When things slips today

Weeks before the actual commencement feels like a heavy load. The reason is the amount of stuff that is to be completed. It takes a lot of energy and time. Whenever we confront such a situation, we tend to do two things, either make a plan or leave the plan. The former is a lot better. Because with the least amount of time and inaccurate decisive situation, we might have come to the conclusion which is more precise than the latter. Speaking of it making a plan is really daunting. Here the plan itself reveals the work and effort that need to be put in. So some people finish as per their will finishing the desired portions within time. But the others keep it on procrastination. They are resting because they have done a mountain task of structuring and planning. The rest of the day goes for entertainment. As soon as they find their former plan is no longer valid, they make another with the same willpower and attitude. This happens multiple times finally reaching the exact date of completion. Here there is no time to plan, so go for it and see whatever it takes to face the consequence. This happens to every procrastinator. We must have witnessed this in our own life.

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...

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. ...

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.

Surviving a crash

A company which survives all the negative forces thrives in the future. A company or a startup generally focus on solving problem. The bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity, and sometimes the bigger the risk. But taking such rewards yields better results. Results really defines the success. So whenever a company makes good amount of return as per their vision or greater than the previous year. And more probably we can see that those organization which survive the dip offers a very good incentives to investors as the future. During the dotcom bubble that happened in the late 20th century, those ventures which survived yielded a very good return to the investors later. Only a fundamentally strong company could survive such kind of dip. After that people are convinced about it bright future and those who then became the retail investors made a try. Therefore a dip or even a horrible dip has such kind of advantages. It can convince people and investors to trust.

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.
