@thekaipullai Rightly said

Captain Vijaykanth made some ridiculously bad movies like Narasimha, Dharmapuri, which reduced him to a parody figure. This ensured we never gave enough recognition to this movie and this dialogue in particular. He identified our exact problem 25 years ago. Too bad we haven't resolved it yet

@sunnewstamil @COPTBM Include garbage, water and sewage trucks as well. Most of the traffic and congestion due to these vehicles and some even do rash driving during school timings

"The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging. And the most important thing to do if you find yourself in an overpriced market is to stop buying. There is no rule that says you have to invest every dollar the moment you get it. Cash is a call option on every asset class, with no expiration date and no strike price. Waiting for the right valuation is not 'doing nothing'; it is the most vital part of the investment process." - Warren Buffett

Want better results? Flip the question. Instead of “How do I succeed?” ask “What will make me fail?” Avoiding stupidity is often smarter than chasing brilliance.

You are not alone in feeling low or scared. Everyone feels like that once in a while. Pick yourself up and keep moving.

Are you a recent graduate in India, who can't find a job-- then listen:- 1) Structured jobs are gone (mostly!). You have better odds of career success, if you think of yourself as a 1 person company. 2) Think about where you can add "value" as a 1 person company. Value= help someone save time, earn money, reduce effort. 3) Start with the simplest thing you can do. For eg. if you have no job: Start learning video editing. Almost anyone can learn this. Get skilled at 1 skill. Spend 1000 hours on improving it: you will have a clear idea whether this skill is for you or not. 4) Then spend 100 days: building a client acquisition strategy. Just answer 1 simple question-- how are you helping your potential client? Give specific examples Your strategy Your results Post about it on Twitter, Linkedin etc. 5) You will get a lot of hate for doing #4. Do not worry. What you're doing is 100X better than begging for reservations, spreading hate, spreading corruption, schooling people on nationalism. You're actually doing something useful and productive in your life. Keep your head down. Keep working. 6) If you can move abroad, amazing for you! Do it in a heartbeat. With each passing day, this move will get harder and harder. Most importantly understand: that no one owes you anything. If you work hard (& with focus), you can change your life. You hold the power.

My manager asked how long it would take to fix the bug. I said two weeks. It took forty minutes. But now I have two weeks of buffer. That's called experience. Here's how it works. Every estimate I give has a multiplier. The multiplier depends on who's asking. My manager asks: multiply by 4. A VP asks: multiply by 6. The CEO asks: multiply by 10 and add "dependencies." Dependencies are other teams. Other teams are always slow. Even when they're not involved. Especially when they're not involved. Nobody checks. The bug took forty minutes. I fixed it Monday morning. I didn't tell anyone until Thursday afternoon. That's three days of buffer. Buffer is protection. Protection from the next ask. Because the moment you finish something fast, they ask for something else. Finish the bug in an hour? Great, can you also look at this other thing? Finish it in two weeks? Great, take the afternoon off. You earned it. I earned it by lying about how long things take. That's not how they'd describe it. They'd call it "managing expectations." I'm managing expectations. My expectations are that I don't want to work that hard. When I was junior, I gave honest estimates. "That'll take about two hours." My reward? Four more tasks that day. Then I watched the senior engineers. They said "end of week" for everything. Everything was "end of week." A config change? End of week. A one-line fix? End of week. A meeting that could've been an email? End of week. They were never stressed. I was always stressed. I learned. Now I'm senior. Now everything is "end of week." Or "end of sprint." Sprint is two weeks. Two weeks is forever. Forever is comfortable. Sometimes someone pushes back. "Can we do it faster? This is urgent." I pause. I look concerned. "Let me see what I can do." Then I deliver in three days instead of two weeks. I'm a hero. I wasn't faster. I was honest about the original timeline. But the compression makes me look dedicated. "He really hustled on this one." I didn't hustle. I just stopped lying for a moment. Strategic honesty. Delivered at the right time. After enough fake delays. The best part is nobody tracks this. Nobody says, "He estimated two weeks but finished in forty minutes." They say, "He finished ahead of schedule." Ahead of schedule. I set the schedule. I beat the schedule I invented. That's exceeding expectations. I'm exceeding expectations. My performance review says I'm "highly reliable" and "consistently delivers." I am reliable. I reliably estimate 10x what things take. And I consistently deliver. Right before my fake deadline. That's called being senior. New engineers burn out because they're honest. I padded my way to work-life balance. My manager asked why I always seem so calm. I said, "Experience." Experience means I've learned to lie about time. Professionally. With a straight face. And a buffer that could fit a vacation. That's engineering.

“The central illusion in life is that randomness is risky, that it is a bad thing—and that eliminating risk is done by eliminating randomness. In investing, eliminating randomness through high valuations merely hides fragility until the inevitable stressor arrives. Low entry prices embrace randomness productively. They provide the cushion that turns chaos into advantage.” - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Reading is different. Developing own insights is different. You can listen to different legends. Ultimately what becomes one's own insight or personal truth is important. Again even insights are subject to change. Good investors are always flexible. Buffett was completely against technology in general because he was unable get the certainty he was seeking. Apple at 7 PE made him change his mind, became both his biggest holding and the largest wealth creator. Be open. Be flexible. Have courage to change even if others criticise you.

@dmuthuk If I may ask, what made you to realize and go for low pe with decent growth stocks? I'm sure you must have read peter lynch even before buying stocks like titan, united spirits,etc. as you've been quoting many investing stalwarts for more than a decade now.

Usually multibaggers happen only if there is PE rerating along with earnings growth. So low PE becomes significant in wealth creation through stocks. If PE is very high, wealth can even be destroyed despite earnings growth, due to PE compression. Last decade, most of the investors return, that too for quality stocks, mainly came from PE rerating. Peter Lynch has given many examples where he made money in stocks purely through PE rerating. He would buy stocks for 3 or 4 PE. Earnings would be growing at 10% to 15%. Stock would become 3 or 4 bagger just by PE getting rerated to low double digits. When PE is already high, the earnings growth has to be near perfect, quarter after quarter. A small miss, stock would be brutally punished. In real life, this is extremely difficult. Only very few companies like HDFC Bank gave predictable high growth consistently for a long time.

“There’s a saying on Wall Street that you never get poor by taking a profit, but you never get rich either if you keep taking small profits. The big money is made by sitting on the big winners. And the big winners are the stocks you buy at 8 or 10 times earnings when the companies are capable of growing earnings at 20 to 30 percent a year for several years into the future. That’s how you get the ten-baggers.” - Peter Lynch

Knowing your weaknesses and limitations is the biggest strength. Thinking you are extraordinary, when you are not, leads to most of the troubles.

Real talk.
