How do I belong   We have a very core feeling of belonging to a group circle or society. A sense of belonging is much more powerful and perhaps can be found in almost 99% of homo sapiens. Every time we take new actions we immediately turn to our spouse or friends to seek validation and be assured. Evolution-based sense of belonging emotions is inhibited from an early stage of childhood. It has always been there in human nature. What if people don't approve of us?  Or they refute our way of thinking. Or most importantly, what if we do not fit into such peculiar culture? I would say, it's OK to be different. If we follow our intuition as a result. Things will turn out to be better or in case doesn't work maybe we will not   regret it. Because we are hearing our voice. A smart person is someone who listens to everyone and follows his innate intuition feeling in other words gut feeling. The irony is, we would do much better when we don't consider others' validation, rea...

Learn to unlearn. Perhaps, many things have been compliances with us, especially during school days. Consciously or unconsciously every person has developed some sort of beliefs and conviction. Whether it's related to culture, education, business, or relations. Either we follow our codes or go along with society's consensus. However, we can learn to unlearn things that have been taught or developed. A popular example is Education -which we believed have completed the moment we finished college. On the other hand, Education is infinite regardless of the knowledge we accumulate we have yet ocean to be learned. Likewise, there are some absurd beliefs we have developed intrinsically. So, disregard and observe things with a critical perspective and focus on understanding core principles. Sooner or later you will begin to accept a few things, reject a few and follow based on your understanding. Begin looking at your life with a fresh lens of glasses. Rethink, reevaluate and re-organi...

Enjoy self-company As we grow older we seem to get more caught up in our profession or perhaps leave our fun activities behind. However, people who know and deal with isolation can make their life interesting or joyful. We can learn to enjoy our company which seems tedious but it's where the magic happens. Note:- Enjoyment here emphasises unique habits or activities not using a phone. In contrast, relying on others for our happiness, adventures or enjoyment can be relatively precious sometimes not always. Whereas learning to enjoy self-company can be enormously good in the long term. So, Learn to paint Learn to cook Learn to enjoy or walk in nature Have a cup of tea alone Go for an adventure  Read 📚 or write ✍ Do things which fascinate you and deep dive into them. Here is the interesting fact:- once you enjoy your company then you will not only survive but thrives. Thanks for visiting  Shaik

Sitting with difficult problems. The remarkable fact about solving any problem is to let in the open air or in other words make it in motion rather than staying still. Indeed, every person has different challenges in their life. Regardless, of the standard of life or age. Beginning from the first standard to grandparents. Invariably,  those problems can only get solved when we constantly focus on understanding fundamentals and coming up with a different solution. In my anecdotes, my most important challenge is to be fit and of course for every human being out there in the world. So the longer I tend to stay on a problem the better the solution will come up and thus easy to implement. And once we solved the problem then move on to the next challenges. Keep weekly track records to analyze. It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer- Albert Einstein. Thanks for visiting  Shaik

' Nullius in verba ' (take nobody's word for it') Few people dared to attempt such stunts as ignoring society's consensus. However, It is the smartest decision any person can make in the modern era. Historically, people who didn't look for Consensus has been rewarded with great mind and produced some of their greatest work. Scientists' behaviour was certainly unique and extraordinary albeit, they walked alone and figured it out themselves. Henry Ford sums up nicely:- if I ask people about my innovative idea of the automobile! They would say "we are better off without motor vehicles or just keep the wheels behind our fastest horses ". People who challenged the status quo and reject society's Consensus are more likely to adopt different and fresh perspectives in their Lives and eventually fix the world's problems. The more neatly you fit into society, the less  free actually you are. -Naval Ravikanth  Thanks for visiting. Shaik

Doing Business or Thinking Business The fulfilment comes from our job profession nevertheless, we fell short due to the financial point of view. Because, Mainly we are in a non-Scalable Business where the compound effect is impervious. In contrast, In non - Scalable professions:- Work cannot be replicated and thus require particular actions repetitively. For instance:- Every excellent cook has to prepare meals for every satisfied customer thus no compound effect impact on the profession. Every wage worker (Daily worker ) has to work every day. And, Every person who works at an hourly rate has no Scalable leverage therefore the output is as limited as the inputs. Scalable:- Movie stars working on one particular project thus replicating the product therefore enormous output due to the use of leverage and skills. Any profession which deals with designing, art, building or creating comes into Scalable - Business. Even writing books is Scalable. Furthermore, In our daily lives, ...

