Some #poetry for the weekend .๐Ÿ˜‡

A POOR LIFE THIS IS ...
(My take on William Henry Davies's classic )

A poor life this is , filled with selfies and numerous check in's ,
We make no time for those in despair , including our kin. +

#HenryWilliamDavies Image
2/6
No time to spare , or even share a few words of care ,
For those who need our time ,we gift them a solitaire .

No time to soak in the beauty of #nature and let ourselves free,
For we are too busy posing and posting , akin to a wannabe! +
3/6
No time to fathom what one ought to do with one's life,
For we all are preoccupied in proving ourselves right ;thereby causing others strife.

No time to extend a helping hand , but tweeting aplenty ,
For we all secretly wish to be labelled as a "cognoscenti". +

#POEMS
4/6
No time for our near & dear ones; a joyous conversation heart to heart, But surprisingly express #anguish when they depart.

No time to #compliment our loved ones , but plenty of time for strangers on social sites,
Bereft of humanity ,we lament and share rewrites!! +
5/6
Is this who we really are, or are we putting on a facade ?
I think it's time we give ourselves a good prod.

Agreed man is a social animal ,but our behaviour is despicable,
For unlike animals, we give the least priority to loyalty & utmost to tangibles +

#poetrycommunity
6/6
Probably that is why we know the price of everything ,but the true value of none.
And yet crave for everything under the sun!

A poor life this is , filled with selfies & numerous check in's,
We make no time for those in despair , including our kin....

A few important life hacks which I have implemented over the past few years that have helped me immensely.

A ๐Ÿงต
2/10
๐Ÿ”ธMaking Gratitude an Attitude

Comparison is the theft of joy.
Each day begins & ends with gratitude.

Now I no longer envy others.

I am content. I feel blessed for whatever I have & work hard & live life each day to the best of my ability.

That's all !
3/10
๐Ÿ”ธAccepting things & Letting Go

The older I seem to get, the more I have begun to let go.

Baggage weighs us down considerably.

All those thoughts,feelings, emotions we keep bottled up only hurts us.

So I try to reset each morning & travel light.
Certainly helps !๐Ÿค

#BookRecommendation
#BookSummary
#Investing

A book that must be read by all direct equity investors but will be appreciated & understood by a few, that too only after witnessing an entire cycle play out in markets.

Few of my takeaways from this ๐Ÿ’Ž by Howard Marks.

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ Image
2/30

To consistently beat the market,
You either need a ton of luck or superior insight & awareness of psychology.

Because investing is at least as much of an art as it is a science, it is essential that one's investment approach be intuitive & adaptive always.
3/30

All investors can't beat the market, since collectively, they are the market.

Stellar returns majorly come from correct non consensus forecasts.

Here Second Level Thinking matters immensely.
And the number of people capable of it is tiny.

We 80's kids are truly blessed.
Life was simple then !

We used to play until we were screamed at to return home.

We enjoyed our childhood without mobile phones & WIFI by playing a wide variety of games which improved our hand eye coordination,stamina & focus.

#Nostalgia Image
2/10

Weekends used to consist of watching episodes of Mahabharata , Ramayana,Mogli ,He Man and the likes.

We danced clumsily to the 90's Indi Pop songs & thought WWF was real.

We created so many memories with hardly any photos thanks to the 32 film roll. ๐Ÿ˜„
3/10

Small things like a top , marbles , a rubber ball , or even a piece of cake with some frosting ( there was no concept of black forest cake ) used to make us insanely happy.

We valued each & every possession of ours.
And somehow never craved for more ...

We were content. ImageImage

#DecisionMaking

How To Decide by Annie Duke.

A brilliant no frills book that offers a framework for thinking about how to improve your decision making , along with a set of tools that help execute it.

A few of my takeaways from this gem !
2/18
There are only 2 things that determine HOW your life turns out : LUCK & QUALITY OF DECISION MAKING.

We have some control over only one of those two things.

When you make better quality decisions, you increase the chances of good things happening to you.
3/18
Our objective is to choose an option that gains most ground in achieving our goals.
Sometimes which entails the least risk.

Thereby we examine the quality of the beliefs informing the decision,the available options & try to envisage the future based on our choices.

Do you know why most of us are majorly unhappy with our lives ?

Why do we constantly feel anxious or secretly envy others' life ?

Why do we feel unhappy despite having quite a few things going for us?

The answer is actually simple.... ๐Ÿ™‚

#LifeLessons

2/5

It's because we humans constantly COMPARE ourselves to others.

Comparison gives birth majorly to all our emotions, especially the negative ones.

So why do we compare our lives with those of others' we (think) we know of?

Why do we benchmark our happiness to theirs' ?
3/5
Ever wondered why we constantly crave to equal or better our peers ?

What purpose does it truly serve ?
Isn't everything in life fleeting ?
Be it fame , beauty , money , laurels ....

So does it really matter ?
And if so, then how much ?

And at the cost of what ?
