appreciated by our second self who wants to live in the darkness of comfort zone. This evil self hates dead line and flees at the time of deadline making it all to our good self which wants to finish first thing first. This deed self often get offended by the evil part. Evil part is expert at making us blind to the truth. Although it is clear that you won't make it unless by starting now, you chose not to. That's is the resistance that keeps the exalted version at bay. This is not good for us. We want to shut those negatives up. Let's intimidat...

You need less resistance

You don't need the genius part. Everyone is born as a genius ,but not everyone becomes a genius. Only a handful of folks. You can easily filter these these guys. They are not hard to find. They are the one who might make some of you uncomfortable and jealous. These are the people who becomes a pivot subject for content creators. And yes they creates job in both ways. They are indispensable. They are artist. They go to the unknown and leap to the dark. We can flatter as much as we want. Or we can get jealous about the genius part. But we cannot avoid the fact that it worth time learning their life. There are lot of things we can learn from them. It could be scribed at the end that they are the compilation of factors that is practiced and sustained over a long period ( maybe lifelong) which is considered to be necessary for success. It's like the secret sauce. But they are not secret anymore, but they are resistive. Most likely to skip ( or avoid). They are repellent, because you...