Honouring. Imagine a situation where we are inspiring others, taking care of people sincerely and perhaps being a great asset to this particular nation and eventually solving global problems. What would you call such an extraordinary Contribution? Firstly, It's a way of honouring ourself Or it's a Way of honouring our parents who dreamed of providing a better life for us. It's a way of honouring our School teachers who believe in us and taught us. We can do things for the sake of honouring someone special to us. Moreover, we can't deny the fact that finances play a crucial role but I would argue there are kind and compassionate work can be created with costing no financial aid. Such as sharing knowledge or guiding the young generation. Regardless of our conditions in life. It's always better to find or create a unique way where we can honour ourselves or our beloved people. Because it can bring enormous satisfaction to our lives or way to improve the quality of slee...

We are the Easiest person to be fooled The first principle is:- Never fool anybody and you are the easiest person to be fooled. We know intrinsically that we aren't doing a good job despite having enormous time on our hands. Somehow, we delude ourselves into the fantasy world, which enables us to think that "I'm going to do such and such in such period" Or basically " I'm going to be wealthy " Isn't just the words that proclaim ourselves. Or are we doing some intense and consistent work to achieve our ambition? And, I'm as guilty as others. We say more things and keep the least effort and frankly, there is no strong commitment or consistency in our lives. Moreover, we seem to procrastinate more each day. In other words, we live a delusion life. To encapsulate, we are fooling ourselves because our words do not match our actions thus no real efforts or change. So the first principle is:- Stop fooling yourself  Or be honest about your life. Thanks f...

Listening Skill. How can we improve our relationships with others? Ans:- By listening to them attentively and asking valuable questions. Again, we seem to neglect when others are trying to talk to us or we cut into the middle of interactions. Listening to others bring tremendous empathy and makes strong bonds among us. Furthermore, the root of many conflicts begins with not listening to others attentively. This is why students fail in many exams because during class time they were busy doing unproductive activities. The older I get, the more I realized the importance of listening skills. The best hack to attract someone is to ask questions and listen to them meticulously. To build strong relations. Sometimes all we need to do is to listen. Not give solutions or opinion Just listen.

Get Bored. The fear of being bored. This can be seen in almost every young generation Children and grown-ups. However, if you want to make something worthwhile out of your life. If you are looking to find your place in this world. And, if you are struggling to initiate important decisions but couldn't think clearly. I would strongly suggest getting bored. Create situations in which you have nothing to do besides getting bored or eventually falling asleep. In an absurd race of humanity. No person is ready to be bored or allows themselves into such situations. Embark upon a journey to get boring for a few hours a day and embrace it. Sooner or later you can see the magic of boredom. Get bored, it's where your ideas come from. Get bored, it's where you can truly find yourself. Thanks for visiting  Shaik

Courage. Let's discuss elephant in the room -Courage. Perhaps, we have been trained to be silent during our school days. Or, it can be the explicit factor by listening to pessimists. People aren't courageous enough to take compelling decisions on their own. And, I'm as guilty as too. However, Courage and fear go on the same page. The more fear we have, the less courageous we feel and thus afraid to take any important decisions on our own or step beyond our fear. And vice versa. How can we bypass our fear? The precise solution can be to take more action and begin taking bold steps without considering people's opinions and consensus. The more actions we take, the less we fear henceforth and the more Courageous we become. More importantly,  we have to understand that life is Short and valuable Time is slipping away from our hands every day. Courage is something which empowered us to move forward and take bold steps in a positive direction despite all odds seem against us. ...

