Do not waste time

Time is always moving fast. it is we when get bored feels like the time is not at all moving. But once we realize that we only have limited time, we get nervous and we look back. Sadly there is nothing so big that we accomplished. Without respecting time we cannot achieve anything.

Career mistakes

Career mistakes although it seems to be trivial at the moment, it turns everything around. The effect is only visible after couple of years. The only thing that those decision leave you with is to regret. Career mistakes happens to everyone, but it should not happen because of laziness and procrastination which is absolutely innour control.

Facing problems

For almost every human, life will not be easy to live. There will be a lot of hustle and problems. Only after overcoming it, we can improve our life. Once we find out the way to tackle the problem on our own, we can create problems that are forth to come. No human in the world enjoys a problem-less life. Everyone has their own problems and the problem I have might not seem relevant to you. After all deep inside we are all selfish.

Quitting your job

Quitting a job is different for different people. Some people do it to start their own business and others in search of other ones. But quitting is hard. It is really challenging and one of the utmost level of getting out of the comfort zone. It requires courage and clarity. 'Why' is important here. Without a reason to quit, quitting is worthless and foolish.

How to focus?

Focusing is about eliminating the distraction and focusing on the goal. Goals are great way to make the path visible. With a clear, the probability of being falling into the wrong track decrease. In another words, focus is about saying NO.

Marketing Placebo Effect

The marketing placebo effect is popular among marketers. It is by tricking the consumer to buy products by carving a need in them. It is not just filling the void. It is creating and then filling the void. Almost all the product costs a way lot more than the actual cost. In exchange for the sensational feeling left by the advertising, the consumer feels the same feeling while using it. This is the placebo effect. Although the product is not as good as what we found in the ads, the power of advertising makes it so. The prime example is the coco-cola. Everyone from the creator to the consumer knows that it is a toxic drink, the annual revenue is growing in a rapid manner and they made a 17% increase in the total revenue in YoY from FY20. The marketing placebo effect is, in most cases, good for the company and awful for the customer.

Learning from mistakes

Keeping track of our mistakes is a good way to learn from them and not make them twice. Making mistakes is good as long as we are learning from it and not making it twice. Making the same mistakes more than twice is a complete waste of time. We only have a limited amount of time and making use of it is the best way to avoid pitfalls.

Lesson from experience

Most of the learnings come from experience and one should focus on gaining experience than pleasuring ourselves in the unrealistic world of social media and pornography. Reflecting upon the experience is the greatest lesson we can ever learn from life. Missing this opportunity is a blunder.

Focus on mission

Startups instead of focusing on the investors and profit, they should look at solving problems and making an impact. By doing so they can create a culture where it alters the way people think and act.

Investing after the crash

Why should we invest after the crash? It has a lot to do with just buying the stock at a discounted price. After the crash, we can filter out the fundamentally strong stocks that survived the crash and made very little correction. Most of the new age stocks are overvalued and could not survive the crash. They might lose half of their value and would be a disaster for investors. By the way they publicize the IPO most of the retailers fell for it and make the investment. During the crash, this would be the top loser and struggle to break the all-time high. Therefore a crash can be viewed as an opportunity to invest in the filtered blue-chip stocks.

Truth will save your life

The difficulty in telling truth outlines how falsified we are ourselves. It is difficult, to tell the truth, especially if it hurts anyone. But telling truth is essential to keep ourselves integral and to kill the growing monster under the carpet. Telling truth is like being naked and thus nothing to hide and easier to be ourselves. We don't have to try to please anyone if we have nothing to hide.

Telling truth

You can change your life by telling truth. The reason we suffer more often is because of the false image that we created to confront others. This may be good for external pleasure. But we being ourselves, not comfortable with this situation suffer  

Placing the target

Having a fixed percentage of profit brings meaning to the trade. First, we don't know the logic behind placing the target, but gradually we will find the logic behind fixing the target. In the long term, it will increase the accuracy of prediction.

Market condition

If the market condition is not good and impossible to predict even to the half probability, then there is nothing wrong with staying out of it untill you find the time after things loosen up.

Who suffers more

Inflation is not a natural phenomenon. It is created by humans as a consequence of their greed and neediness. But who suffers more is the common people whose partaking in the creation of inflation is less. They cannot escape from the inflation consequence and the interest rate hikes by the central bank.

Extending the circle of safety

Extending the circle of safety to the employees at the very bottom of the pyramid actually creates a safe environment in overall nature. Often times priority is given to the people at the top and those who involve directly in increasing the shareholder's value. It is good for the short term, but miserable in the long run. The people at the bottom of the hierarchy deal with the core of the business. They manufacture the products, interact directly with the customer, respond to the feedback, and know a lot more than actual people at the top. The more care provided to the employees, the better the business will be.

Caring the employees

A company management that is focusing on shareholders value than employees safety and wellness, that might turn to be a disaster. It may bring revenues and profit to to the company in the short term, but in the long term, it kills the company spirit.  People forget what the company is about and its moral values and make them feels like they are not considered as a human, but a machine.
