Insanely Practical

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

 Spiritual enlightenment is more important than intelligence. People we admire were more spiritually enlightened than others. And spiritual enlightenment comes from work. The lessons learned from the experience. Because experience is what makes a person well educated. It is a great teacher. The more experienced a person is, the better he is as a human being. Many people we see around are just cogs. The ultimate goal of an individual must be spiritual enlightenment through his work. In order to do it, he must cultivate experience throughout his life.   Any man engaged in any work is on the journey of self-discovery. With every flaw and good, he is discovering himself. Uncovering each slice of enlightenment. It doesn’t require being lonely meditating for years for self-realisation. Any work when done mindfully leads to self-realisation, the ultimate goal of an individual. What we see around is otherwise and people aren’t mindful enough to understand themself. Swami Vivekananda says in K

 Attachment creates problems. The reason we feel lonely whenever outside of our comfort zone is the experience we are going through is new. When we go through something that we never went through before, we feel a kind of uncomfortableness. This uncomfortableness is resulting in the creation of new brain patterns. Brains neuron activates when we go through something new. The existing pattern when finds it difficult to work with. This is the exact reason why while the new patterns form, we feel insecure and frustrated. Sometimes it creates fear. The brain nature of fight or flee comes to action when we put ourselves in fear. Fear most of the time creates a fleeing sensation than fighting. Because fleeing is less risky than fighting. Your life is guaranteed when you flee. But fighting takes a lot of effort that maintains the required outcome. So if fighting is not a desirable option, the fleeing is the only left one. That is why we see some people easily setting their presence in the new

Many times I noticed people getting skeptical when it comes to Bitcoin and Blockchain. This happens every time when something that is confidential completely unknown to the masses comes to attention. The reason is the lack of proof. People need to validate the history before making sure everything is fine and safe to work. Computers and internet faced the same issue. But within a few decades it proved that this will become an everyday life thing. In case of Bitcoin we don’t have to wait for multiple decades, this can happen within a very few decade. The reason is the exponential growth of technologies and the understanding of human consciousness. In this world of everything is free, all we need is the right sources to form a good perception. A larger difference between just a decade ago and now is the mode of availability of knowledge. We could see people saying that the reason why they missed the Amazon edge was they didn’t saw its rise because of the lack of knowledge. Now this is n

The revolution of internet bought changed that humanity never witnessed before. The totality of change that it made changed the planet like never before. One thing that need to emphasize is the field of money. Money, when discovered thought how this paper gonna be trusted. But the slow pace paid the result. It is like we say slow and steady wins the race. People started adopting it and it soon created a revolution. And till now it is going very successful. The reason that paper money prevailed all these years is its relevance and the easiness to handle. We cannot handle tons of product single handedly, but we can easily handle the money equivalent. This simple difference made a large difference. There are lot of benefits such as durability ie we can keep it as long as we want. So then people started accumulating money for their work. Money began to replace everything from there on. It became a single necessity regardless of the language and culture. But what we are witnessing is its

 What happens when you don’t do things that you have to do? That is a million-dollar question. Most of the time we can see this occurrence in our life multiple times. It is a reality and we tend to sway towards it. It creates a lot of problems. This is due to procrastination, the worst of worst. It is a common behavior found among all human beings. Some people are the masters of it and others are the defendants. You don’t have to work to become a master of procrastination. All you have to do is nothing. Literally nothing in particular. Its effect is big in both ways. For a defender he turns and fights. Here the chance is a higher probability of winning outcome. Those are the people stand top in the world. All the things that were achieved throughout history were, somehow procrastination defied action. The same is absolutely true for procrastinators. They don’t do the things that needed to be done and for the time later, they regret it the most. All the things that happened in the

The difference between a successful individual and a non successful, we can call him a miserable person, could be evaluated by hundreds of things. Every adverse situation both these people go through experience different fond of wind. One person (say the successful one) sees opportunity and lessons to learn, whereas the other smells disaster. These are the by-product creation of perception. But those who make well use of their time which is alloted makes the difference. Output measures and output is created by the time efficiently used. To use time more efficiently, we need focus. In speaking of focus, we can make a substantial difference between people who are master and miserable in focusing. It is a quality that is identified among successful people. They are super focused in their work. In that way they create more within less time. It is not the amount of time that matters, but the efficiency on time management. We can observe around or even by an introspection about our self t