What are we willing to give up to become our desired best version? If you want to be an Entrepreneur. You only have time for Sleep Exercise Eating Healthy food Reading and meditation  Finally, Finding market fit products every day. Relentless efforts until you get what you want Or any profession you choose. Whether you want to be a writer  Doctor, Accountant, Engineer or Musician. If we are not willing to sacrifice Entertainment, bad habits, comfort level or any other attributes. Sooner or later we will suffer therefore more complex situations. Every person needs to sit in a room quietly, close their eyes and ask similar questions. Primarily, we want to know what we want to become or in what field we are more curious, or maybe we are good at something. Figuring out about our life is the most important decision later dealing with sacrifice. In variably,  we seem to know our passionate profession innately meanwhile we aren't ready to sacrifice a few things along our way to ...

📚 skill. If you had an opportunity to go back in time during your school period, What is the most important skill you would like to Develop? I'm not sure about others. However, I'm almost certain that If I had that kind of opportunity I would have developed my most valuable skill "Reading". I would have read all sorts of 📚 Books. Beginning from Evolution to Cosmology. And, most importantly Reading fundamental books such as:- ▪︎The wealth of the nation (Economics ) ▪︎The Darwin theory of Evolution (Biology) ▪︎The Six Easy pieces or anything from Richard Feynman  ▪︎The Nasim Taleb books  And finally, ▪︎The beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch. Sooner or later, We still got time to begin, it's never too late to improve our knowledge or learning. Most of us have graduated now and have misconceptions that we have completed our Education. On contrary, there is tons of Learning left to explore and the good thing about learning ; it never gets finished. I would rather...

The profound day of my life. (2 years ago) It was a tragic dream for me today as I woke up and had a very unusual feeling. I tried not to sleep again and instead thought of going to the library and having my reading session for at least 2hrs. As I began my journey to the library another tragedy happened my phone slipped out of my pocket and fall on the road as a result the phone display had gone. Now, I'm an optimist and I also try to contemplate a brighter side even in a tragic situation like this. But this was a horrible incident concerning the phone. I have encountered 2 traumatic incidents and it's still 7 am. Later, I realized that it's part of life. Perhaps life is full of unsurprising events which we learn to accept. On contrary, my dedication level improve and overall, I achieved my Graduation later and also qualified for an important test (IELTS). I still remember the tragic day because it had radical changes in my life of course positive changes. Thanks for visiti...

Small investment, long-term benefits. One more time I repeat investment not spending on shopping or groceries or any other purpose. If you made any Rs -100 investment? Or perhaps most recently? There is a common conception that utilizing money on things such as books 📚 , stationary or perhaps productive items can have a long-term effect and as a result bring enormous value to our life. And, if you are curious about my condition? Yes, of course, I invested in whiteboard wall charts which were incredibly helpful during my practice sessions. And, I'm an Artist and a bit old fashioned in that regard so I'm always looking to collect some sort of stationaries to create or make something. Over the last 2 years:- My most valuable investment is:- 1) kindle 2)Bluetooth Headset  3)physical Books 4)Eye mask 5) Notebooks such as journals or diaries. Imagine you have an idea and want to put it on paper 📃 or journal. So, it's always better to be pre-planned and therefore you can impleme...

The karma. You get what you put into the basket. If you value time, time will become your alley or vice versa. If we respect and treat everyone sincerely, others will pay back the same respect. If we have a pure character to share and give more not only in terms of finances. But overall sharing what we have,  whether it's the knowledge you have or helping someone with your precious time. Sooner or later those things will be rewarded back to us. And, the common misconception is having expectations. The true qualities are those in which you have zero expectations and doing for the sake of art or genuinely being generous. Being Generous is hard. It requires sacrifice and pure courage. Nonetheless, it is worthwhile to be ethical not because of others, but because of our self-esteem. In the modern world, pure Actions matter. Not pure intentions. Thanks for visiting  Shaik

