An underrated red flag in a person is an addiction to being right. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

@Igl_Care applied for a new connection, there is no response, customer care number is always busy?

Yes I have seen average people do so well in life just because they showed up & executed. some very capable people instead did not excel because they stayed stuck. To 'Win' you must start ASAP even if you are just slightly ready!

Do the thing and move on. Don't give it any importance. Treat it like you're tying your shoelaces. Do you care how they look. No. The less importance you give it, the less pressure you'll feel. And the less pressure you feel, the better you're gonna do it. Remove the importance. And detach your mind from the outcome. Treat it ordinary. Indifference... that's the key. This small mindset shift will change your life.

I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit, otherwise they grow bitter with age.

Something I'm leaning into is doing more things out of pure interest and not necessarily always having an end goal or way it concretely "benefits" my career. Some of the best unexpected things in my life came out following curiosities (e.g. rabbitholes of bitcoin and ethereum)

My favorite quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear: "It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."

i actually think “surface-level” friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride-or-die. some friends are for the gym. some friends are for church. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. the deep conversations are for the 2–3 people closest to you.

Every trig function, one triangle, one circle. No formulas, just geometry.

most people read physics. few actually solve it. • you can watch lectures • read textbooks • understand concepts and still fail when faced with a real problem. because physics is not recognition. it is construction under constraints. 1000 solved problems in modern physics vy ahmad a. kamal forces you into the real game: → take a messy situation → choose the right model → apply the math → reach a result that either works or collapses again. and again. and again. after enough problems: formulas stop being symbols they become tools intuition stops being vague it becomes mechanical you stop asking “what is this?” and start knowing “what to do.”

While India struggles in cleanliness, civic sense, and rising crimes, foreign tourists admire the beauty, greenery and cleanliness of Punjab. The difference is obvious..!

The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things. Courage beats intelligence.

Harsh truth: Your inability to focus on one thing for an extended amount of time will hurt you far greater than your lack of intellect.

Embarrassment is the cost of entry to living a good life. No matter what you do, at the start, you will suck. You will feel cringe. And you will likely get criticism. That’s okay. Wouldn’t you rather try and fail and grow than never try at all?

You don't realize how lonely you are until the day ends and there's no one to talk to, no one you can text just to complain about your day or say, 'I'm tired.' Your phone is in your hand, full of apps, but no one you actually want to open. You have thoughts, feelings, little moments from the day that mattered, and nowhere to put them. So you scroll, reread old chats, type messages you don't send, and tell yourself you're fine... until the quiet makes it obvious you're not
