Feel free to make this a guiding tool to wade through your life. This certainly is my guiding light. It's a religion, a way of life for me...cast in stone on my pschye and my Twitter profile.

My guiding philosophy:

#Life is an perpetual flow of opportunities....I keep taking them without any inhibitions!

#LifeLessons

I am in full control of my life. I do everything in my life (even not doing anything) with full intent. I identify my areas of interests & passion. I evaluate whatever paths I can see at a given point of time and proceed towards what appears to be best as per my understanding...

at that stage. As I proceed, I look for feedbacks. I watch out for 2nd order effects, and make course corrections based on them - I either cut my exposure/efforts, or increase them. I do not crib or complain for my inability to foresee beyond a certain point.

Whatever little/large #success I have achieved in whatever endeavours I have picked, is a perfect reflection of my efforts and preparedness. I take full responsibility of all my Yins & Yangs. It is my continuous endeavour to improve my preparation levels.

I don't compare myself with anyone. I only compare myself with my yesterday self. The only person I try to beat is the man in the mirror....

I don't care if my car is bigger than a few & smaller than a few. I only care if my car today is bigger than my previous car & smaller than my next!

I only work on things that I can control. But I try to protect myself from both things that I can control as well as things that I cannot.

I work with loosely held opinions. I do not anchor myself to any strong opinion and rather let empirical evidences be a guide!

There's only one life. I measure my age not in terms of how many years I've lived, but how many years I'm left with to live. I prioritise the people & activities and focus only on Top-10. I don't squander my time on wasteful people & activities.
