Chase your dreams, life is truly precious, enjoy every moment of it. Travel, exposure, learn new things, make yourself strong enough to survive any storm. True love is loving yourself and working on yourself for your purpose for the people you love. We are just a speck of dust in this universe, be happy, change the things which you want to change, don’t be sad, never let anything to your heart nor to you mind, be same in all situations, enjoy the highs and lows of life. Always be truthful to yourself. Let go of the things or people which are not meant for you, go with the flow, put in efforts, you’ll be in content. There are lot of things in life which will not go your way, so be it, try try try & it will happen. Mindset is everything. Never lose that spirit. Find that chink the armour & double down on your strategy.

You only become stronger

You only become stronger in challenging circumstances and having consistency. Transaction always goes to the side whose conviction is higher. It might be bad day or week or month, never a bad year or bad life. You always have time to ratify mistakes and move ahead. Develop iron clad character, don’t let any chinks in your armour for someone to swing swords. Never be ashamed of what you have, how much you have, how you look, real strength lies in your integrity. Power always resides where you want it to reside. Stay consistent once you see progress, there’s no other high than that. By everyone is same, by practice they make themselves wide apart from others. Never be jealous and envious strive to overcome and better yourself. Believe in your capabilities. Make sure you stand by your ethics and principles come what may, your convictions will move mountains. Routine helps, habit formation helps, keeping deadlines for tasks helps. Asking for help helps. Always think long term. Develop the power of articulation and fluency.

And last but most important have disciple, you can have motivation at start. Thank you.

Time is our greatest asset.

As we’re mortals and we need to understand that the time we have in our hands is quite limited, our stay on this planet is very limited, and we are very competitive.
We need maximum output of every iota of input we put in.
We cannot play around and waste our time, the biggest waste of our time is procrastination and our unwillingness to start or complete any work.
No person is inherently perfect, he or she works on himself or herself and makes themselve more efficient over time.
I’m not against giving time for oneself or enjoying, what I’m talking about is whatever time we have in our hand into make sure all of that is used productively whatever time you have slotted for it. As humans our thoughts run from one place to another. And the ability to hold that one thought and do one task is very much appreciated, because by that you can focus on one thing once you focus on one thing you can better it and then you can see progress in it, and for this time is required with focussed attitude.
I always say, you change your attitude you change your altitude.
Do the tasks that you have in your hands, do what you can control, make that decision tree, and see what all is in your power to perform.
And do not fret over what you cannot have or control.
Use whatever time you have to work on yourself so that you and your family can have a worthwhile existence, work on things that make you happy that give you pleasure, work on your ambitions, don’t dream, set goals, accomplish goals.
I don’t fear what I’d tomorrow, I fear not utilising my time to its best capacity right now.
Over the time I have also realised having patience in tasks which are really important is a superpower. Having that sense of maturity in waiting for right time to take action is absolute important else if that task is done in wrong time it is not worthy.
Be aware where are you spending your money and time, by just keeping and account of this and working it out for its optimisation, you will be far ahead of others.
Have internal discipline to make sure you do not waste time, make sure your thoughts are aligned to your goals, and make sure your thoughts are aligned to your actions. Because in most times your thoughts are aligned to your actions, but we make the mistake of not completing that action, that is where we lack.
Always win through actions, and never through arguments, because if you put in action and give it time, the results will speak for itself.
Have confidence in yourself, if you have wasted time or not utilised time in its full capacity its okay start utilising from this moment on, the worst thing you cant do is think about why did you not utilise it to its fullest or how could have you utilised it to its fullest.
Push harder on each time, that is how we move ahead. If you feel burn out take some time off, rest, relax and go back at it.
Work on your weak areas, because if you work on your weak areas you will become better at it, I’m saying this because in the end you are as strong as your weakest spot. Aim for overall progress.
Never take decisions in haste, wait for it, wait for things to turn out completely, then take decisions, and this requires time.
When you understand the game you don’t panic.
Always aim to improve and it costs change its okay, to improve is to change, to perfect is to change often.
Knowledge is Power. Information is Powerful. Insights are catalyst of Decision making. And all is is achieved when you put in time and mind to work.
It’s not Game of Patience, its Power of Patience, because having it is super power, be it in any field such as decision making, compounding money or any other.
Don’t get comfortable thinking you have a lot of time, the truth is you don’t have.
I’m not saying sacrifice your sleep, but make sure whatever time you are awake make the absolute best use of it.
Human spirit is more powerful than any drug, at all costs, Preserve it.

Mental models provide insights into decision-making, understanding human behavior, and optimizing various aspects of life. Incorporating a diverse set of mental models can enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Certainly! Here are descriptions of 12 influential mental models:

1. Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule):
- Description: The Pareto Principle, often known as the 80/20 Rule, posits that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. This principle is widely applicable in various contexts, suggesting that a minority of inputs often leads to the majority of outcomes.
2. Occam's Razor:
- Description: Occam's Razor is a principle of simplicity, attributed to the philosopher William of Ockham. It states that, when faced with multiple explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest one is usually the correct one. It encourages avoiding unnecessary complexity and assumptions in problem-solving.
3. Model Thinking:
- Description: Model Thinking involves using simplified representations or models to understand complex systems or concepts. It encourages breaking down intricate problems into manageable models, making it easier to analyze and comprehend.
4. Circle of Competence:
- Description: Coined by Warren Buffett, the Circle of Competence is a mental model that suggests focusing on areas within one's expertise or knowledge. It advises against venturing into unfamiliar territory and encourages individuals to stay within the boundaries of what they understand well.
5. First Principles Thinking:
- Description: First Principles Thinking involves breaking down complex problems into their fundamental components and reasoning from there. It encourages examining the core elements without relying on analogies or assumptions, fostering innovative and original solutions.
6. Confirmation Bias:
- Description: Confirmation Bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor information that confirms their existing beliefs or values. This mental model highlights the importance of being aware of and mitigating the tendency to seek out or interpret information in a way that aligns with pre-existing views.
7. The Map is Not the Territory:
- Description: Coined by Alfred Korzybski, this model emphasizes the distinction between reality and our mental representations of reality. It encourages recognizing that our perceptions are subjective and may not fully capture the complexity of the world.
8. Loss Aversion:
- Description: Loss Aversion, a concept from behavioral economics, suggests that people tend to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring equivalent gains. This model helps explain why individuals often make decisions based on minimizing potential losses rather than maximizing potential gains.
9. The Dunning-Kruger Effect:
- Description: This cognitive bias, named after psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, highlights the tendency of individuals with low ability at a task to overestimate their ability. It underscores the importance of self-awareness and humility in assessing one's competence.
10. Second-Order Thinking:
- Description: Second-Order Thinking involves considering the potential consequences beyond the immediate impact of a decision. It encourages individuals to think ahead and anticipate the indirect effects of their actions.
11. The Law of Diminishing Returns:
- Description: This economic principle states that as one input variable is increased while keeping other variables fixed, a point will be reached at which the marginal increase in output decreases. It's a reminder that continual investment may not always yield proportional returns.
12. Hindsight Bias:
- Description: Hindsight Bias is the tendency to perceive events as having been predictable after they have already occurred. This mental model warns against the assumption that we would have accurately predicted outcomes in advance.
