Attention and present

Attention became a core factor now. It is considered as essential for both personal and professional gain. Most of the time without our knowledge our attention is drifting away from our grasp. The reason is our inability to focus, to concentrate upon the things brings outputs. We are what we focus upon. When attention flows to one thing, energy flows with it. Energy is the core where anything needs to manifests. That is all of us crave for attention and sometimes attention seeks validation (not good). We can either get improved or get impoverished by attention. All depends on where it is channeling through.

Attention in control provides great benefits. Once it is in our hand, we know where to channel it through. But most instance shows that it isn’t at our grasp. We can affirm that it is the only thing that is to be fixed. The root cause of every problem. Addiction often happens when we go uncontrol in concentration. Concentrating on the things that gives instant gratification is mostly disempowering. Unless we fix the concentration, we cannot fix what’s happening to us. We see everywhere people trying to fix outside instead of their internal battle. The primary thing to look for when it comes to personality is concentration.

There is a very good reason for not watching news every day. Those media corporations are competing themselves to be top at the viewership. The only possible way as per the attention engineers to give them what they want. What we want (not need) is no secret at all. It is not more than gossips and negative stuffs. Those platforms and media sites which brings a lot of gossip garbage owns the space. And for worse, we are offering our immense attention. The more we focus upon, the better it fucks the future.

Instead of worrying drastically about the future, it is worth shitting about the present. Because present is what we have and our only present. We do things at present and it is that only exists. Past happened by a series of present movements and future is about to unfold its presence. Giving attention to present movement and channeling it though deed is what we need.

Free is good

The saying in marketing (mainly as a precaution to the victims) is that if you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product. This marketing strategy of making people a product is widely successful and people indeed have no problem in being a product. Since we don’t have to pay for the services they offer, we are comfortable with them using it as a product. If not, YouTube and Facebook never have survived. Since I mentioned these two companies, it is thoughtful to inquire about the scale of business this business strategy brings. There is nothing wrong with giving their services for free. If we look at the positive side we can embrace the amount of change it brought. But of course, it has its own drawbacks. Since the ratio of their proportionality is highly irrational giving good an unfair advantage, we could say those are life-changing technologies. And this strategy is visible almost anywhere. Giving a free trial is a great example. Besides we get news, articles,...

Learning

Nothing is gonna get complete without learning. Even people at their expertise learns a lot.

Running out of time

Death is a constant reminder that we are running out of time. When we look at the world, we see people running behind fame, material possessions and money. But what they are missing is the fact that these are all external placebos for external world. But what matters the most is the inner world. Once we know how to satisfy the inner world, then we no longer be the prisoner of this external dilemma. We can sort out the things by making use of our time doing the things that makes us feel proud and satisfied. But this requires courage and persistence. Because here problems in the shape of emotions strikes is. We may get mocked. We might hear rude words. But it is okay as long as we are doing the right things. In order to do the right things we must be cautious about the time that is slipping by us.

Small change for good future

Small changes create big impact over time. Giving consistent effort in developing a good habit is like watering a seed. The benefits seems far away. But you never know how useful it will be. At least view it as a process of trial and error. In the end, we are the ones who gets the benefitted from. So keep doing the practise.

Time framing for success

The problem with people who were used with instant gratification is that they would often assign wrong time frame with result analyses. What gets them to get their feet off the pride work is correlated with the measurement. The first few time blocks are always found to go against expectations. Without having the right time frame to measure, they often fall into the trap. The initials days or months always are meat to experiment and learn. During this learning process, things won’t go as expected and mistakes are necessary. Because learning at the early stages makes the person or the organization strong and keeps huge losses away in the near future. This period is often misunderstood and depicted as a wrong scenario thereby instilling the wrong belief or notion of passion. This is imprudent in nature and could be fixed straight with understanding or guidance. The range of possible net outcome differs different purposes. On a personal level, it requires less time a...

Ideas surpassing the pull

When we see people taking about the things that is not yet discovered or existing, we often refer them as nuts. Some of the things they were referring makes least sense. And the probability of making it to the real world is almost null. These crazy ideas never made the mediocre to astonish. Instead it induced them to criticize and drag it to the ground over time. Yet some ideas turned real and surpassed the resistance . This is not uncommon. Most of the ideas still gets reverted by mediocre pull. This world would have been a different one if there is no pull. But these pulls are, like some other barriers, meant to cross. Almost everything new has to surpass this resistance. Of it is strong enough, it will break the barrier. The strength of idea is a by product of the source where it born. A rigid determined source can often disrupt the pessimistic ambient field. Many ideas backed by less driven person dies with fear. And couple of years later, someone with powerful mindset...

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.

Identifying noise

Discovering noise while investing is a very important step. Because we tend to make mistakes based on that. Even investing in a very promising company sometimes lead us to withdraw funds. This happens to all investments. How noises leads to bad decision could be narrated by everyday example. We must have seen that when the price of a certain assets go down, we have this urge to withdraw money. But what if it goes up ?. So we wait for couple of days further to see the assets going down. So we withdraw money instantly with half of our invested money in hand. But after the withdrawals we see the price going up and wait for few days for the confirmation. After confirming that it is in a bullish run, we invest. But after a few days of investment the prices shoots down again burning our capital. This happens every time and we react same each time. By reacting to the markets this ways opens a wonderful opportunity to burn or capital in no less time. But when we zoom out the graph and...

communication power

When we look at the victims that fell for a scam, we could see that these people went from a suspect mind to a believer mind. Scammers use their skill of communication to trap common people. Hence communication when learnt, its application decides the wavelength of outcome.

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. ...
