How to invest?

It is evident that people migrate their assets to which gives good yields. Those who holds position in stocks at the time of bull run consider themselves as long term investors. But that won't last longer. Whenever the fed comes up with good bond yield followed by the inflation, these long term investors becomes short term investors and sell all their positions to build new positions in government bonds. This is swing. Wherever they see big number, they switch. But this is not how an actual investor do. He invests and stands still, may be even for decades. At the end of his tenure, we call him successful and study him. But the only thing that we see different there is a simple factor of patience. He never swings with the news, but stick with the guts.

Growth is super fast

Looking at the rate of growth of the world, we could arguably say that the growth is accelerated from the last two decade. The graph is clearly exponential. It is already predicted that the it would be further exponential. From the eyes of this decade, it is most likely to find a horizontal graph when looking at couple of centuries before. There were agricultural, industrial and even the cognitive revolution took place. It is considered to be the slow growth period relative to what is happening now. But for a person living at the time of industrial revolution must have thought that it was the biggest ever revolution that happened so far. That is totally right. Not a single country dared to expel it. Most of them feared of being left behind. Revolution became inevitable in the modern world. We are witnessing and partaking in lots of it. Among the foremost one is AI revolution. Some of the Scandinavian countries are still at the verge of digital revolution. They need some time to m...

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.

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.

Perfection paralysis

Perfection can be said as an illusion. It is never fully achievable. People strive to become perfect at things that they love. They try so hard and the process continues. It is like infinity, there is no identified boundary. We tend to go forward hoping to achieve perfection. But the journey pays some meaningful dividends. The reason we build teams is to execute our plans perfectly. It is to an extent, could be done by defining a boundary or target. But without the boundary, it may sometimes turn into frustration. Frustration comes in the way of rescheduling . Often people without a clearly defined goal stumble to arrive at a destination. Even at the time of shipping, they try to make the product perfect. They thrash multiple times and let every time the schedule go away. This is an ultimate sign of poor leadership. By doing this, there are no actual benefits. It often results in dry motivation. Employees loose enthusiasm and the momentum reverse. Sometimes products or s...
