22/04/2024 * Mark Manson on paradox of self awareness * Self awareness - good for underperformers (under stress/anxiety) , bad for who are already doing good * Therapy - good tool but frameworks like CBT etc. are all same, they are means to get you into a place where your thoughts and feelings can be critically analysed * You can even talk with your friend, no therapy is required * Or even journaling can help (much better way) * Consciousness - Arthur Schopenhauer * Involves two things * Subject - observer * generally, we are the subject of our consciousness * Object - whatever is observed * our thoughts or objects * When object is external, my impulses/thoughts etc - as a whole becomes “I”, this unexamined subject is often referred as the ego * When we turn the focus on ourselves (thoughts and feelings become the object ie internal) we are able to differentiate and put them into perspective * Self Awareness and Self Delusion * False Memory Syndrome * In todays age, folks are more self aware yet mentally not healthy * Self awareness is normalising the pathology and not pathologizing the normal * Advices * stop seeing discomfort or challenges as something to be solved or fixed. * anxiety, anger etc are all feedback - you dont always have to take the feedback * dont fix whats broken * get some physical activity

- Game Theory - Strategies that work in real life
- Investing strategy by Capitalmind - Four Quadrant Framework
- Independent thinking
- Independent thinking has long been associated with “Thinking based on first principle”
- Independent thinking need not necessarily mean being correct
- One just needs to be logical. Correctness should not be part of the measurement of independent thinking
- What independent thinking is not: Original thinking.
- Reduction in Emotional Capacity (difficult times) causes unability to think independently
- in turn reduced my ability to focus and diminished my patience
- It was a clear indication that when it comes to a subject that we care deeply about, we all have the ability to think independently and then make a decision that is right for us. To fully unleash this ability, the key is then to expand our attention, focus, and patience to other domains that are (or subconsciously perceived as) less pressing.
- Framework of Patience
- First she would be free of the emotions that come along with such a heated debate.
- Second, without being overwhelmed, she would be emotionally capable of breaking down such a large and complicated question into units of sub-questions through the simple urge to solve a puzzle.
- Self compassion
- if I do not soon find ways to attain equanimity, I would never achieve sustained happiness and success in life
- Meditation
- Being more present minded not only allows me to be more efficient, but it also makes me more patient. I am in much less of a hurry all the time and can think things through more clearly. Fear of being judged and worry of being wrong have both lessened since I now pay less attention to imaginary feelings in the future.
- Journaling
- Time allocation in the day. We are what we do regularly. Thus, monitoring how we spend our time on a daily basis is critical. A review at the end of the day gives us a chance to assess our use of the most limited resource and make changes accordingly;
- Emotional state of the day. Keeping a record of how my emotions fluctuate allows me to catch red flags of a bad emotional trend earlier; and
- Investment related ideas and learnings. In terms of the medium of taking notes, I find it easiest to do my journaling digitally. I have been using the app Day One, which I think does the job very well.
- Elder siblings have to deal with inexperienced parents, they learn a lot in the process.
- If you feel resistance before you begin, it’s usually procrastination and you need to get started.
If you feel resistance after you begin, it’s usually feedback and you need to make adjustments. - Wise words from Bill Miller on Investing

- You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So, we have to ask ourselves, “What’s in my cup?” When life gets tough, what spills out? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or does anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions come out? You choose! Today let’s work towards filling our cups with gratitude, giveness, joy, words of affirmation, kindness, gentleness and love for others.
- We project our insecurities onto others
- The adults will tell you to stop looking for the spark. To settle for stability and companionship. But I don’t think I can sit next to someone on the dinner table for the rest of my life talking only about my day. There needs to be unsaid communication. The sarcasm that doesn’t go unnoticed. The teasing that doesn’t stop. That chemistry that you can’t find from just a good resume.
- Key to having a good conversation: endless q-n-a mixed with jokes and stories
- Are you successful?
- It depends on the context. Success is not a state but a transition so you need a context.
- Most of the population are reacting to life, they are not living at all, are you?

