You can't sell it to your family

It's been around for centuries that you can't bribe or monetize your family. Not a tiny family with 4 members, but a larger one, whatever the number might that be. It's is common. The root lies in the DNA. This routine successfully survived millennials. This starts from caveman times where we were first found to be living together and forming tribes. One of the fascinating thing about tribe which is so relevant even today is that the security it provides. Security through food,shelter finance, companionship and learning. A member of the tribe has the rights to have this. This must be done without expecting anything in return. This is not reciprocatory. Once you barter, then the tribe weakens. In a tribe you are not allowed to trade. With the progress of the evolution, people started gathering more information which resulted in the rise of new beliefs. Believes constructed new tribes of new people or with existing ones. It started to split in a random way. It is still. Inorder to fix this detouring crisis, members concluded to provide the needs to see other tribes as other. As competitors. If they bring something to their tribe, we too have to. If not there is a chance for the collapse which no one wants. You can speak to other tribes, you can hypnotize them or dumb them. If it's for your tribe, then do not seek permission. 'Just do it' it goes. But you are not allowed to perform any of these gross activities to your tribe, your family. If you are to, then you are a traitor. You don't belong here. You deserve the worst punishment. Centuries back people were executed for the trachery they did to the native tribe. This is strictly unethical now even if you want to.
   The relevance of keeping filthy trading at bay is largely influential for the tribe existance. Because the new form of wickedness or betrayal are selling and marketing. You cannot bargain with members. Don't play the reciprocatory game. You need not not to bring gifts for a party. If you repay the invitation with money worth thing. You are not in the tribe. You can't sell to your family and tribe. Because most of the time selling involves faking. Because they are your tribe members, they readily accepts what you have to offer. Go next time, they refuse. Because you are not his family anymore. You broke the law. Now you are seles person to their eyes.

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.
