Never discourage:
- A hopeful, dreaming child.
- A college kid who thinks outside of the box.
- An ambitious young adult.
- A start up founder.
All these are high potential humans.
Be a positive chapter in their life.
Or live to tell the world how you once knew them.

2 kinds of kids in this world:
1. Ones that believe that reality is the sum total of what their teachers & parents make them believe - Study, earn money, family, die.
2. Ones that stare at their own hands & ask themselves, "WHAT IS THIS STRANGE HUMAN EXPERIENCE?" - Seekers.

What I wish I was told in college:
Have the guts to shamelessly say "NO" to the rat race. Great professional opportunities can be found outside of "college placements". Choose promising opportunities over safe options. The world is greater than what your professors tell you.

The stronger your insecurity, the harder you will try winning an argument.
Be calm. Winning that argument will only feed your ego.
Not your belly. And definitely not your soul.

Don't mix deep thinking with overthinking. "Deep thinking" is you looking at your thoughts from an outside perspective. And maintaining calm while analysing further. "Overthinking" is self-harm. By believing in negative results/possibilities related to your thoughts. Be calm.

You'll ALWAYS choose your friends depending on your CURRENT MINDSET in life. But as we grow, we lose friendships. Time makes us change.
Change makes us want to be with people similar to us. Therefore, your friend circle is the most accurate depiction of your true character.

Your character is built when you are alone. You are:
- The books you read.
- The podcast you consume.
- The YouTube channels you subscribe to.
- The entertainment you binge watch.
- The people who you speak to over long phone calls.
- The thoughts when you meditate.

Your greatest inspiration should be the version of yourself that you want to be a year from now.
Not 5 years from now because you never know what life has planned for you.
Not 10 years from now because you never know what technologies will be introduced in this world.

You don't have to read books to be "knowledgeable".
But you must practice READING as a habit.
Blogs. Articles. Research. Wikipedia.
Reading is the fastest way to absorb large amounts of information.
There's a limit to how much you can gain from mere conversation.

Something that's helped me tremendously with my creativity & focus:
Increasing "silence time"
- Saying fewer words to express my thoughts.
- Meditating for an hour daily.
- Speaking to fewer people.
Try it. It will be like putting a pencil (your mind) through a sharpener.

Meditation & spiritual books are an opportunity to escape from the realms of destiny & intellectual-slavery.
Unfortunately most humans are deeply trapped within the cages of modern society.
Trapped to such a degree that even the concept of spirituality seems false to them.

Peace and calm can be your greatest weapons in the pursuit of success.
Do not destroy these weapons through hate, envy, overthinking and intoxication.
Live a clean, focussed life.
Witness greatness become yours.

The more your creativity brings you "success", the humbler you should become. Creativity is NEVER your own.
It is an outcome of your life's experiences, your genetics, your environment and above all, the universe. You are simply a channel for the universe to express itself.

An entire generation of humans will grow up and face heart disease in life.
Food delivery apps will be the main culprit.
Be careful not to be a slave to the "Order now" button.
