Freedom is my birthright. I must haveit.

The problem is not the lack of resources or capability, but the lack of will.

If God is put up with untouchability, I will not call him God.

It may be providence's will that the cause I represent may prosper more by my suffering than by my remaining free.

The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it and carries it further back into remote antiquity.

Religion and practical life are not different. To take sanyas (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make the country, your family, and work together instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God.

The most practical teaching of the Gita, and one for which it is of abiding interest and value to the men of the world with whom life is a series of struggles is not to give way to any morbid sentimentality when duty demands sternness and the boldness to face terrible things.

If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness

Life is all about a card game. Selecting the right card is not in our hand. But playing well with the cards in hand determines our success.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak

I like to think of Tilak as a programmer. He is not too glamourous but he knows how to manage and solve resource constraint problems. He does not think of India as HUGE as it is but he sees it using a modular approach where you need to make progress on an infinitesimal level and that is a real good win too.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak Birth Anniversary: 10 powerful quotes by Indian freedom fighter that will inspire you 

Emotions are energy in motion. Without them, we wouldn't feel compelled to act, create, or move an inch. This is why they are so vital, not just in our personal lives, but also in the workplace. A company's formal organizational structure is always invisibly overlaid with an informal network of relationships fueled by emotions.

The Motion Of Emotions

<ul><li>The pandemic has made us reassess our relationships, and what truly matters to us.</li><li>We feel strongly about work, and if this sentiment is not recognized by our employers, we quit.</li><li>Often the fear of organizational backlash prevents us from pursuing a more emotional life at work, very much at the expense of more fulfilling and effective work cultures.</li></ul>

Toxic Positivity

<ul><li>Emotions occur along a gradient and are not sharply distinguishable or mutually exclusive.</li><li>For a considerable period, common wisdom held that there are a base set of six "classic" emotions: happy, surprised, afraid, disgusted, angry, and sad. Other studies point out that there are only four basic emotions.</li><li>Dissection and identification of emotions isn't possible as they are not crystallized to a single tone.</li></ul>

Emotions Overlap and Mash Together

<ul><li>Empathy is the foundation for emotional intimacy within workplaces</li><li>Difficult times must be met with the courage to meet difficult emotions in an effort to connect better with ourselves and others</li><li>Facing-and living-all of our emotions, rather than just "managing" them, is the difference between a merely productive workplace and one we wholeheartedly want to be at</li></ul>

Self-Empathy

A truly human workplace is not one that wants to make us happy all the time, contends Tim Leberecht, the cofounder and CEO of the House of Beautiful Business.

Why we need ’emotional diversity’ at work right now

Tedcore is a sub-genre of self-help books that uses feel-good philosophy to turn our anxieties into our identity. It combines the comforting vocabulary of modern therapy with grand pseudoscientific theories on human behaviour. Books such as Atlas of the Heart, Atomic Habits, The Body Keeps The Score, Attached, and Mating in Captivity market feel-good versions of philosophy that don't challenge our conceptions but validate our feelings. Many of these authors have given Ted talks and ensures everyone leaves feeling smarter and more special.

Tedcore

Tedcore is a product that falls under “self-care” and “affirms” our identity. It operates through a system of wellness: processing your trauma is vital. Yet it ignores everything that actually produces anxiety in our society, such as unstable economies, war, mass migration, climate change, and tearing social fabric and families.  All these theories of an abnormal self are indebted to Freudian psychoanalysis, yet it is rarely mentioned or only in passing.

Tedcore makes you feel good

The solutions these Tedcore books offer consistently encourage us to look outward, take yoga, get over our exes, and process our trauma by directing our energy towards something new. Mason describes the “value of suffering”. That “happiness requires struggle”, and something wonderful awaits you on the other side of feeling sorry for yourself. Yet you sit alone in your apartment or next to your sleeping partner, scanning the pages of a self-help book for mentions of the one thing you really care about: you.

Tedcore: the self-help books that have changed the way we live, speak and think

The business of staying alive. Jan Lucassen and James Suzman both think that there is, at this moment, a particular interest in work. They point to recent and possible future changes in work as reasons why this might be the case: the rise of the gig economy and the spectre of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Work To Live Or Live To Work?

Lucassen aims to produce a comprehensive history of work. This might seem an unexceptional undertaking, but what makes it at once important and demanding is how fully he embraces the still radical idea that all humans are historical, and not just a fraction of them.Put another way, Lucassen’s signal accomplishment is his rejection of the received convention identifying history with the past several thousand years of human existence, almost solely in Eurasia and especially in Europe.

