This is what I learned and thought about the whole week and I’m sure this will make you think too.
If they do, that’s all I want from it.
I am sure everyone has a lot to teach you and you have a lot to learn but much of what you learn is what you teach yourself from your thoughts.
I am an avid believer that, if you can think it through yourself, it is way better than any expert teaching you.
I think we have started attaching outcomes to literally everything and a good outcome relates to a good process but as Jeetu bhaiya said, we should celebrate successful preparation, no matter the outcome.
When was the last time you did something with no thoughts about its outcome? For me, its the last time I played football a few months back.
Well am I writing this without the thought of the outcome? Maybe or maybe I want to feel good about writing a good article but guess we will never know.
I think about this line a lot. I kinda think there is no point to it all but you should do it regardless because if you completely stop doing everything, that’s gonna feel even worse.
As Krishna said to Arjun, “Perform your duty but know that duty assigned to you is by your soul and you are the non doer”
You have a right to perform your prescribed duties but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Crazy, ain’t it? but that’s what they say:
God’s plan.
I think the quote, “you are the average of 5 people you spend the most time with” needs to change to, “you are the average of 5 channels you listen to the most”
I try to detach myself from my smartphone but I fail miserably at times but I still do make a conscious attempt at it.
I think there was a quote somewhere, If you are using the product for free, you are the product and it’s insane when you think about it.
I think this line alone could be the basis of people management. If you want someone to be kind to you, tell them you love how kind they are to the waiter or to the dog. If you want someone to take risks on them, tell them you believe in them and that you are there regardless.
I think the greatest friend anyone could ever have is a person who knows your potential and helps you reach it because you can.
This has to be the most eye opening line i have read. We talk about the privilege of good food, good houses, good cars but what about the basic needs? Are we underestimating how difficult it is for people in different places in the world.
For context, this line is by a teenager in a war-ridden area. Its just mind boggling how less we know about the world and the people.
Again, I don’t know where the quote is from but its something on the lines of, “he who knows that he doesn’t know much, knows a lot”
what a beautiful line.
You and me and all of us, we think about reaching a point but what if the point is yet another point in the process so it doesn’t matter.
It’s not to say do not enjoy your milestones but it’s to say enjoy the mileroads that lead to the milestones.
Choose your suffering and suffer happily.
That’s all for today. If you read till the end, it means a lot to me!
Godspeed.
