There is some energy above who is looking at us. For me, it’s God. For many others, it can be aliens or whatnot.
Our actions are part of our virtues. But our belief defines us. There is some energy, coming and guiding us toward betterment. It can be consciousness, it can be something else for others.
In my opinion, there is some celestial power that guides us and tries to show us the way. We are all broken in some way, this godly power acts as a light in our lives.
We are living in a world of unlimited wants. Our needs depend on person to people. For some, there is no difference between the two. As a result, there is a constant battle.
There is action beyond all of it. Without action, we are mere mortals in dreams. The anger, jealousy, and animosity we feel when we see others mapping their wants and needs will only stop when we take action.
The adverse side of consumerism is an abundance of unlimited wants. We can only quest it with our actions. And keeping wants and needs in check.
Time and again in life: your fundamentals will be questioned. You will be lured by money or power. What keeps your ground intact is your virtues.
Life is not a bed of roses but a battleground where everyone, with their own opinions, is running for their wants. Their reasons, motives, and purpose define their actions. Most are obsessed.
When you go out, put your opinion and it affects the beliefs of the rest: you will be hated. Their ego will not make you liked by them. They will be up at arms and wait for every moment to bring you down.
To live, to be honest with yourself, stick to your virtues. Hold your ground. There will be a few who will like you for who you are. In the end, that is what matters.
Being an outsider has advantages when it comes to building. The most important is not being limited to a specific SOP. You can build with new tools and techniques. You have no leftovers or baggage to take care of.
When you fail, you fail with courage and responsibility being all on you. There is no one else, no system to point fingers at. In short, you are independent like a water stream.
We talk about progress and wellness. Wellness can include wealth and health. It comes down to the individual.
We live in a society, a big tent. We have housed people with distinct backgrounds. Is only your wellness enough? What about the world around us?
Time and again, I have been asked what my ultimate purpose in life is. I simply say changing the lives of millions of others. I cannot be happy and live in peace if the world in is chaos.
We are still a developing nation. It provides us ample scope for progress. Our healthcare system, education, employment, and entrepreneurship, all require a major overhaul. We cannot let this for the government to fix. The private-public partnership, cooperative structure, and youth rural entrepreneurship have a role to play.
The progress of India is everyone’s responsibility. You can alone not live in the ivory tower and let the rest of the population die of hunger, poverty, illiteracy, or healthcare deprivation.
The country will end up in anarchy and the poor will eat rich. There will be a civil unrest.
In the early days of building taghash, I was way too desperate. Some customers made me run around them, giving me no business. I was sedated with an itch to build taghash to prove PMF, and as a result, many would not take me seriously.
It has taken 7.5 years in business to realize that those who like you, those who believe in you will return later. They will respect you for the hustle, but in the world we live in, we will not get fair treatment.
I am no more desperate, I know people will come to us if they have pain and they will pay. It is a pure business. I have to work hard, stick to my virtue, and build a profitable company that outlives me.
There are times when we have disagreements in business or personal life. It can be due to unmet expectations, communication gaps, ego, or anything else.
We are social beings. What differentiates us from other animals is our rational thinking. Disagreements need to be sorted out in a conversation, with both sides making a point of maintaining mutual respect.
Time and again we have seen our ego trumping over rationality affecting the overall greater good of both parties. All disagreements need to be handled with respect and in a cordial manner.
When you start from nothing, you know there is nothing to lose. What worse can you do? We live multiple lives with societal dogma upon us. The sooner we start living in this nothingness, the more independent we will become.
Our body is made of water and fat. Our consciousness defines us. Our will to live takes us out into the mad world and performs in the orchestra of life.
Someday, you would like to disconnect from the world and hide. It helps with thinking and gives you more perspective. These days are the ones that open your creative brain and make you think out of the box. I call it lazy days.
I want one or two days in a week to be lazy days when am on my own. I have been writing and reading frequently in the past. I feel due to so much travel, multiple timezone switches, and eating out, I am losing that creativity.
It feels like I have stopped thinking and living on some kind of autopilot. This is a cycle and I need to break it soon.
I feel as we grow old, the responsibility of growing up ceases independence. It can be from thinking, living, and being with oneself. You are tossed into a world with multiple egos to deal with, and multiple scenarios to tackle. In short, uncertainty to the max.
We need to ask what excites us and the team. Building anything is difficult. When you create something without a specific outcome, you need courage and belief. When we have a team excited and working together as one unit, all difficulties and challenges become easier to tackle.
Finding people who are excited about the cause trumps expertise and experience. Most get bored without direction or a light at the end of the tunnel.
You don’t need pessimists or sad-faced folks around you for salary, glory, or equity.
