@elonmusk @RadioGenoa Since the French Revolution, they’ve been eating “cake” instead of “bread”…Protesting against the generational insulin spikes and blood sugar levels I’d assume?🤔

Sure, ability to speak English shouldn't lead to elitism. Like it or not English is the global language of work+commerce; it'll only help Nepalis to become more fluent in it. Meanwhile pushing the heavily sanskritisized Nepali of the Khas Arya has only helped...the Khas Arya.

@Dull_guy25 @NepaliTimes @SoniaAwale Yes🙏🏼. I hope more hi-rises get their approvals, granted they fulfill basic safety points: Soil test, setback allowing fire trucks, onsite tested M30/40 concrete & Fe500D or similar ductility steel, along with technological innovations such as seismic dampers. NO cutting corners!

True. A lot of construction going on without approvals. ALL existing tall structures in Kathmandu (10+ stories) were designed prior to earthquake of 2015. After 2015, with new & stricter codes, only 1 high rise apartment has received ALL permissions from KVDA, DUDBC & Nagarpalika

@ExplorersWeb @BokClimber Since Tenjen opened the route, guided his client, did the heavy/dirty work, & made sure she summited- He, in fact climbed each mountain TWICE! 1 for his client & 1 himself. I see it as 28 8,000ers in 3 months! That to me comparable to the best climbs in history! Make him famous!

As much logistical feat as physical triumph, Harila and Sherpa have set a strange and difficult to reach benchmark in the world of high-altitude mountaineering. A summary of her 2023 quest to climb all 14 mountains in the world over 8,000m in record time: explorersweb.com/kristin-harila…

@SajjanRajVaidya Fake profiles on Twitter are negative about everything! They’re the overweight, pimpled-keyboard warrior types who never amounted to much🤣. No wonder, they’re frustrated & jealous toward anyone doing well in life. You’re doing great, so keep moving forward to shut them up 4ever.

@dagorenouf @neetimsina @logologydesign I applaud your honesty & willingness to share your ordeals👏🏼. Too many times we are only fed the glory & the “wins”. This has been a much needed insight into the REAL life of an entrepreneur. You won us over with your humility. Love from one entrepreneur (in Nepal) to another🙏🏼👏🏼

Dagobert - Corporate sellout 👔
My wife and I decided to give up on our startup @logologydesign It was a tough decision to make, especially after spending 5 years and almost all of our savings to bootstrap it. But the reality is that despite our best efforts, we never found a way to grow beyond survival profitability. Sure we had some wins, and I'm proud that we brought it to ~$3k revenue per month (+ $5k from my twitter course). But with the cost of living + running a business in France, it's barely enough to survive. And because our product doesn't have recurring revenue, we have to find 100+ new customers each month. This puts us under massive pressure. We thought of trying to switch to a recurring revenue model and invest in SEO, but with the uncertainty caused by A.I (both for acquiring customers and designing logos), we don't feel confident it would be enough. We could also try to raise money and hire a couple of people to offload some of the pressure... But after 5 years of fighting, we're exhausted, out of motivation, and out of money. So we decided it's better to call it quits 😞 I feel ashamed to not be one of the "successful founders" I see on twitter every day. I feel stupid that all the time and money spent wasn’t enough to make it. I also feel silly for celebrating that we reached profitability a few months ago... then a couple of months later it was already back below survival level 🤦‍♂️ I stopped tweeting this past few weeks because I feel like a loser and a failure. I’m afraid people will lose interest in me if I stop sharing motivating tweets. But at some point, I had to face the truth that I just can’t do it anymore. Last February I suffered a massive burnout. My heart rate started going crazy every time I stood up. I had to lay in bed for weeks and it was so bad that I thought it was long covid. Now I'm able to walk again but I need to take it slow and monitor my heart rate for random spikes throughout the day. The burnout also triggered a problem with my eyes. For the past month I get dazzled by bright lights like computer screens or traffic lights. Even just a sunny day is difficult to handle. I went to the eye doctor and they said spending so much time looking at screens without rest eventually damaged my eyes, and I'll need to wear glasses to see normally again. Destroying my health like this was not what I envisioned when we decided to bootstrap a startup 5 years ago. Our dream was to build a useful product, make a living on our own terms, and help other founders do the same. We were idealistic and thought having a good idea + working hard was enough to succeed. But competing in the crowded logo niche means that we struggled to make ends meet from the day we launched. We also made some bad strategic decisions which meant we had to overwork constantly just to stay above water. We didn't have time for hobbies, fun, or even romantic time with each other anymore. We spent every waking hour worrying about how to get our next customer. In the rare vacations we took, we couldn't relax because we kept thinking about it. Every. Single. Day. Somewhere on the way to chasing our dreams, we got lost. Instead of trying to live the life we wanted, we started sacrificing everything we cared about just to reach “success” at any cost. The burnout I had was a wake-up call that we can't keep going like this. The glasses I wear will forever remind me of the limits of my body. So that's why we're making this drastic change. My wife will keep the site running while she figures out what she does next. She might simply go back to designing custom logos like before, so if you need one just hit her up @LucieBaratte. (it starts at $3k but she's one of the best in the biz) On my end, I decided to go back to a job. I never thought I'd do this but I really need to put a stop to the crazy hours and constant financial pressure. I hope working on a product without having to worry about money will make work enjoyable again. I think someday I'll come back to building startups, but for now, I have no motivation for it. I need time to recover and live a simpler life for a while. Now even though it's a difficult time, there's one positive thing I'd like to mention. When I was at my lowest, dozens of friends I made on Twitter supported me. I exchanged DMs with many founders who gave me insights and perspective, and made it 10x easier to find a way out. Having followers is nice, but when I hit rock bottom and stopped tweeting, it wasn't worth much. However, the friends I made along the way had my back and it made all the difference. So I just want to say THANK YOU to all who supported me during this tough time. You truly are the best part of this journey 🥲 I'll be back with new tweets soon. Lots of lessons I want to share. Love you all 💙

@JoeyMannarinoUS Lived in NYC for 18 years and never ever had this occurrence (except after 9/11 when the entire Downtown under Chinatown reeked of smoke for weeks). The smog can’t be related to a wildfire at all, unless it’s burned down the whole of Canada.

Meet Gelje Sherpa. He was taking a private client up Mt. Everest when he noticed someone dying just 500 meters from the summit. So he ran over, wrapped him in a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen, put him on his back, and hiked him 6 hours down the mountain to safety. LEGEND.

@ChitrakarSanam 🙏🏼2 years minimum if Nepal Rastra Bank still behaves like an ostrich burying its head in the sand in the face of danger (although that old-wives’ theory has been unproven since). About time, they 1st take account of consumer & business sentiment before drastic monetary decisions.

@karma10zing The way that they treat and tag businesses is where the problem starts from. The issue got highlighted recently because of diminishing purchasing capacity and micro enterprises took massive hit, thanks to inflation. I assume this is going to stay longer, at least 1.5/2 years!
