Here is what I wasn't doing
1. Wasn't watching cricket (rarely do)
2. Wasn't reading/shooting/writing/thinking
3. Wasn't looking to create engagement on twitter :)
4. Wasn't working on Excel sheets or breaking FDs
5. Wasn't "doing epic shit!" (joke puraana ho chuka hai")

But...
This was a really really hard one...and no one got it right. It was something I haven't ever done before.

You will find out soon.

To be fair though, I will give away, not 1 but 3 Kindles. To 3 responses that caught my attention.

Ten 90-day challenges for your mind, body and soul.

A thread...
1: Structured thinking

Our mind is buzzing with thoughts.
But when we start speaking, we fail to structure them.

What is needed, is a way to pace our thoughts.

That is where writing helps.
Writing is the slowest form of expression.
When we write, we are not just thinking about what we wish to communicate, we are also selecting the most important thought from all other thoughts.

Write everyday for 90-days.
And always conclude with a "This tells me that ________"

11 truths about "How to find your passion"

A thread...
Truth 1:
You don't find your passion. You grow your passion.

Most of us feel dumb, because we can't seem to "find" our passion.

The key is to pursue multiple interests, the journey of which will help us discover the one thing that completes us.
Truth 2:
Very few find their passion early in life. Most find it much later, if at all.

The world convinces us that we should "pick" a passion as early as possible and then settle.

I think all of 20s should go towards discovering your passion.
Don't settle. Explore.

12 lies about life that school/college made us believe

A thread...
Lie 1:
Everyone should have the same pace of learning.

When you make students sit in a class, with a curriculum that has to get over in a year, before everyone is promoted to the next year, you tell everyone "learn at the same pace".
The standardization forced the fast ones to slow down, and convinced the slow ones that they are dumb!

The truth is - everyone learns at a different pace.
That doesn't make them poor or better learners.
It simply makes them different learners.

19 lies the world feeds us about jobs

A thread...
Lie 1:
You cannot become wealthy through a job.

Most wealthy people I know, became so because of having a fulfilling steady job.
We don't talk about them because we salivate on the startup billionaires, of which there are only so many.

Consistent Salary + Investing = Wealth
Lie 2:
You are unambitious if you are an employee.

A startup isn't for everyone.
I have met the most ambitious, committed, driven professionals who derive joy from their jobs. They would make terrible entrepreneurs.

It is this awareness that makes them successful.