History Of Work

A view in which most of human time is prehistory and most areas of the world are outside or without history (at least until recent centuries).Thus, in place of a narrative that begins with “the Greeks” and ends with “us” – or that takes this codified narrative and tacks on hunter-gatherers and the Neolithic Revolution as prefaces to it – Lucassen attempts what properly can be called not just a world history of work, but a human history of work. On this important point, we can hope that Lucassen’s text is in the vanguard of comprehensive histories of any topic.

A Human History Of Work

Such a thorough-going revisioning of the temporal depth and geographic scope of history – this recognition of history as co-extensive with human existence – gives history as a field of inquiry both anthropological ambitions and anthropological troubles. Thus, in taking “work” as the focus of his ambitious history, Lucassen faces the same conceptual problem that anthropology has long struggled with in regard to topics of cross-cultural study, notably “kinship”, “religion” and “economics”.

A Conceptual Problem

The great difficulty here is that such terms refer at once to something that is present wherever and whenever humans are present and, very differently, to something – also fully real – that is present in only a small subset of human social orders, and even in these not identically. Similarly, “work” can usefully be taken to refer to whatever humans, in every time and place, do to keep themselves alive – to obtain food and shelter, for instance.

The Term "Work"

Yet “work” in our world is also a cultural category or slot within which we, in our social world, place human activities on the basis of how fully (or, perhaps, how blatantly) they are located in a cash or monetary nexus. Sex is an obvious example of an activity that is work when it is paid for, but not in other cases. Work in this cultural sense exists as an attribution given to activities according to a particular set of social norms and values.

A Cultural Category

What this means for Lucassen’s project is that we can study work in the first sense across all moments of human existence, and thus can produce a history of this self-same thing. But work in the second sense cannot be examined throughout human existence, because it is not always there. To the contrary, it occurs only when and where monetary exchanges are present or, more precisely, are socially instituted – which is the case in only a small subset of history (in Lucassen’s properly expanded sense).

The Many Senses

What the recognition of work in the cultural sense demands, in terms of the project of producing a comprehensive human history of it, is the nuanced and often slippery task of comparing “work” as it exists for us to relevant cultural phenomena found in other times and places – with the considerable catch being to judge what the relevant comparatives are in other historical moments.

A Slippery Task

As the anthropologist Jim Boon has argued, doing this has much in common with translation, where one must find rough equivalents in a target language for something familiar, but then, rather than stopping, also register the differences or incommensurability between them.Lucassen fails to grapple with this hermeneutic or interpretative aspect of producing a human history of work. Instead he defines work at the outset of his book as “all pursuits apart from free time or leisure”.

 Differences or incommensurability 

This takes a division of life and time in which we today are immersed, and which arose under specific historical circumstances, and mis-recognizes it as an existential fact present everywhere humans are present. Lucassen’s book thus lacks a reliable and grounded basis for what is and is not included as it moves through human time, even as many of its segments are nicely informative taken on their own.

A Division Of Life and Time

The strongest part of the book is its discussion of increased industriousness across Eurasia from the 1600s through the early 1800s. Here Lucassen provides an excellent synthesis of the large literatures on Japan, China and Europe, and adds a helpful account of what, to date, remains a much smaller body of research on India. Lucassen registers both the common elements and differences between forms of labour intensification in these different regions of Eurasia, and he attends nicely to the range of ways labourers resisted exploitation and pursued better lives for themselves.

Strongest Parts Of The Book

Less satisfactory is a full section of one chapter devoted to “The Original Affluent Society”, Marshall Sahlins’s essay on hunter-gatherers, appropriating the catchy title but appending a question mark.This attention to Sahlins’s essay makes sense, given that it is one of the most important cross-cultural studies of work ever produced.Yet Lucassen fails to grasp that while Sahlins calculates hours of labour by hunter-gatherers, he is clear that this coding of time in studies of hunting-gathering societies is an analytic device introduced from our world for the sake of comparison.

Unsatisfactory 

Sahlins’s larger argument is that hunter-gatherers demonstrate a pursuit of a finite sufficiency (what economic historians would call “a target income”) that is generally obtainable by them with time to spare, and that in these circumstances, “work” does not exist as an objectified thing set apart from social life overall. E. P. Thompson understood this comparative, cultural point quite well, but Thompson gets almost no attention from Lucassen.

