Most successful operators in various managerial businesses and roles where they influence changing lives of many are careful about one thing.

Passion
We are living in an era of unlimited passion. Our society teaches us to be passionate about work, life, and whatnot. There are authors, YouTubers, and short course content creators living their life by guiding you to define your passion. In short, we are living in passion porn. Our life is not a race where …
brag
I find it sad and disheartening to see founders of modern-day startups bragging about themselves and their brands non-stop on social media. Your teams and customers pain-build companies, nothing else. That is where founders should spend time on. This unnecessary glory or stardom is short-lived. We are seeing the fall of companies in this current …

perfect
We are not perfect. We all have flaws within. The sooner we accept it, the better becomes our path to improvement. Some egoist people don’t accept criticism or try to learn from their mistakes.

Community
Community is about togetherness.Community is about acceptance.The optics of the community has changed.It has become agenda driven. It is more about selling than nurturing. I got lucky that the 2006-07 Linux user group took me under their wings. I don’t know where I would have ended up now.I made friends and mentors like Karunakar, Vivek, …
run
We are on the run.The infinite chase of wants. The more we do, our goal post increases. Also, as we age, we realize all we did was endlessly run instead of living. Our society embeds its guiding principle in us, fuelled with the saliva of capitalism, where everything comes down to wealth. Our existence becomes …
FOMO
In a digital age, we tend to fall into FOMO. Who will not crave for European vacation seeing friends’ Instagram posts? As a founder, the game goes to the next level. Your success becomes the VC money you raise, media mentions, or coming to the Forbes list. We are all animals. We suffer from jealousy …