Once upon a time, they were two woodcutters Lived in a small village. Let's assume one man's name is "John" And, the second man is "Adam" Both had a contractual job of cutting trees and were equally rewarded with almost the same income on a regular base. Suddenly Adam improved his income by 5x although putting in the same effort as John. So one day John approached him and enquired about his income secret. So, here is how Adam has explained. One day:- Adam realized that maybe its time to improve his income because of family responsibilities but had no idea how to do it. However, he found a great hack to improve which is to sharpen his axe before or after cutting the tree. Subsequently, he followed sharping axe principle consistently and is now being rewarded 5x compared to John. This story had stuck in my head for over two years now and said and written by Abraham Lincoln. In conclusion, we spend way more time putting effort, but not relaxing or sharpening ou...

Sometime we are not proud of ourselves. Perhaps we treat someone poorly. Invariably we didn't live upto our own ethical code. we disrespected someone for merely silly reason. It all boils down to our pure character. That's why actions matters not intentions. If we find ourself in such consequences then it is an indication to pause and improve ourselves. Be the kind of person ,you wish you admire. Or be the kind of person you feel proud to have in your life. I would say:-  "speak generously " Walk "elegantly", and  take care others "Sincerely". Do not act as if thou wert going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good. Marcus Aurelius -

  Shortness of Life. We assume life is short, but we waste so much time everyday. Personally ,I have been wasting time throughout my life and still being unproductive here and there. But , having realized that I make sure everyday I utilize my precious hours doing productive activities such as reading 📚 ,writing ,or listening to Podcast. There I make most of my day. Everybody's life is just slipping away each day We don't seems to care. We don't seems to improve. Nor we are intrigued to bring some sort of changes. In the above calender given weeks of 90 years. We have almost done with 25% of our life weeks. And ,no person knows about their mortality. So we can make vows that :- We can start to improve. We can stop procrastination. We can change and adopt productive routine. Don't counts the days ,make every day count. Mohammed Ali.

I'm not perfect. No person is perfect. I'm a hypocrite. And I just observe things happening in and around us. I notice things. What will you do when you notice such situations? Perhaps, everyone has a different method which doesn't mean that it must be the same way. I choose my way to express myself through writing blogs in which I'm trying to identify the modern challenges and conversely trying to provide solutions to them. Essentially, I'm more fascinated by topics Such as:- 1)Society indoctrination,  2)Modern Parenting, 3)modern technology's influence on the millennium,  4)daily routine or Habits and 5)finally valuable skills. These blogs are for a particular audience whose life is improving every day. I have taken a vow to myself that. Regardless of the outcome of my blogs  I will Just show up every day even for 5 people. Even if it takes year or 2 years to build my audience. Just Show up. As simple as it seems. No Doubt, Skilled people are valued, But Consi...

 The sources of learning is abundant, it's the desire to learn is incredibly scarce. May be it's time to cultivate desire by taking small changes in our lives. basically ,I have different platform to learn or educate my self over the year. The means of my learnings are :- ▪︎Books ▪︎Audible ▪︎Podcast ▪︎Twitter ▪︎often Youtube  However ,one of the best experiences I had over the course of time is listening to Podcast. It's an amazing and Effortless way to educate ourself even when we are driving or walking or doing exercise. Usually ,Podcast is suitable when we are in motion and Reading 📚 is flexible when we are sitting still. So ,what kind of Podcast I listen to ? Essentially ,my Podcast list would go like this :- 1)Naval Ravikanth Podcast 2)Tim ferris 3)Simon sinek 4)Seth Godin  And many more Artists or Entrepreneurs sharing their point of view with us with no charging amount. And Yes ,it's free to everyone  Yes ,it's downloadble  And  Yes ,you can choose ...