The criteria for a long term business success lies in solving a problem. When the business is qualified, by certain customer standard, to solve the existing problem or that is about to exist, we can say that there lies a bright future. Because solving a problem is the riskiest one when compared to being in a community of problem solvers. Bitcoin came as a solution for many problems. Problems of being controlled by financial authorities while making a monitory transaction, the time lag between the transfer, heavy transfer charges and concern of security problems. It is revolutionizing. Because once we verge to make this solution as proliferating as possible, we can find much better problem for a much better solution. Etherium being the future contract provider solves advance problems. In the midst of these, as glittered by the success of these fundamentally strong cryptos, many found opportunity to grab the pie. They created altcoins with no purpose, but they listed In the exchanges su

The rise of new industries bring it’s subsidiaries. These subsidiaries, like the industry creates a massive business opportunities. Everything that changed the world itself has created industries that led to the creation of oppertunities. It is a ripple effect and it gets widen. The rise google created such things. Many people found an opportunity to put their work online since they found a successful startup connecting customers to the creators. Then came the advertising and the rise of digital marketing. These all created millions of oppertunities. Likewise, the new technology of Blockchain is such a disrupter. It is a common problem that is being circulating is the environmental problems that is created by the mining. It is serious problem because of the scalability of its power consumption. But there is a saying that big problem means big business opportunities. This is quite famous and we have proof of businesses converting big problems into oppertunities. To mine crypto, espec

 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, mov

 Being an early investor is not just a position to earn a lot of money, it is much more. The thing that distinguishes between an early investor and a normal investor is their ability to take risks. It is easy to invest in a blue-chip stock, but what is hard is to find those blue-chip companies at its infant stage. Those who find those companies are not just investors, there are visionaries. They push the change and make the world a better world. These investors when they find companies with great potential, capable enough to change the world, they risk their money, not just for them, but for the greater good of humanity. If it wasn’t for them, the world would be a different place. Founders of companies don’t go behind the banks as a means of finding their initial investor, instead, they go and find a new investment firm that holds trust in the future. That is why Y Combinator is so in demand among startup founders. They provide everything necessary for the growth of the organization,

 Because of the failed attempts to make new technology at bay, the authorities are forced to use it. In all cases it benefited everyone. So no one got the frustration of being left behind or not up to the mark. But this not the case when it comes to cryptos. Because of the ravaging feature of decentralization, it became a nightmare for the central authorities. The fear of economy not on the hands, looking from their side is daunting. All these years the most powerful tool used to control the economy is now shifting. But some of them are mistaken and eluded under false interpretation of crypto lovers. It is not the digital existence that’s what people find most attractive, it is the decentralization. With no authority to trench and peep, it is safe. Since there needs no validation from any officials, it reaches right away into the person at the opposite end. The growing popularity of crypto is also the reason for growing concerns of financial authorities. A messed up financial country,

What’s more difficult in a process of formation is the initial part. Not only at the very beginning stage where everything is completely unknown and averse. Because the same concept of brains uncomfortableness with change. But when we undergo change for a reasonable amount of time, it becomes a habit. Although these habits are formed by consistent effort, it sometimes feels like in vane. Because once we start anything new it will go through a series of process. The part od process is same for everything, but the time for which it to pass differs dramatically. After starting something new the first few attempts might be interesting due to the curiosity involved. Then the curiosity decays with the time and only those who started in search meaning survive the part. Here we can spot the people with an attitude to learn. They must have found something purposeful enough to keep them go further. After surviving the dip they will go forward with past sour experiences. They know where people w

 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. Only vagueness exists. So what successful entrepreneu

  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.   The

  Investments are always referred to do for the long term. That is why the term trading came into action. When we refer to investments, it is basically for a year or longer. It could be a decade or even more. The premise is that the growth must be certain. It is no big deal to find a company that is growth-promising. Yet many people fail to find a good investment company. They still rely on investing gurus for their portfolio expansion. But here the bad thing is they go with half of your product. That makes sense because whoever has this information earns the money.  So when growth is certain there is no reason not to invest. The returns are 100 percent sure. Yet for a visible return, we don’t invest. That is in ourselves. We know that investing in our self is the best investment and it yields a greater return. Exponential growth is guaranteed. But here the problem is, although we have this proof of self-growth, most people don’t see any direct pool of money formation from here. Here p

 The growth of an organization progresses till the founders or those who are at the top position progresses with the same goal as when they started. During the initial stages of a business, it is meaningful to do in accordance with the goal of those who founded it. But as the company grows and grabs a lot of customers, it must go beyond its initial goals by making why substantial. The difference here is the mindset that leads the individual to the top. Those who possess a growth mindset make the company grow on both sides. They expand their own outlets along with diversifying the serviceable products. Each time they introduce a new product, they aim at decades of growth ahead. Growing happens for both the individuals and the company.  If we look at the leading companies of any era, we could see them expanding their businesses from time to time. They introduce new products and services, but the reason remains the same. They do not expand because of their obsession with money, but with