- ELI5: Why wonât microwaving spoiled food make it safe to eat?
Yes, but eating some bacteria isn’t what hurts you. Your stomach handles bacteria every day, surfaces are covered with them. However, when bacteria and fungi have been growing for a while on food, they’ve eaten some of it and, well, pooped. The toxins they release after they eat are designed to kill things, like other microbes looking to “share” the food that the current diners have found.
Penicillin is the poop of the Penicillium chrysogenum bacteria fungus, released to keep others from sharing the bread P.C. is living on. (Fun bonus fact, a relatives Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium camemberti are used because we like the flavor their poop gives cheese.)
Enough microwaves to destroy these toxin molecules would virtually incinerate your food.

- Employees-First â Our focus on culture was maniacal. Employees came before customers and all other constituents. Everything we did internally was focused on our core values of positive, self-starting, and supportive. The ultimate reason we succeeded was because of our people.
- In the Path of Revenue â Our product unequivocally helped our customers make more money. We showed return on investment. We showed value. Our product helped turn marketing from a fuzzy role to a metrics-driven role.
- Must-Have Product â Our product was the core of the majority of the B2B marketing functions. If you ripped it out, many of the marketing channels stopped working (email, lead forms, etc.). It was not a nice-to-have.
- Complementary Co-Founders â Adam and I are very different yet complemented each other incredibly well. We knew our strengths and weaknesses and built an awesome organization.
- Focused Solution â Our product delivered the most value with the best experience possible at the $1,000/month price point. We were focused on providing the most bang-for-your-buck in the SMB market, and we executed well. This was especially important as our market was so noisy.
- You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.

- Why do women have longer hair than men in almost every society
- Interesting comments:
- I have noticed that societies in which long hair isn’t gendered tend to be societies in which male pattern baldness isn’t as prevalent, particularly in Native American, Pacific Islander, and Aboriginal Australian cultures.
Shorter/less ornate hair for men might be a cultural mechanism for normalizing something they are expecting to go through at some point in their lives. - It is interesting how many ‘high status’ hair cuts or even head wear either normalize or hide male pattern baldness. From the Jewish skull cap, to the tenser hair cut of monks, across to samurai styles to a laurel wreath that hides male pattern baldness, to ancient Egyptians shaving all their hair but having a ‘youth lock’ remaining that would also be shaved on adulthood.

- Make apology the most regular of occurrences.
- Remove all pride from your character.
- Regularly explore how you have disappointed one another. Let them sometimes hate you, and you them.
- Never describe them categorically as this or that. (i.e. âI feel like youâre being unfairâ, not âYouâre being unfairâ)
- Get good at sensing the fear beneath your angry moods, then express the fear gently rather than acting out the anger.
- Reduce expectations of perfection.

- There is a large variance in how much we feel we have to say about ourselves depending on who we are talking to. Some people make us feel boring, while others draw out our stories and observations.
- This happens because our unconscious minds are continuously evaluating how much the other person understands, appreciates, and can accept about what we are saying. Based on this, we conclude how much of ourselves we can safely reveal.
- People who make us feel we have a lot to say open many rooms in their own minds. They have explored complex, sad, dark, or potentially shameful parts of themselves. By being at ease with these things internally, they signal they will be at ease hearing about those things from others as well.
- We can become more interesting to others by traveling widely within our own psyches, opening doors to parts of ourselves we usually keep hidden. This shows others we will be a safe, receptive audience for their observations and stories too.
- By saying a lot to ourselves internally, we ready ourselves to have much to say in conversation with others. Self-examination builds capacity for intimacy.

If you’re like me, you’re probably afraid of commitment for fear of losing your freedom. The freedom of doing anything, of going anywhere, of being with anyone.
In one simple sentence he changed everything I thought I knew. Here’s the quote:
I would say that the biggest such change was when I was younger, I really, really valued freedom. Freedom was one of my core, core values. Ironically, it still is. Itâs probably one of my top three values, but itâs a different definition of freedom. My old definition was freedom to, freedom to do anything I want. Freedom to do whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like. Now I would say that the freedom that Iâm looking for is internal freedom. Itâs freedom from. Itâs freedom from reaction. Itâs freedom from feeling angry. Itâs freedom from being sad. Itâs freedom from being forced to do things. Iâm looking for freedom from internally and externally, whereas before I was looking for freedom to.
