7 Powerful Lessons from the Book "Skin in the Game"

By Nassim Nicholas Taleb

| Thread

1. "You will never fully convince someone that they are wrong; only reality can.

To be precise, reality doesn’t care about winning arguments; survival is what matters."

2. "Focusing on just words put us at a dangerous path since we are much better at doing than understanding. Doers win by doing and not by convincing."

3. "Don’t take advice from people who don’t have skin in the game, i.e., be aware of the person who gives advice, telling you that a particular action is good for you and while it’s also good for him or her. While the harm directly affects you and not him."

4. "You don’t want to win an argument; you want to win whatever you’re after money, goals, convertible car."

8 Powerful Lessons from the book "Antifragile"

1. The book is about decision-making under uncertainty/volatility.

- EVERYTHING either benefits or is harmed by volatility
- The FRAGILE is harmed (think a glass)
- The ROBUST is unchanged (think The Phoenix)
- The ANTIFRAGILE gets better (think The Hydra)

2. Via Negativa:

Removing is superior to Adding

- Less can be More
- Don't add, subtract
- Eliminate the Artificial
- Eliminate the Unnatural
- Eliminate the Unnecessary
Apply these in all areas of your life.
When in doubt, SUBTRACT

3. Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence"

Just because...
- you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there
- something is unintelligible doesn't mean it's unintelligent
- you can't explain something doesn't mean it's not important

-->Have HUMILITY

4. If you have more than one reason to do something, just don’t do it.

It does not mean that one reason is better than two, just that by invoking more than one reason you are trying to convince yourself to do something. Obvious decisions require no more than a single reason.

A quickfire thread based on a book I read recently titled " 80/20 YOUR LIFE " .

Disclaimer : This is MY interpretation & the ratio (80/20) is variable..
The essence here is to identify what matters & weed out the inconsequential & thereby manage time accordingly.

2/12
The #Pareto principle - 80/20 Rule is pretty well known & discussed in context of work & business productivity.
But it can also be applied practically in our day to day life in all possible aspects to ensure smooth sailing.
How do we do that? 🤔

3/12
Pretty simple actually !
Our Top priority goal must be a S.M.A.R.T goal aka :

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time based goal .

Everything is #time based as time saved can be used constructively for other purposes or even wasted happily ! :))

4/12

A large proportion of our output results from a small proportion of inputs . LEVERAGE SMARTLY !
*Cultivate a forward looking #mindset.
* Learn to #skim and #scan.
* Dedicate #focus & #energy to tasks that produce the greatest impact WRT our goals.
* #Unlearn often

5/12
*#TimeManagement*

Maintain a quality to-do list & a daily to-do list .Ensure high value tasks are mentioned first. Stick to it !
*Be realistic .
*Don't bite off more than you can chew.
*Under promise & over deliver at work to gain attention intially ( NOT VICE VERSA!)

10 Lessons from What It Takes To Be Free

(thread)

1)Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone
planted a tree a long time ago.

2) True freedom means you're not concerned with other people's opinions, views, and actions. You also don't have the need to explain why your ideas and actions are the best.

3)Remember, being free means to live as you are. You don't
have to lie about who you are, what you like, and what you
do. Just be yourself.

4)Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom
involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of
responsibility.

🌿𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 : 𝑫𝒉𝒓𝒖𝒗𝒂 & 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒖

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Prabhu says i reside in the heart of my bhakt.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.

One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.

Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
