Insanely Practical

Learning takes time, but seeking shallow understanding instead of deep mastery is a waste of that time. In most cases, true learning requires a deep grasp of underlying concepts. Without that depth of understanding, the knowledge won't be very useful. Investing the time and energy into proper learning will pay off later. But we need the patience to stick with it and keep working, without letting self-doubt creep in. The enemy is often the mind itself - our emotions make us question our abilities and convictions. We can't let that happen. We must stay focused on the hustle and keep moving forward. The key is recognizing that true learning takes commitment and perseverance. Shallow understanding may seem faster, but it won't serve us well in the long run. We have to be willing to put in the work required for deep, meaningful learning. With patience and determination, the rewards will come.

One thing that struck me when I did the calculation of my expenses is that it is bit of in a wrong direction. I could see the expenses rising up and up. But it's not the issue. Its the place where I'm spending. Literally no penny for education and majority for entertainment. The excuses while spending money on learning has been never visible while spending on entertainment. Even half of ir changes a lot.

Whenever we expect a result, it will be grounded on the work involved. The more efficient the work, the better the outcome will be. Most of the time when we expect the results without putting enough work, we suffer. So making sure that we give the best while expecting a good result.

The reason perhaps we are getting a notion of why this life is mostly unfair is due to the fact our distorted perception of how life should be. The perception mostly aligns with the illusionary world we imagine and once we see that the life trajectory is veering away from our illusionary track, we feel disappointed and in melancholy. The sad part is that we don't even learn after this incident. How life treats us is completely different from what we perceive life as a teacher.

What we should strive for is greatness. Greatness is nothing but becoming the best version of ourselves. We are the sum total of the impressions imprinted on our minds through our actions and thoughts. Of course, the rest is a combination of external factors. But the fact that we can control our thoughts and actions makes it our own responsibility to take care of our lives. We should be responsible because there is no one else to blame. Blaming someone else for our failure is a total waste of time. Once we accept the fact that without our involvement, nothing is possible, we'll take charge. It is that simple to observe. Everyone is busy with their own life. If we expect someone to come and help us, we will be fooled until we realize it ourselves. Maybe we can find someone trying to help us, but they can't do it every time. They know that their own life is more precious. Humans are mostly selfish, but the layers of selfishness are what make the difference. We can alter this conc...

The exaggerated fact of life being there to enjoy often results in suffering and misery. Pleasure wears the crown of both joy and misery. Only the joy of the moment is seen to a and he alone will understand and experience the depth of suffering. It is often blind to us. Or we could say we act as if we are blind to it. But it is our destiny that we should face it. There is no escape.

The process of breaking the ice should be treated from different angle. Consider the stone as a rigid and hard moulded personality. And we know that it is not the first hit or the last hot that's gonna break the rock, but a series of constant impact is what brings the results. So the thing is understanding and the hitting in accordance with what exactly is missing to break the rock

Why there should be a disciplined routine for a person is often considered to be a good thing. Because most of the people in life actually lacks a disciplined lifestyle and often leads to a regretful life. Misery and depression is the actual byproduct of indisciplined life. A meaningless life we could say. Life is always a blent of good and evil. Make a good out of it by having a disciplined life.

Why the comparison between monotheism and polytheism is considered unhealthy? First of all, those who engage in this unhealthy debate doesn't even know the existence of the god. The essence of these beliefs stems from being a builder of good life. But once they experience the comfort of religious shell, things go out of hand. A mere belief for wellness and prosperity turning into an ideology for hatred and violence. The core essence still not changed. What actually changed is the way of interpretation. Interpretation is contextual and seasonal. With time and situation, the message we receive from religious ideology certainly differs.  With the comfort and safeness, the tendancy to trigger people who believes in other religion gets in and slowly they revert. This will eventually turns into rivalry and violence. This is the reason we should be analytical about our beliefs and the core essence of its existence. Most of the religion that surpassed the hurdles of time has it's essen...

The only reason people won't go questioning again and again is because it takes a lot of time and effort. Meanwhile they might be thinking about spending their time which can give quick results. Is quick results an effective thing or not is subjective. But going deep inside a topic certainly gives you the reward. You may not get it quickly, but get it for sure

Occasionally, achieving concentration can prove to be a formidable challenge. This difficulty may stem from an array of factors, and notably, the subject matter at hand significantly influences this endeavor. Engaging with material where one possesses foundational knowledge often facilitates a smoother focus. In such instances, allowing the mind some respite to unwind and decompress can be exceedingly beneficial. The necessary duration of this interlude varies significantly among individuals, yet the utility of such breaks is undeniable. Empirical evidence suggests that intervals of relaxation interspersed with periods of effortful concentration can greatly enhance learning efficiency, surpassing the outcomes of attempting to maintain uninterrupted focus amidst a milieu of distraction.

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.

How we see problems is the reason our solution is the way it is. We can confront a problem in a variety of ways. either we could solve it permanently or we could find a temporary one for instant relief. but the outcome is what often matters. The permanent solution leads to new outcomes, new opportunities, and therefore a new better problem. But the temporary comes with the same old problems every time.

Admitting our faults can be difficult at times, as we may feel that we lose our status when we acknowledge the truth. However, considering ourselves as the ultimate destination of knowledge can lead to arrogance and rudeness. Although admitting our flaws may result in a loss of status, it is essential to avoid being drained by our imagination, which can keep the graph of our status down. We can actually benefit from acknowledging our flaws, but many people find it hard to admit them.

There are two ways you can look at it. one is dangerous to yourself and the second is to others. In both cases, the only difference is where the fear is directed. Because with fear, you can do many things and make people do things for you. but once the fear is gone, then you won't necessarily get the desired outcome. Fear is only a motivator. It won't stay for long. Either you must increase the fear or find an alternative means.

There is no use in waiting for the perfect time to start. the best perfect time is now and is only what exists. so waiting for the time that hasn't happened is a definite way to disaster. and the thing is we don't have as much time as we think we do. to realize the fact that we don't have time to come in contact with reality. So whatever you are procrastinating, whatever is in your mind that you want to do. just do it anyway. Do not care about the lack of resources or lack of contact. It will come along the way. and it is a great thing too that you only are starting with what you have and that is only what you are about to lose.

Neglecting the spiritual aspect of life is one the mistake people knowingly commit. All itntakes is just 10 minutes and it will make the difference over time.

Character ai is redefining the old way of acquiring knowledge. (Of course it does lot more). But the things is that we perform better under a mentor or a friend. With technology, you can befriend any person in the world.

Marcus Aurelius once said " To welcome with affection what is sent by fate". He meant every word he said. It is possible to get ourselves to welcome the fate. It brings oppertunity and self control. Knowing that we can have the control of our being is powerful when it comes to being vulnerable with emotions.

Doing things even when we don't feel like doing them is super quality. It can be developed through discipline. The only thing that differentiates between those who achieve despite their situation and those who don't is very wide. Avoiding the responsibility and putting things to another day often ends up in misery and internal suffering. We regret it, we lose our sleep and everything feels fucked up. So do the work consistently. Be a stoic. Just focus on the work and think nothing. This is how you do things consistently even when you don't feel like it
