What makes an entrepreneur great?

“You’ve got to win!” “You’ve got to be the best student!” “You’ve got to be the smartest!” “You’ve got to be the fastest!” That’s the mindset we all grew up with —  Winning! From birth, our parents’ mission is to help us succeed. Our culture expects us to win. Tough criticism attacks us if we don’t win. Tell me, what if you DON’T win? This winning obsession is now your biggest nightmare. This is what holds you back and what you need to overcome to get started in this entrepreneurial journey. Ironically, to win in entrepreneurship, you need to learn to deal with failure. Entrepreneurs learn from failure. So, what should you learn before you become an entrepreneur? To tolerate failure. Not learning to fail will leave you vulnerable to anxiety, make your life miserable and will lead to emotional breakdowns whenever the inevitable failure occurs. Entrepreneurship demands you try new things and make some risky decisions. Not everything will work —  and that’s okay

Top 1%

Shockingly just 26 people control 50% of entire world's wealth.(Now rumoured to be 14) A lesson which I learnt is that poverty is a disease. We should not have a middle-class mindset. Top 1% of the world controls 99% wealth. Do you think that is an accident? It is no accident, it is designed this way. They understand something, they understand the way world works. They focus on systems and people.  That is why they are the movers and shakers the world has.  The number of billionaires owning as much wealth as half the world’s population fell from 43 in 2017  to 26 in 2018 . In 2016 the number was 61. Among the findings of the report, by The Guardian, were: 💡In the 10 years since the financial crisis, the number of billionaires has nearly doubled. 💡Between 2017 and 2018 a new billionaire was created every two days. 💡The world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon, saw his fortune increase to $112bn. Just 1% of his fortune is equivalent

Do you hear my song?

I am the songbird within Do you hear my song? My song is the yonder sky, the prestine enchantment. Where I fly fearless and free, beyond the horizon of fancy. Do you ever glimpse such highness? Do you hear my song? My song is the ocean of calm, bottomless and profound. Where supreme silence prevails, away from the play of the waves. Do you swim in such stillness? Do you hear my song? My song is the mountain of bliss, magnanimous and resolute. The pleasant breeze awaits thee, aloft the sultry summer of the valley Do you climb such eminence? Do you hear my song? My song is the poem of love, love that is noble and tender. Where the immense, kind embrace, touches one and all. Do you feel such abundance? Do you hear my song? I am the songbird, so are you, and is not my song yours too? I sing of the eternal songbird, do you hear my song?

Solitude

No matter how evolved we think we are, when we are caught up in a terrible tragedy we don't just sit around wondering what lessons we can learn from it — we are just simply holding on for dear life, hoping we can survive. Tragedy arrives in a blur, often accompanied by hopelessness, feigned calm and a fog-like numbness that feels like a surreal dream. The last thing we may need when in moments of tremendous trial is empty reassurances that everything will be ok. Often, it most certainly will not be ok. What it will likely be though is different, and you will be different too. It's better to just accept that things aren't ever going to be the same again. As for all the lessons, sometimes we need a break from learning lessons. Sometimes we just need time and space alone; we can always learn later. In the crossroads of a painful crisis what we always need is a moment to breathe, pray and accept our fate with dignity. This is how we steady ourselves against the great trials of

Live another day..

In 10^1 years your pet probably will be dead. In 10^2 years you will be dead. In 10^3 years your grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-kid will be dead. In 10^9 years Earth will be dead. The oceans will boil away, the Earth will lose all water to space, and everything on Earth will be dismantled by then. The Earth will become red-hot, and mountains will begin to melt. In 10^10 years the sun will be dead. Changes in gravity will cause the planets in our solar system to collide with each other and eventually fall into the white-dwarf of the dead sun. In 10^11 years the Milky Way will be dead. It will collide/merge with the neighboring galaxy, forming a single galaxy called Milkdromeda. The neighboring galaxy called Andromeda is approaching our galaxy at a speed of 110km/sec. Milkdromeda will eventually die, forming a unfathomably massive black hole. In 10^15

How do you handle grief?

Thanks, grief. Thanks for making depression look like the buzzing little bully it always was. Depression is the tallest kid in the 4th grade, dinging rubber bands off the back of your head and feeling safe on the playground, knowing that no teacher is coming to help you. But grief?  Grief is Jason Statham holding that 4th-grade bully's head in a toilet and then fucking the teacher you've got a crush on in front of the class . Grief makes depression cower behind you and apologize for being such a dick. If you spend 442 days completely focused on ONE thing you can achieve miracles. Make a film, write a novel, learn a language, travel around the world. Fall in love with someone. Get 'em to love you back. But 442 days at the mercy of grief and loss feels like 442 years and you have shit to show for it. You will not be physically healthier. You will not feel "wiser." You will not have "closure." You will not have "perspective" or "res

The Banyan Tree

In the 15th Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita- Lord Krishna compares the material world with a Banyan tree. Lord Krishna starts the Chapter 15 with this Verse, श्रीभगवानुवाच | ऊर्ध्वमूलमध:शाखमश्वत्थं प्राहुरव्ययम् | छन्दांसि यस्य पर्णानि यस्तं वेद स वेदवित् || “Sri-bhagavnn uvaca Urdhva-mulam adhah-sakham asvattham prahur avyayam chandāmsi yasya parnani yas tam veda sa veda-vit The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: "It is said that there is an imperishable banyan tree that has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.” In this section of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna is talking about material world, how a living entity gets entangled in the material world, the spiritual world which is the actual source of the material world and the need for developing detachment.  The analogy of a Banyan tree is used to show how the material world is a perverted reflection of the spiritual