 The learning curve is an actual depiction of what happens when we start to learn something new relative to time. It is easy for a novice to think that whatever he learns is not that hard. But the time goes, it is understandable that the motivation is dropping down and the learning is not as fun as before. It starts to decline down and down until to test the persons' enthusiasm. Those who just started as a fun activity drops here. it is really hard to sustain motivation here because this is the hard phase. Those who survive here go for long shot. This dip in the curve eliminates about 80% of those who started. It is a very mean way of finding the best, but it works. This can be observed from our own lives. it is the reason why we left some of the things that we thought would be beneficial for us. Those who are experts in their field went through this. They have gone so far by now. If we keep the process for so long until it crosses the dip, then it is possible to become an expert

  How the things we did in the past influences the present is a visible truth. Whenever we look and at our journey, we could observe that everything we did made us. It created the perception, the character, and the mindset. If you think you have this poor mediocre mindset, then it is the sole action that you did in the past. It is clearly visible. Even the small portion that is influential could be the highest impactful one. Even the pace of our breath contributed to the present feeling.   The famous saying what brought you here won’t get you there is quite true. It is most certain hereby now that, like the things we did in the past influenced our present, the things we do now creates the future. Every bad and good action contributes equally to the development of character and mindset. It includes both physical and mental blows. Each contributes a well-structured lesson to make us lead ahead. We may not observe the actual contribution that now has on the future. Now could be a br

It is not the new technology that makes the difference, it is the rate at which it spread that makes the difference. A fast-moving technology that is easy to assess and simple enough to understand makes the difference. May the rise of the internet is a big thing, but only after Mosaic and Google, it became transparent. The easiness of use and simplicity in design attracts people to spend time upon. What’s now novel, but has the potential to grow exponentially soon become easily accessible. So the creator won’t get the maximum edge, it is who decentralize makes the difference and profit. To truly make a change, the change must be proliferated easily and rigorously. Once the technology is introduced, it becomes a piece of equipment for growth. Every tool was discovered to replace the old one or to get more results. So it is tough for the old ones to sustain in the market. Market rewards easy and simple tools, with every update, things are becoming more simple and popular. So, whatever t

 There is a strategy that is gaining its popularity at its peak within the last two decades is the mechanism of copycat. It is not new, but the copycat usage is at all time high. It took actually decades, in the early 90s and before, to actually copy the business model. There are multiple reasons behind that. The two most important ones are the lack of communication tools and incompetence.  When a business model becomes successful, it rewards the owner and some of the partners. And their success only limits within their reach and there were no things such as viral marketing. If it had to spread, it must go through word of mouth. It is slow but powerful. Moreover, the business tycoons of that era were not ready to reveal their secret recipes. They themselves developed and applied to every venture. Whenever the organization became successful, they will reign the field, most probably forever. And people thinking of starting a business won't even think of starting one with a heavy-

Dealing with situations, when it won’t go as expected, is a skill that anyone can develop over time. Like any skill, it requires some effort and hard work. Most of the time people came to know about its value only after having gone through it multiple times. They fail initially at balancing the situation. More precisely, they fail at keeping their own mind in line. It is seen everywhere, but only a few people adjust to make an improvement in dealing with the problem.   There are a lot of benefits to it. By handling the situation very clearly, we can refrain the circumstances from going bad to worse. It saves a lot of money and time, especially for a business. This is a part of good decision-making skills. Whenever we find a person who could outperform in dealing with harsh situations, if we scrutinize, we can observe his insane ability to make good decisions without an emotional influence. This is a skill that needs to be developed. Because no human in the world is free from proble

One fallacy when comes to selling is the methodology of listening. It is one of the hardest job. Because we always love to say than hear. We want to express our feelings and emotions. We don’t like when people talk always about what they do and what they believe. We have our own ideology and beliefs. But it is a key holding when it comes to selling. Selling involves emotions. Once we know how to manipulate the emotion we can easily make the deal. That’s what a good salesperson do. What is hard for many people will be mastered. He throws every hint, then learns a lot from it. People always to talk about whatever their thing is. It doesn’t matter if it is win or lose, everybody loves to talk about it. They expect us to show some me empathy or jealous. It is a bad habit to talk without a limit. Like every bad habits brings a consequence, being manipulated is one of them. Sales people found this and they created a separate module for its manipulation. They extract information from this an