Creativity is dying everyday either due to the self confidence or lack of consistency. However ,there is one thing for sure. People need reassurance, they need a sense of belonging and more importantly they need to be appreciated by others. So ,when we post something online and we instantly expecting to gain more likes,comments and followers. Nonetheless ,the outcome isn't always good especially in terms of online content. It takes time to build our niche or audience. One of my favorite questions to be answered before posting anything online. 1)What are you trying to change ? 2)what kind of audience do you want to target? 3)what particular solutions you are offering so that people's life becomes better ? According to my observation -people are not afraid to do something new rather afraid of likes or comments. I would say -what if we do not have numbers norms instead have consistency bias. Where numbers don't matter, only consistency matters. I would say more creative will c...

What's our life purpose? Why are we so busy in life? What I'm doing wrong? Can I change my situation? Can I become a better person or a better version of myself? Why is that society look for status and money? What is that I'm good at? Do I know my mortality? What would I do differently to improve my work life? Can I take the risk now? Can I be more polite and kind to others? Is it possible for me to take hard decisions such as fitness, startup and building? Is it possible for me to rethink, reorganize and reevaluate my character? Is this the time to take a step ahead? Is this a time to change things in life? Is this the time to stop procrastination? Is this the time to be Brave and more courageous? Or is it the time to protect my time and start prioritising valuable things? "You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong" Richard Feyn...

The later you realize it, the worse the situation it will get. Having to spend an enormous time on shallow and unproductive activities will do no good to your personal or professional life. I used to be on very hardcore phone addict streaming phones and watching many movies and series. There was a time when I would say to a person:- you just name the series, I will let you know every piece of information about it with or without spoilers. Now, I realized all those days, all those hours will not come back to me. Precious time has been lost by using a smartphone. I would have rather read 📚 more books. I would have rather figured out what to do in my life. Or, at least I would have rather begun startup something with my brand. Now, whenever I see any person either at home or outside. They are far more busy scrolling reels or TikTok videos on phones. Children to old age parents. This obsession has even taken over business people. Business People are, wasting their time on phones, instead ...

The most efficient way to raise and nurture our kids at home is to cultivate reading habits. Children are like plants. The sooner you bend them,  the more flexible they will be and the better the outcome later. We have indoctrinated in such a way that we make or impose negative enforcement on our kids instead of using simple methods. For instance,  instead of beating or shouting at them, speak politely and use different experiments to nurture them. And more importantly, don't just say them what to do, rather show them with our actions. Having children is one of the blessings. Nonetheless, our way of raising them became mediocre or below average. One thing I would consider doing is:- Replace phones with kindle and books 📚everywhere. Furthermore, keep productive and interesting toys to play with them. And finally, I would love to walk with them in the wilderness or nature. Teach your children how to think, not what to think. Richard Feynman  

I'm not here to pay bills and die. Elizabeth gilbert  One of the most profound lines I have encountered in my life. Supposedly, we are just living our life with shallowness without ever realizing our true potential or meaning of life. However, I don't much but I can claim there is more to life than just surviving or enjoying. I happened to believe Real Scientists have more meaningful life than usual people because in a way they are the main reason our humanity is moving forward. Does no person know about Life in general? I have my options. I would like you to think once again. And , here is my answer. We are not here just to pay bills and die,  We are here to create, build, learn, teach and finally solve. Want to know your answers too. Thanks 

Everyone is prepared for their best days ahead. But how many of us are prepared for worst days ? Very few hopefully. The Real braveness would be prepare for the worst time. We all know that  Some days are good  Some days are excellent  Some days are memorable  And ,Some days are depressing. However, I firmly belive preparing emotionally ,mentally and physically towards our worst days would be smart desicion. Regardless the outcome in life. Always be prepared with next things. There was a soldier once lived in small village China, he got injured in battle and send back to his hometown, then everyone says :- you are so lucky. He replied :- let's see. Later ,he got handicapped donation. Everyone in village says :- he is lucky. He respond :- let's see. One day ,military service selected village people by force except him. Again ,people said, Look how he got lucky again. He respond :- let's see. We may never know tomorrow , However we can have choice to react in a most hu...
