There are two different types of people in the world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe."

You have your way. I have my way.As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you

I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word; and the third, a good deed

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering

My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people;on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company

You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;How could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?

Love your enemies because they bring out the best in you

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how

There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; It all depends on how you use them.

Without music, life would be a mistake

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Key lessons from 18 must-read books

A manager responsibilities gravitate between 2 areas:Develop people: Managers motivated by developing people want you to do the best work of your career. They regularly check in on how you are doing and care a great deal about team and company culture, and your role in it. They’re a personal cheerleader.Deliver outcomes: Managers motivated by delivering outcomes want you to drive excellent work to completion. They regularly check in on the status of your projects and care a great deal about the quality, progress, and outcomes of the work, and your role in it. They’re a personal work catalyst.

Why does a manager manage?

Craft: Managers who value craft want u to do spectacular, work. Craft-focused managers seek a combination of pixel-perfection and innovation. They’ll obsess over the details. These types of managers are often experts themselves who may have moved into a management role to multiply their impact. Machinery: Managers who value machinery believe that how things get done is just as important as what gets done. They seek to build well-oiled machines and processes that are working. Often, managers who take pride in machinery are professional managers more than they are practitioners.

What brings a manager pride?

Assigns tasks: Managers who assign tasks share tightly-scoped workstreams and expect you to accomplish those workstreams to spec as efficiently as possible. Micromanagers. At their best, managers who assign tasks roll up their sleeves, dive into the work with you, and teach you a ton along the way. Assigns goals: Managers who assign goals share the problem statement and expect you to come up with the tactics that will provide the best solution most efficiently. It’s up to you to investigate potential solutions, prioritize workstreams, take the work to completion, and share results.

Constructive Criticism: What it is and How to Take it 

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Comparative examination isn't easy and may bruise your ego. But if you find you have a weakness, consider it a blessing because you can address the problem instead of remaining weak and unaware</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Take short burst of action and long periods of practice and self-improvement. Don't chase after every petty matter and waste your energy</li><li class="ql-align-justify">By removing yourself from the immediate, stressful situation, you also take out the emotion that often prompts you to make rash, thoughtless decisions.</li></ul>

Comparative Examination & Calculative Risk

When tension erupts into conflict in your own life, the sooner you address and resolve it, the sooner you can mend your relationship with your opponent and get on with your life. You can end conflicts quickly by having a clear idea of what you want to accomplish and then focusing all your efforts on accomplishing it. To ensure you don't waste time and prolong the conflict, take only those actions that help, and refuse to take actions that don't help. Your time is limited, as are your energy and resources. You are better off being frugal with all three.

Conflict Management In Life

Causing your adversary unnecessary suffering doesn't make your own situation any better. In fact, it might harm your position because it incites his or hatred of you. Once you put aside emotional cries for vengeance and retaliation, you are able to start making decisions impartially and will discover that you can improve your own strength and position without ruining your adversary.

Objective Evaluation Of Conflict

True excellence manifests from the objective evaluation of yourself and not necessarily from what other people think of you.

<ul><li>Study all aspects of a problem coolly and rationally, plan carefully and act prudently while trying to minimize damage. Sometimes active inaction will be the best course until circumstances change and you have the advantage necessary to prevail.</li><li>Believing you will always prevail can lead to waste and possibly catastrophe. </li><li>You should neither overestimate your own strength nor underestimate the strength of your opponent.</li><li>Whatever the situation, you can't always unilaterally control it, so you should be prepared to adopt to it.</li></ul>

Planning

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">When you conceal yourself from view, no one knows how strong you are or where to attack.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">In order to quickly solve your life's problems, such as conflicts, don't settle for half-hearted efforts; once you make up your mind to accomplish a mission, you must complete it without hesitation.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Understand the role played by luck in your past successes and in your life- mistaking good fortune for skill could cause you to act recklessly and put you in danger in the future.</li></ul>

From its origins in China, The Art of War traveled the world to inform the strategies of Napoleon and World War II generals. More recently, it has taken on a new life as a guide to competing successfully in business, law, and sports. All of The Art of War's concepts retain their value to modern readers, from the prudence of circumventing a strong opponent and taking advantage of a weak one to the wisdom of preparedness and flexibility. Other topics include strategy, tactics, maneuvering, communications, the treatment of soldiers, and the worth of well-trained officers. History enthusiasts, business thought leaders, and anyone intrigued by competition and rivalry will appreciate this elegant edition of the classic work.

Sun Tzu (孫子; pinyin: Sūnzǐ) is a honorific title bestowed upon Sūn Wu (孫武 c. 544-496 BC), the author of The Art of War (孫子兵法), an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy. Sun Tzu believed in the use of the military sciences to effect outcomes that would result in peace.In the author's name, Sūn Wu, the character wu, meaning "military", is the same as the character in wu shu, or martial art. Sun Wu also has a courtesy name, Chang Qing (Cháng Qīng).

