Cold Showers

Cold Showers

There's this ideology about being prepared to withstand any difficult situations and one way is to get used to hardship.

I take at least 1 cold shower in a month.

This may seem easy but consciously choosing to do so is where it is difficult. It also let's you appreciate the comforts we take for granted so easily.

There are few other suggestions in the book to try walking on barefoot for a day, try living out of ₹50 - ₹100 (about a dollar's worth money) for a day.

It's Ok To Not Know Everything

It's Ok To Not Know Everything

It is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows.

Have accepted the fact that I didn't know about many things at work and life in general.

It is humbling and that's the reality too, we don't know about many things in life. When we accept this we give room to learn.

Luck And Prepara

Luck And Prepara

You can prepare yourself to get lucky by focusing on doing the right thing at the right time - and, ironically, render luck mostly unnecessary in the process.

Luck happens when Preparation meets Opportunity. Luck is a by-product when the Preparation is there.

Do, but Not To Impress Someone

Do, but Not To Impress Someone

People whose opinion we covet are not all that great. They're flawed, distracted and wowed by all sorts of silly things themselves. We know this and yet we don't want to think about it.

Impressing someone has become the least of priorities. Just do what you can, with what you have, from where you are. Being good enough is good enough.
