You don’t have to be best to get shit done. No matter what’s going on your life, you should believe in yourself. You know that you will be something. You don’t have to be spectacular. All you gotta have a confidence
Being part of bigger than You
Being part of something greater than yourselves sounds amazing. Schools, products or private membership clubs for all this motivation.
It gives you exclusivity. They are all saying you are one of us. Behave well and don’t go to others.
Club members know that the purpose of the club is a size limitation. The controlled group of members is stronger than mass.
Things & Events
We should collect events instead of things.
Carlo Rovelli said his book The Order of Time
“A stone is a prototypical “thing”: we can ask ourselves where it will be tomorrow. Conversely, a kiss is an “event.” It makes no sense to ask where the kiss will be tomorrow. The world is made up of networks of kisses, not of stones.”
No formula for everyone
You might heard a story “ A Guy/Girl from same city or school like you started a company right after the school. Or, your cousin got married and had kid before she was 30.
Society has expectation from every single of us. Your parents, friends even your neighbors want something from you. Most of the time, nobody asked you what you really want.
So, please ask yourself “ Is this something I really wanna accomplish” or “What’s the purpose of what Am I currently doing?
Our company vs Others
We are mostly very pessimistic about our owns than others. Most of the time, we do know every single detail of our business so we can’t easily be optimistic. However, when starting to learn other’s business, we turn more optimistic about their business.
From time to time, we should look at our business like someone else’s.
Your Body
“Even when you do nearly everything wrong, your body maintains and preserves you. Most of us are testament to that in one way or another. Five out of every six smokers won’t get lung cancer. Most of the people who are prime candidates for heart attacks don’t get heart attacks. Every day, it has been estimated, between one and five of your cells turn cancerous, and your immune system captures and kills them.”
The Body- Bill Bryson
Competitors
Competitors are great to push you next level. You shouldn’t obsess their every single product shipment or feature sets.
If you are chasing a big market, having multiple competitors drive innovation and better customer experience.
At the end of the day, we are not building products, we are solving customer’s problems.
Good managers focus on revenue and customers. Bad managers focus the team on how many features competitors are building.
Keep trying
Habits are great. Especially the ones it comes from natural needs. Sometimes it takes time to figure out what you really like.
Try new things and figure out what’s best suit for you.
Sleep
I feel that sleeping is still underrated. Every single of us might be heard: “ You don’t have to sleep too much” or “I’ll sleep when I die”.
I figure out good & quality of sleep can change your life. I almost read more than 50+ articles and a couple of books about sleep. My final takeaway you need to sleep a minimum of 8 hours of sleep to function your body and mind probably.
Have a good sleep:)
Read fiction book for the first thing of the day.
I have been doing it since last week. Pretty much, I do read 10 pages fiction book for the first thing of the day. It helps me to broadens my perspective and zoom out myself from the daily rush.
Don’t forget :
-
Don’t check your phone first thing on the morning
-
Keep your book by your bed. I do read before sleep too
-
Read-only fiction books. Avoid newspapers, blog etc.