When is the right time to sell a product? An experienced seller can sell at anytime. There is no division of time of any kind of rime frame that he chooses to sell. Whenever an opportunity gets( keep in mind that a seller don’t seek opportunity, instead he seeks it), he proposes his plan. You might wonder how, the truth is you never know he is selling. In fact he is not selling, you are buying. What is the difference and why isn’t it same?. A seller sells a product even when the customer don’t interested. But the master seller creates a want in the buyer to buy. That’s all his job. He doesn’t emphasize on the qualities of the product he is about to sell, instead he expands the awareness of the customer about insecurities that this product is about to solve. Then, the problem almost solved. And people like to purchase form trustable sources. Of one points your flaws instead of flattering, he is to be trusted. Creating a want or the interest towards a product is more important than spe

 When it comes to predicting things, only an experienced person can predict it with the most probable accuracy. Because prediction involves a deep understanding of the behavior of that predictive thing. When a novice person enters into the game of prediction, he must go through different circumstances to increase the probability of an outcome. Every time when a prediction goes wrong, it is an opportunity to learn. The prediction stands when the pattern repeats. Pattern for different things repeats at the different time frames and different levels of outcomes. That is why trading became difficult. It needs years of experience to make a most probable move when there are plenty of outcomes. But it is also rewarding. A person who predicts the weather earns much less than the one who predicts the price of a stock. Just think about a person in demand who can predict death. Prediction of death is nearly impossible because of the infinite number of infinite numbers of probability. It is a perm

Not ever before that there existed this much opportunity to start a new business. If we look a couple of years back, we could see people aspiring to be an entrepreneur or simply to be the boss of their life, they must do it on their own. Or in other words, there is no one to mentor them. The drawback of those ages was the lack of entrepreneurs. People started business at that time or the rate at which the entrepreneur born was extremely small. So, people need to go farther to get mentorship or to start a business with a high probable win. The roles models are not there to inspire. That was a beginning stage and now it is booming. Especially with the introduction of technology, business communication (even better, customer acquisition) became a high probable winning game. It is now easy to get advice from. The stories and advice of successful entrepreneurs are only a few clicks away. Anyone who has the access to the internet can get information that, a couple of years back, is only av

The best time to start something is to start as soon as possible. This might sound old, but it is powerful. The saying” the best to me to do the thing was yesterday, and the second-best time is now” has its own relevance. At any time, we can observe numerous things at their initial stages of development. Looking and scrutinizing history is proof of that. Even in this day l, something might be at its development and yet to be released. This gives us hope to look at the future and see the brighter side Revolutionizing things happen within the gap of every few years. But only a few partake in its development. This is a flaw in the culture. Many people believe that once a technology is revealed and they lose there, they back out easily blaming the circumstances and sometimes themselves for not being able to produce their own version at that movement. After a few, they will find that again a new technology passed by them and they could not do anything this time either. This is not a fault

The scale of the universe sometimes makes us to think our problem in a different way. The problem we face were the creation of us. Not so far it happened. Most of the time, when we confront with a problem it either makes as weak or an enthusiast. Weaker person might go back and blame the situation and the things that is happening around. He never looks at the inefficiencies that his persona stands. Because he is not accustomed with accepting problems. It is easy to spot these kind of people get into the mode of complaining and often ending up as a failure. On the other hand the enthusiastics go through it and explore the moments. They are keen about the problem and the solution it brings. They are not known for having a bias towards fear or giving up. Even if they fails to make it to their expectations, they are happy about the opportunity they got and the lessons they learnt. They find solutions and go towards more creative problems instead of stumbling upon the same problem multip

It is very hard to articulate how the things unfold. It never leave like how we expected to happen. We can either get thrill from it from it for all the unexpected moves or we can shift ourselves in the dark with an aversion. We can actually make to different outcome from these two options. But only thing that highlights at the end is the effect it made it ourselves. One brings good and other, not necessarily bad, but nothing. It is same as not doing anything. Whenever we face with a situation, there is an equal probability to make it as we expected or it turns other way. Seeing that possibility before it happen will not certainly refrain it from happening, because whatever gonna happen is gonna happen. But those perception can mould our lives by accepting the situation. When we start to accept the things, we starts to analyze. When we start to analyze, we starts to improve by making good decisions. So whatever the outcome, even it is on our side, accepting and analyzing is useful. Tha

When we look at the history, all the losers are depicted as the wrong one. Always the hero got a lot of hype and were considered as the role models by many. It is a human nature to put the winners in an exalted position and losers at the opposite. The power a winner get equals the reputation and the power the loser looses. One occupied the success, then those who represents ( family, group, or a nation) get exalted as well. We saw this with many. When the British conquered majority of the land, the privilege was extended to the next many generations. The great grandfathers made their grandson the lords. They could beat, tax, trade, or kill the slave in accordance to his will. The slaves are suppressed to follow only the commands. History privileged few generations. It took many life’s and great protests to break the shackles of slavery. But this is just one case, whenever a history was made and declared the winner, then the losers are the “immigrants”. They are not permitted to do anyt