An Objectified Thing

Similarly, later in the book, when Lucassen discusses the Industrial Revolution, he oddly sets aside the role of fossil fuels as a crucial factor in “economic growth” over the past two centuries. He speaks instead of the importance of “steam power” – at the expense of naming the energy sources used to vaporize so much water and do so much else (generate electricity, for instance).

A Crucial Factor

Entirely consistent with this notable backgrounding of fossil fuels, Lucassen’s concluding discussion of “future scenarios” for work leaves out any consideration of our unfolding climate catastrophe as being at most only “indirectly” related to work: an exclusion Lucassen explicitly acknowledges only in an endnote. Given how extensively work in the decades ahead of us is likely to be affected by the crises of climate change, this alone is a good indication of the inadequacy of how Lucassen has defined work as the object of his inquiry.

Future Scenarios

Lucassen’s is a scholarly work defined by an academic project; Suzman seeks to dispense knowledge to a wider audience. Whereas Lucassen devotes one section of a chapter to Sahlins’s famous essay, Suzman provides an entire chapter entitled “The Original Affluent Society”. That chapter does an admirable job of providing an accessible version of Sahlins’s argument, to the effect that the modern predicament of finding our means or resources insufficient for our wants – driving us to work and work and work, and driving planet-destroying “growth” – is not a universal aspect of human existence.

A Universal Aspect of Human Existence

But the chapter is surrounded by a text that offers a dizzying array of unrelated, and too often incompatible, claims concerning, to give a sample: the role of fire in early hominid evolution; the relationship of all living things to the entropy of the universe; and the emergence by natural selection of “social”, as distinct from “selfish”, traits. It is as if, to draw in and entertain the elusive and desired general reader, Suzman offers everything and anything that he thinks might capture that reader’s attention.

A Dizzying Array

Big global historical books that have been particularly successful in capturing a broad readership over the past twenty-five years have tended to follow one of two paths. A book such as Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997) is driven by a small number of big ideas that Diamond deploys to explain far too much. Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens (2011), by contrast, is notably discursive, if also persistently entertaining. In terms of this contrast, Suzman’s Work is decisively in the Sapiens mould – but even more so. The result is a Dada-esque pastiche ...

A Dada-esque Pastiche ...

At a moment when hyper-capitalism is ferociously extracting surplus value from workers and producing new extremes of inequality, while also driving growth past what our planet can bear, we very much need highly accessible books for broad audiences that build on Sahlins’s critical insights. In this regard, David Graeber’s Debt: The first 5,000 years (2011) and Jason Hickel’s Less Is More: How degrowth will save the world (2020) are far more than either Jan Lucassen’s or James Suzman’s studies of the history of workDaniel A.

The main definition of opportunity cost is that every decision you make there is a trade off to it Not all trade offs are equal though so throughout your day you need to examine the trade offs you are making and figure out whether they work or not

Opportunity Cost 

This is a mental model that states you want to get things that are higher in quality but lower in investments or money. It states that when you bet on something most people don’t usually think will win your return on investment or ROI is incredibly large

Paramutal Betting Or “Pool Betting”

This is a strong mental model to have especially if you are going into a field that is already well established When you specialize you give people a reason to want to follow you or buy from your business. Specialization can help you gain more customers

Specialization Is Key 

Don’t go into business or marry someone you cannot trust that is a recipe for disaster When you say you trust someone then you need to show it by your actions as well that is important

Margin Of Safety and Trus

Incentives are one of the strongest influences in humankind Incentives help push workers to be more productive but you need to be careful because of the over justification effect

Decision making and strategic thinking are fundamental business abilities that many people find hard to use in their everyday work. Exceptional people however, appear to dive into “blue sky thinking” and balance it with practical execution: proving strong thought processes behind their doing.

Powerful Thinking

Fortunately, everybody can learn to utilise some basic techniques to improve their decision making skills. In this short article, you will figure out one of the many ways I use to think innovatively and create solutions to complex problems.

Systems thinking is a method for tackling a problem by identifying the different components and how they relate to each other. As opposed to responding to singular issues that emerge, a systems thinker gets some information about the connections and the different elements inside the problem, searches for patterns over time, and looks for main causes.

The four levels of thinking: 1. The Event Level The event level is the level at which we ordinarily see the world — for example, getting up one morning to discover we have caught a cold. While this issue can be corrected with straightforward action, the iceberg model pushes us not to jump into a solution.

