control your state of mind - keep it in the present moment..... you can do anything.. fuck everyone.
Nobody understand the brain completely. Nobody knows what it can achieve. It is just a matter of testing. You build a hypothesis, make an experiment and fucking do it.
Nobody is better equipped, when it comes to testing the limits of the brain. Everyone has one, everyone can know their current state of control.
I love you my brain. But as it turned out, it is just a habit forming machine. I have control over which habits I want to build.
Current experiment - build a habit of keep the brain in the present moment.
Keep Smiling

Always learn experimentally
You can hardly base your life on the basis of someone interpretation of life.... you got to test it experimentally and only then believe.
LEARN EXPERIMENTALLY ... there is no other way..........people are simply lying.

Use self control to do what your heart says..... the end.
By definition, you are having a good time if you are able to do what your heart says. I remember someone saying, its not about the goal ; its about the journey. Hell YA!!!
It is about the journey, that means one should only focus on what our heart wants us to do.
I promise you.... you are going to love every minute of it. Be it a difficult task or a simple one... it simply does not matter. Do what your heart says.........Always.

without a purpose ... you will loose interest in it.
I love learning and applying new knowledge. But, it has to be under the purview of me trying to solve a problem.
the problem has to have a definite period of execution and I should feel a little sense of urgency.
It does not matter how interesting, you will loose interest in it.
there has to be tow to type of goals ... long term.. the north start that guides our life and the short term goal.. the sun that comes and goes every day.
keep the north star in your mind but work for the sun, this will keep your life interesting.

Be truthful to yourself and surround yourself with people who are truthful to you
Just had an awesome party with two of my friends.
I always say that intensity is more important that frequency of the human relation.
People who you trust and people who trust you could help you in getting to the reality of the situation when your vision is under a clout.
World - you may have any resource ... you may have reason to destroy me and what I want to do.
BUT
I have a simple thing on which I am basing my entire life - self control.
Lets see who wins.

one consistent theme, I have been lacking as a non silicon valley entrepreneur is MEASUREMENT
somebody said
If you can not measure it,
you can not change it.
I AGREE.
I am deciding to measure everything I do with some fun in doing it.
Measure everything, make it a habit.
Then apply the power law curve and focus on one and only one metric in each category.

What makes you an outlier?
Disclaimer- you do not have to an outlier necessarily, but if you want to do anything substantial.... you have to think of ways to be.
I will soon write a big article on this.

HUMANS - blob of muscles ( we can change it... the way we want... you gotta have self control to do that)
Ever since I was a small child, I did not have much interest in learning what anyone wanted me to learn. Instead, my interest has been to learn how to learn. The day you understand it, everything is just a matter of perseverance.
I think now I know how to learn.
Good things are coming.
keep smiling
deep breath.

control your breath
I think the only way to control you metal status is through our breathing. It is the only process that directly controls out mental status.
I was good at controlling it. Now, with self control I am trying to get hold of my breath again.
Take long and deep breaths

Learning something in an uncharted territory
When you are in an unknown territory, where nothing makes sense. Try to find a piece of information which is objectively correct. I mean something that is truth in than unknown territory and your previous set of knowledge syncs with that piece of information. Do not try to make sense of it all, because you will inevitably fail. By definition, an unknown territory means you have no idea about that world.
Do not ever get tensed, do not ever give up.
Objective reasons to do the above:
1) the moment you find that truth , you can start building everything around that piece of knowledge.
2) You know no matter what happens from now on, at least you have one thing that is truth about it.So yo have already defeated the complexity, by finding something true about it in nature. Now it is just a matter of perseverance.
Wherever anything will not make sense,you could easily come back to this fact of nature and build you hypothesis from there.
I do not want to imply that doing this is easy. But, it is way better than trying to make sense of something that you have no idea about.
I will add more to it...
I remember donald knuth saying something similar. I am trying to test his procedure, if it will pass ; I will incorporate it in life.

be in the present... never go for potential... go for current reality.. you will be happier in the long run.
I had learnt to control my self in my childhood. It led to me forcing myself to be in the present moment. Only in the present moment.
Somehow, I lost that as I was growing up. I can tell you there is not a bigger perpetual pain than this.
Ohh my brain, this is a lesson for you. You deviated from you ability to focus all your attention in the present moment and we both had to suffer intolerable pain. Lets promise each other that we will never allow do it again.
It had been a long experiment.
But results are conclusive.... I can say with utmost surety, One should always live in this moment.
No benefit saying kaaash for the past,
No benefit saying shayad for the future,
life is life,
live it in this moment.

Emotion make you work
Emotion gives you power to work when you are walking alone. Love directs your efforts when nothing make sense.
When you will be alone and will be asking yourself, why did you do it?; if your answer is not emotional, you will not like it.
The journey of live will anyhow be gone. You love your time or you hate your time on the planet. Anyhow, it will be gone.
You have to decide how you want to live each moment. Choose what kind of work and people do you want to keep around you. Time does not stop, will never stop.
Live each moment as if it is your last, it could really be.
Give your heart and life to the work you are doing.
Just give your life to whatever you are doing right now. Make sure that your brain knows, this moment will never come again. This period is unique, will always be unique.
Do not let others interpretation of life, mess up with your world view. NO ONE HAS THE TRUTH.
Nobody knows the truth. If you feel like doing it, just do it. NO IF, NO BUT, NO KASH, NO SHAYAD.
NO MATTER WHAT KEEP SMILING... LIFE IS LIFE.
NO MAR

Never hurt the weak
I had a policy of not hurting the weak.
That is not what power is meant for.
Power can be utilized as you see fit.
Lets use all my power for self improvement. It is the most challenging task that I have ever done in my life.
I love it... the harder it is the better.

