If you are someone who spends 8-10 hours on a computer screen every day, this is for you:
1. Take 2-3 breaks of 5-10 minutes and take a walk outdoors.
You will be less cranky, less lethargic and more productive.
2. Look outdoors every 30 minutes.
The pupils in our eyes do not get their exercise because they are always constricted on a screen, and hence, we feel tired.
Looking outdoors gives our eyes much needed exercise of change in focus, and hence, makes them at ease.
3. Use Pomodoro Technique
25 minutes of work. 5 minutes of break. Followed by a longer break after 3-4 such cycles.
There is no way your productivity won’t increase because of this.
More often than not, you can’t change the demands your work has from you.

However, you can demand the best of your health and inner peace from yourself, without compromising on your work.

You don’t deserve any less :)

I wish someone told me these 7 things, before I started my first job.
The last one hit me hard when I realized it!

1/ Because someone is good at their work doesn't mean they will become good managers.

Managing oneself is very different from managing others.
2/ You grow professionally by making your boss's life easier.

3/ What counts is 5 years of experience.
Not 1 year of experience done 5 times.

4/ Action >>> Thought
No one gets rewarded for "I had the same idea much before them."
5/The reward for standing by your promised word is immense.
Once you have made a commitment, no one should need to follow up on you.

6/ Jobs are not 9-5 or 10-6 or fixed hours.
Jobs are the amount of focused time you spend on it.

He transformed a $2M cooking oil company into a $25B IT giant.

In 2021, he donated $3M EVERY DAY to various causes

Story of one of the most generous BILLIONAIRES in the world, Azim Premji🧵
In 1945, M.H. Hasham Premji, the father of Azimji, founded Western India Vegetable Products Ltd.

They used to manufacture cooking oil under the brand name Sunflower Vanaspati.
After his death in 1966, Azimji left his studies in the US & took over the company at 21.

He became the chairman of the company, but the other stakeholders did not welcome him wholeheartedly.

It has become fashionable to startup today.

In the world of Shark Tank, everyone thinks they should start their own business.

Worse, people think that those in a job are losers.
They have sold their soul.
They have become part of a rat race.

That’s a lie.
A corporate job early in your career can shape you up meaningfully.

1. It gives you financial stability.
Something that most of us value immensely early in our career.
2. It teaches you the power of planning, of systems, of processes.

My first job in consulting laid the ground rules for how I operated later on as an entrepreneur.

It showed me what to do. And what not to as well.

We were hiring for a software engineer at nearbuy (my previous startup).

The candidate we really liked was working at one of the IT giants for the past 3 years.
His salary was 4.2Lpa

The HR manager asked, "how much should we pay him?"
"Why are you even asking?"

Because...
...as per the salary benchmarking we have, his salary should be 14.5L. That would mean a 3X jump on his current salary."

"And why is that a problem? How does his current salary dictate what he gets paid in a role that he's qualified for?"

"Because its not market practice."
I never really understood this phenomena of asking for previous pay slips, by companies.

To me, it is lazy and smells of an non-existent process to determine salaries in an objective manner.

We made the offer to the candidate.
He called assuming it was a typo.