2. The Pattern Level When we look just underneath the event level, we often see patterns. Comparing the events over time we may see that we contract more bugs when we don’t get enough rest. Watching the patterns enables us to estimate future actions.

3. The Structure Level Underneath the patterns level lies the structure level. At the point when we ask, “What is causing the problem we are observing?” the appropriate response is normally some sort of structure. For example, I can be busy at work or not eating healthily.

4. The Mental Model Level Mental models are visual representation in our minds, convictions, ethics, desires and qualities that enable structures to keep working as they seem to be. These are the convictions that we frequently gain instinctively from our life background. For example: being busy means being successful or eat healthily means eating fruits and vegetables.

Do you want a Superpower? Something better than flying high with a cape or running faster than the train. In fact, a superpower even better than predicting your own future. Yes, it exists! And it’s called Self-discipline. How? Let me explain it.

Self-discipline is a superpower that not only predicts your future but also helps you in transforming it into a reality. It is a bridge that’ll take you from where you are now, to where you want to be in the future. A famous quote from Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility” holds true in case of self-discipline too. It is not easy to be disciplined, and it requires some sacrifices if you want bigger benefits in the future.

What Is Self-discipline?

You have to avoid the temptations that are stopping you from being a better version of yourself. For instance, you have to avoid that one slice of Pizza on your cheat day. You have to resist hitting “snooze” when the alarm hits at 6:00 a.m. You have to stop yourself from texting that toxic person who broke your heart. I know it sounds tough and boring. You may be thinking there’s no harm in making small exceptions. But, you must have noticed that you often fail to control all these temptations. This is where the self-discipline kicks in to save the day.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” If you can focus on what you want the most, you’ll understand that most of the daily temptations are nothing but hurdles in your ultimate goal. I’ve heard people debating on the importance of self-discipline as if it’s just an option or a choice. No, it isn’t an option. Self-discipline is a necessity if you want to make the best out of the <a href="https://ankitkhnna.medium.com/how-much-time-do-you-really-have-5484b99d002f">limited time </a>you have.

That is why you have to develop self-discipline so that the lack of willpower won’t invite procrastination or doubt. Here are the 5 simple yet effective ways to develop self-discipline that’ll make you the best version of yourself.

How to Develop Self-discipline?

Think about all those important things you’ve given up just because of a little discomfort. If you want to be disciplined, you need to practice being uncomfortable. Take a cold shower, ask your crush out, apply for those leaves you’re planning, and bargain for a discount at the mart. What would be the worst outcome? A small itch, a temporary rejection, or a little embarrassment. But if you’ll succeed, I don’t need to remind you of the reward which would be much bigger.

1. Get out of your comfort zone

Start with something small and stick to it. For example, waking up early, meditating for only 15 minutes, or going out for a morning walk. Stick to the schedule and do it daily without any exception. To make it easier for yourself, choose something you’re confident about. Once your tolerance increases, you’ll be able to set up the big goals like exercising daily and planning your diet chart.

2. Learn to make a habit

You’ll need to understand the triggers that are stopping you from being self-disciplined. For example, you can’t plan a healthy diet if your refrigerator is full of cheesecakes and pints of beer. Self-control is easy when you don’t have distractions around you. Make a list of things that are moving you away from your goal and get rid of them as soon as possible.

3. Get rid of temptations

According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs">Maslow’s hierarchy of needs </a>, basic needs like food, shelter, warmth and rest comes before your psychological and self-fulfillment needs. You must take care of your basic needs if you would like to be self-disciplined and achieve big in the future. Eat healthy and stay hydrated, do sufficient exercise, and get enough sleep to keep yourself fit and ready.

4. Take care of yourself

It’s important to track your progress and check how far you’ve reached. Make a checklist on an app or keep a calendar to mark your daily routine.Self-monitoring gives you confidence and makes it easier for you to track down your weaknesses and opportunity areas. Once you find out your weakness, it’ll be much easier to tackle it.Remember, self-discipline is not a day’s or a month’s process. It will take time to develop. Have faith in yourself and do not compare your progress with others. You’ll definitely achieve your goals at the right time if you’re willing to work hard for them.

5. Monitor your progress

As quoted by one of the greatest minds in history, Nikola Tesla, “I could only achieve success in my life through self-discipline, and I applied it until my wish and my will became one.”