Do you love the problem so much that ................
This is a beautiful way to ask ourself about how far are we going to go.
How far will we be ready to suffer for the challenge we are trying to solve?
How much pain are you going to bear?
Life does not give you what you want, you have to take what you want.
People lie when they say universe will conspire to give you what you want. It never happens, a lot of hard work and persistence goes into getting what you want.
Let the whole world be on one side and me be on the other, because I love the challenge.
Do you love the problem so much so that......................................
All the best
Be chill and work your butts off!!

If it is not in my calender.... I am not going to do it.
My brain has told this to me ... a gazzillion number of times.... that if I do not put it in my calender, just forget it.
It will not be done.
No matter what it is.
When I was growing up... this is how I had programmed myself. It has been stuck with me. It makes you really disciplined.
It compels you to use your time( the only real asset we have) in the most judicial way.
There is a huge dichotomy between what our brain wants to do and what our body does.
Our brain has to find ways to make the body do what it wants.
Having it written somewhere outside to see and push ourselves is vitally important.
It will not be done.

Put yourself in a vulnerable situation
By definition, if you are trying something.... you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position. People could make fun of your mistakes, others could demean you, you could go in depression, you might never try again because of the fear of failure...... Yes all these possibilities are True.
But what if you just kept on doing what you want to do, irrespective of what people say.... what if you consider dead, all the people who are mocking you without putting effort to understand what you are trying to do.
what if none of those people never existed .... anyhow sooner or later this is going to be true.... so just keep walking your path.
after a few tries, vulnerability vapourises. As if there was an invisible hand that used to stop you before, which slowly seize to exist. But getting to that point is not easy, it takes courage.
Contrary to most people's opinion, intellect has a very limited role to play in our lives. But the irony is that entire system is designed to check for your intellectual ability, instead to check your real power to take decision and stick with it.
Be vulnerable ... keep making mistakes.... keep learning.... never let an opportunity of leaning something important to you slip away. I can assure you ..... after a few painful years of perseverance ... you would be glad you did that.
Be vulnerable..... be chill
Whatever doesn't kill you.... makes you stronger!!!

Chill
You have to learn how to be chill............. no matter how many problems you are facing... the only way you could solve those problems is by prioritizing and solving each one of them one by one.
The problem is - when you are in the heat of the moment, your innate reaction is to stop the problem you are focusing and put your attention on the new one... which leads to disaster.
Have a list of problems and prioritize them.... fuck them all but one after another. Your brain is designed to focus on only one problem at a time.
Most important ...don't ever forget to chill.... the more chill you are, the better will be you decisions.
I have concrete proof for the aforementioned.
CHILL!!!

Constraints - Cherish them... make magic out of them
Let me explain...
In my head,there are two worlds:
1) the idle world
2) the real world
Idle world - no limits ... no constraints ....no biases... no human shit... pure creation
real world - all of the above accept the last.
real world is always filled with constraints , with limitations.... with problems that one could have never imagined in the idle world.
In a way, all life seems a struggle to get the idle world to meet with the real world. To see our mental creations in the real world.
We humans ,being smart as we are, have devised measures to protect ourselves from the infinite continuum of thoughts. Measures such as prioritization, time management, interpretations of how systems work, tools to surpass limitations.
The more I learn the more I see this continuous struggle between the idle and the real.
It is as it should be, if everyone could convert every idle world notion one had in their brain; it would have been very difficult to sustain this beautiful life.
It is a mark of strength and courage, when one sees ideas taking shape in the real world.
Nothing happens automatically, you can be sure someone worked for the thing you have in front of you.
It does not matter how small you begin, but if you inculcate a habit of converting idle world notion/thoughts in real world things ...... by the time you would die, you will have contributed a lot to the human race.
Do it because you want to do it. Period

only thing important to me ---- you fulfill your promise
I don't care about how much you know

I don't care about how old you are
I don't care how cute/rude/antisocial/social/harsh/polite/ fucking anything
I don't give a fuck about your existence even..... sorry , but that's true
If you can't keep your promise.... you practically don't exist for me.
Keep your words.... otherwise FU.

Getting a REALITY CHECK....
Too many people have beautiful ideas but the fail to get a reality check, they fail to get their glass house shatter by reality.
The sooner you get your glass house broken .... the more you will learn in the long run.
If learning is your mission..... then there is no better alternative.
FUCK YOU and YOUR IDEAS!!!! ..... IF YOU CAN NOT MUSTER ENOUGH COURAGE TO TAKE IT TO THE REAL WORLD.
No BS stands a chance in front of brutal reality.... No BS about what could be or what the idea could avhieve.... if you did not read it up there... let me repeat
FUCc YOU and YOUR IDEAS!!!!

know yourself , be yourself, be real otherwise I will fuck you.

Delima - should build the product myself.... or hire someone , so that I could focus on business building
I am choosing to build the product myself.
This is important , because I always wanted to code and build stuff with my own hands. I might start delegating the work after it has traction. But , right now I want to build it.
I love coding....even though I have limited capabilities in it. But then, who the fuck was born with knowledge of any thing.
It is vital for me to learn as I build the product. Yes, it will be difficult ; but then, everything is difficult.
I love solving problems.... and I am taking this as another problem to solve.
Keep it
Keep smiling
