Thoughts on laziness

The reason for our laziness and procrastination is not that we weren't motivated, it is that we think we have more time than we think. We live in a way such that we won't die. Each and every moment we are moving towards death. We barely notice ourselves getting older and then suddenly we find ourselves passed decades without doing anything special or gaining the experience. Experience is the only way to make life favorable. An experience like this comes from facing fear and reflecting upon that. Facing the fear requires you to be attentive and not be idle

The path of experience

Genuine conviction is invariably born from firsthand experience. This is because, innately, our belief systems are wired to accept anything that can be perceived through our sensory experiences, a trait that evolved during our ancestral hunting epochs. Once we acquire such direct experiences, no further evidence is required to cement our belief. These experiences thus become the compass by which we navigate our existence. Hence, the optimum method of learning is through experimentation and introspection, for knowledge acquired in this manner becomes deeply embedded within our psyche, imparting indispensable lessons for personal development and growth. Predominantly, our learning derives from the direct experiences of others who possess a profound understanding and apply this wisdom to enhance their lives. Regrettably, we often fail to leverage this wealth of knowledge to our own advantage.

Expressive tendency

People express when they feel like they are safe among the peers. It is a trust factor. This trust factor can be developed through mutual understanding. When a group of stranger collabs and start to express the embarrassing truth, individuals within the peers develops the tendency to vomit the dirty truths. This is like a chain reaction, the more people express, the trust gets stronger and stronger.

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.

Going beyond the numbers

The ability to go and look beyond numbers makes a huge difference in an organization. Mostly, the leaders do take notice of the revenue decrease and this push layoffs and payment cuts. They should be more focused on what is bothering the employees and what makes them suck at whatever they do. Threatening with salary cut and layoff will work in the short run. But the fuel ceases soon and the individual at the top need to figure out another intimidating stuffs that would make employees ass on fire. It doesn't work.

Better making use of time

Utilizing the time means making it more productive. We can make it productive by doing quality things in between. But the question is whether the quality thing is enough. Certainly not. The difference here is the degree of concentration. Being more focused irrefutably bring better result.

Fortune in internet

Winning a lottery when nothing actually left to try on was a hope that might hit as a jackpot. In this internet scenario, this is much different. You can hit jackpot by hundreds of thousands of way. It isn’t only the money the jackpot brings us. It includes much more. Fame, pride , success and a lifelong career might get open. This is no joke anymore.

The latter changed the world. But internet opened a new world. A digital sophisticated world. It’s is pretty much sophisticated than the real world. No one exactly knows what’s really happening in the world of internet. These are the stuffs which are yet to be visible. The things that we once practiced in the real world now can be done through internet. Infact there are things that is only possible in the internet. We are inventing new methods and com...

Rescheduling and thrashing

Rescheduling and thrashing are both different words. But they are connected and dependent. One won’t (mustn’t) survive without the other. This was best described by Seth in his masterpiece Linchpin . It make sense when both are studied which levels the confusion of delayed shipping. Shipping isn’t confined to products and services, but it extends to anything. To think shipping as doing as per the schedule makes it more easy to grasp. Even the subtle things that hide along the appears to be meaningful. Thrashing is nothing but excuses due to fear that delays shipping. And rescheduling is a by-product of thrashing. Thrashing occurs at everything and every time. Mostly due to the weak resistance, we are nullified about this. At times when resistance peaks, we consciously prefer to stay the same. We can’t relate the circumstances happened at the start and happening at the end. The usual cliché “ it happens each time” is the best explanation the resistance wants us to believ...

Fest for ideologies

Fests, especially cultural fests are meant to make the tribal ideology robust. We can see this with religion and even scientific communities. These events brings people of same ideology and let them speak themselves and proliferate the idea. This is the essence of a communal gatherings. Those memories lingers and make the accept ideology stronger.

When marketing exceeds the threshold

It's been around at the infant state of industrial revolution that the now known modern type marketing started fueling on. That was a healthy practice. People found fortune in it and it really turns out to be working. Upto this day, marketing is a significant invention that led world to be more diplomatic than any other. Trade led national to shake hands and it paved the way to millions of jobs in hand and billions indirectly. Modern day freelancers often are dependent on marketing. It's so easy in this day to become a marketer with a smartphone. We could craft a successful life story as a marketer within less than enough time. Even posting a picture of product considered as marketing. The worse comes when they say self marketing after posting own picture. Which is why it is prioritised to take a look at where this is going. It is fair to admit as myself as a marketer that the scenario is getting absurd. That healthy thing was long gone. Now it's like you have to be carefu...

Levels of maturity

Levels of maturity can be attributed to the various developmental stages of life. Maturing enough to take decisions and accepting the responsibility is the stem behind being mature. Maturity often comes with suffering or in an easy sense, seeing reality as reality. It is harder than before. No one actually wants to face the brutalities of the real world. Often we can spot adults and working professionals playing video games to relieve, relief from the real world. We cannot expect age-based maturity from those individuals. They are feeding the monster under the bed. They have to face it sometimes. Seeing reality as it is the best way to be mature. This way we will reach the conclusion that nothing is permanent and everyone is destined to disappear from earth anyway.
