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 to factors much seriously. And the product offers them survive and could easily make it to the tipping point.

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.

Existence of god

Gods existence primarily stands at the inability of science to declare what's beyond the universe. Earlier people used to reclaim this belief using the explanation of sun and thunder. But lately scientific improvement led to the discovery of nature of sun and thunder and this thereby ending the myth. Gods existence will only prevail at the unknown phenomenon and unanswered questions.

Mental development

Why would anyone care about the neighbors while he got loads of shit to do? Whether we have enough time or more than enough time, we do focus on our things. Apparently, this is not good for society. The kids growing up always expresses their curiosity to peep inside the neighbors' home. They are complete stranger to him and when he notices that his neighbors are not in term with his family, it will instill in his mind and he accept the irony that one should not consider smiling towards the stranger even when he is sitting near him. Kids take this behavior and struggle to make relationships in the future.

Fear is an illusion

Fear is an illusion created by the mind. The human mind is more susceptible to the imagination than reality. That's true. Peoples are more stirred by fear, happiness, and love. We see people committing suicide due to the emotional humiliation that they couldn't handle anymore. Even physical torture can be withstandable. In case of fear, we let our minds run wild and interpret their own stories. Unfortunately, the mind itself believes that the story interpreted is gonna happen and starts to create anxiety. Similarly, anxiety multiplies over time and people with a weak mentality get sick. Even worse they end their life consciously *(in case of suicide ) or unconsciously ( in case of heart attack).  Here it is not the situation that made our life worse, it is our weak personality that we developed over time. It is our inability and the responsibility is entirely upon us. The situation gets worse with time if we don't take responsibility.

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.

Achieving the highest

Doing things even when we don't feel like doing them is super quality. It can be developed through discipline. The only thing that differentiates between those who achieve despite their situation and those who don't is very wide. Avoiding the responsibility and putting things to another day often ends up in misery and internal suffering. We regret it, we lose our sleep and everything feels fucked up. So do the work consistently. Be a stoic. Just focus on the work and think nothing. This is how you do things consistently even when you don't feel like it
