Naval: It's funny because right now there's like that dude, where's my flying car mean, which is like, we were promised flying cars, but instead we got, 280 characters, 140 characters, and there's some truth to that. But at the same time, We're going to get our flying cars.
17/

We have drones that are flying overhead. How long before those things are carrying larger and larger payloads, but carry humans all the way. Maybe not, but there's lots of other electric plane companies coming.
18/

We have electric cars, we have rockets. If you can look at like bird and lime and so on that electric scooter revolution, that's a bigger deal than people think.
19/

One of the big problems with a developing country like India is you just have horrible pollution and traffic. But you can see how over time that in the West, a lot of non-electric vehicles are being replaced by electric vehicles not because they're cooler or necessarily...
20/

...even energy saving & they're cleaner, they're being replaced as for performance and cost reasons.

And so eventually that will trickle down and you will see in India.
21/

Two stroke engine based, scooters that are very polluting will eventually be replaced by electric scooters or electric bikes, just because those will be the cheapest things and the easiest to maintain.
22/

Cuz there not a lot of moving parts and you don't have to stop and refuel them all the time. They're always ready to go, cuz you can plug-in them overnight.
23/

You're going to see that within a decade, a lot of these problems will start clearing up and this is kind of nature of technology to always keep up leveling. So it's fine to start where you are.
24/

Question by Harsha: Given the size of India, creator market, do you see tokenization visual goods working in India, especially long tail?
25/

Answer by Naval: Rear looking view on crypto has unfortunately set India back on this. And that does need to be further addressed. But, broadly speaking , I do think that digital, everything will work in India. UPI just going vertical on the charts.
26/

Yes, of course India is an important market and an important source of users, but I'm actually most interested in India as a workforce, right on the producer side, rather than the consumer side, because I think that's actually where the maximum arbitrage is.
27/

You have all these really smart people who are finally able to contribute on the global internet and get paid for it. And then on their side, you've got the folks who can outsource the work, or remote the work.
28/

Cuz you can put it over a season. So that is something where there's a trillion dollar arbitrage to be done there. So, India's market is important, but India's workforce is even more important.

Naval: The Boston ecosystem has always regretting that they've sort of lost these companies.

India has to make sure it doesn't lose as entrepreneurs. And the way to do that is to give them the freedom to innovate. Everyone should be an entrepreneur.
2/

Everyone has a phone should be able to get a job through the phone. There's one level beyond that, that comes after that, which is everyone has a phone, should be a creator for the phone. And that's what platforms are enabling.

Why you should define your fears instead of your goals | By @tferriss

In 1999, one day, Tim was sitting in his van, when he had decided to commit suicide.
And he went from deciding to full blown planning very quickly.

1/
2/

He was really close to death. The only reason he took his finger off the trigger, was a few lucky coincidences.

The element of chance scared him the most. Tim was very methodical about ways of managing his ups and downs.
3/

Many normal people may have 6-10 major depressive episodes in their lives, Tim had 50+, cuz he has Bipolar Depression.

The Complete Guide to Crush it on Twitter: Part-I

How to become great at Twitter, from writing to consuming to networking

By @david_perell and @mkobach
1/

Writing tweets has 4 things in common:

1. Compression: Make tweets as concise as possible.
Twitter rewards people who can take a lot of information and put it in a little bit of space
2/

2. No Spam: Don't use hashtags, they feel spammy. Do not tag 8 different people in your tweets saying "listen to me listen to me".

Write quality instead. Help make people smarter on Twitter.

The Story of Canva

How a 19 year old girl's vision took the company to valuation of $6 billion

A Thread
1/

It’s super-rare for a tech start-up to succeed and join the billion-dollar club, so rare that those that do are called unicorns. Graphic design platform Canva joined these ranks two years ago, which meant a huge income increase for its three founders.
2/

Filipino-Australian Melanie Perkins, Canva’s CEO and co-founder, has amassed a personal fortune of US$1.3 billion, making her the youngest billionaire in Australia at the age of 32

The way Indian society connects grades with intelligence is super toxic in long term.

I've heard many people say, "I was really intelligent back in school, idk what happened to me in college, I became really dumb"

1/
2/

Folks really start measuring their whole self worth only on the basis of their grades, not realizing how it's hurting them

They then get trapped in a loop; "I'm dumb because I score low grades" 🔁 "I score low grades because I'm dumb"
3/

And the byproduct of the this loop is, the person misjudging him/herself as someone below average and thus losing confidence and lowering self-esteem

This mentality then stops them from attempting anything extraordinary in the first place.