Quote of the Day

When organisations need to solve a problem, they may create a task force or advisory committee to develop a consensus around new ideas, such as procedures, policies, products or services. However, research shows that consensus-based problem-solving groups often kill innovative ideas. These groups are prone to groupthink - quick agreement around status quo solutions with little deliberation. Yet, there are exceptions. Not all consensus-based problem-solving groups engage in groupthink.

Consensus-based problem-solving groups

People tend to think that current solutions must be good. As a result, groups tend to move towards the status quo because they are less likely to fail. "It worked before." Groups can overcome groupthink by one member expressing dissatisfaction with the status quo. The words that describe dissatisfaction are called triggers because they can kick start the group embracing new and different approaches. Triggers give members the opportunity to reveal how each member view to problem.

Challenge the status quo

Groupthink can be avoided when one member reacts to the trigger by proposing a placeholder solution. It may not be the final solution but functions as a transitional placeholder that allows the group to think concretely and abstractly.
The placeholder solution allows members a transitional space where play and experimentation are encouraged.

Adopt a placeholder solution

Groups tasked with coming to a consensus can interpret delayed agreement as a lack of progress or failure. Teams that adopt a placeholder solution can agree on the "why " of an idea, even if they have different views about how to execute it. They can frame the lack of final agreement as progress and maintain morale and momentum.

Celebrate progress towards final agreement

How to Steer Clear of Groupthink

The apologue The Boiling Frog describes a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is dropped into boiling water suddenly, it will jump out; but, if the frog is placed in lukewarm water and slowly brought to a boil, it will not recognise the danger and will be cooked to death.These are my intellectual guiding principles. They will all aid in clearer thinking and decision making on the entrepreneurial journey.

Stepping Stones for Entrepreneurs


Rather than asking, “How can I grow my company?” you should ask, “What are the weaknesses of my company?” How can I work on them? Brainstorm with a list of things to avoid.

1. Inversion

People deceive themselves about socially acceptable preferences by saying one thing in private and different things in public. Beware of such people.

2. Hypocrisy

We emulate one another since we have no idea what we want. We crave the same things as other people instead of looking at our own needs.

3. Desire vs. Need

Society excels at developing talent but fails miserably at creating genius. Talented people can hit targets that others cannot. On the other hand, a genius can identify targets that others cannot see.

4. Talent vs. Genius

Stay away from the competition. Focus on problems in an organization that would otherwise go unsolved.

5. Compete to solve

When you make a conscious decision to do one thing, you also make an unconscious decision to do something else. Do something every day.

6. Opportunity Cost

Large gaps between rapidly evolving technologies and stale social standards create new business opportunities. For example, the launch of the iPhone was at the appropriate time in 2007. Google Glass was released too soon.

7. The Window of Opportunity

A group of people working on a project will argue over the tiniest of details. What is complicated will be overlooked. Instead of discussing the appropriate computer system, the team can quarrel about the colour.

8. The Law of Triviality

A small amount of something might have the opposite impact of a large amount. A little bit of stress can help you wake up, but too much stress is harmful. Do not put too much pressure on yourself.

9. Hormesis

We are oblivious to what we can not see. Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that’s measured has any significance. People manage what they can measure. So society keeps making the same mistakes.

10. Legibility

Corporations encourage conventionality, but the Internet encourages individuals to be distinctive. If you work in a creative profession, strive to be the only one with your style and go with it. Make yourself some intellectual real estate.

11. Personal Monopoly

When everyone agrees on something, it can lead to disastrous decisions.

12. The Paradox of Consensus

Delighting your guests with an unexpected present is the secret to good hospitality. If you are writing a series of tweets, include a bonus suggestion. I did that with this article.

13. Dozen+1

These ideas are important for any Entrepreneur who is relaxed about his/her business approach

12 Steps to ensuring your Entrepreneurship

Most of the times in life, we’ll be confused about whether our action is right or wrong. When we are in confusion, there is a higher possibility of taking the wrong path. But wait, how do we decide if something is wrong- isn’t this the basis of our confusion?

To be confused

No action is right or wrong in itself. The key here is the thought behind the action. Yes, you’re right, it could also be called the ‘intention’. So, remember, if the ‘why’ (the reason for your action) is clear, the ‘what’ (the action itself) can be categorised into right or wrong.

Know your “Why”

Genuinely assessing your intentions is also important. Don’t stick to an idea and claim it to be right. Instead, step back, be true to yourself and don’t convince yourself that a thought is right if the first thing that strikes your mind is the fact that it is wrong. We also call it to be a hunch or a gut feeling.

Need for an honest assessment 

At the end of the day, if your intentions are not right, your actions tend to back-fire and you might have to suffer for what you did. So, decide before you act on your thought.These were the words in Bhagavath Geeta and Jay Shetty, in his book “Think like a Monk” has presented the same beautifully.
