10 Top Lessons From the Book
"Chatter"

📚Book Review (THREAD)


1. Introspection is a double-edged sword

💭Introspection—the ability to observe one’s own mental processes— is a valuable tool for reflection and decision-making.

But rather than make people feel better, introspection often leads them to experience something else.

2. Chatter

🗣️Chatter is the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings that turn our capacity for introspection into a vulnerability rather than a strength.

If you can master the art of introspection without the chatter, you can get your internal conversations back on track.

3. Talking to yourself can be helpful

👉Many people wonder how they can control their chatter. One way to do so is to talk to yourself using your name and the word “you,” as if you were advising someone else, a technique called “distant self-talk.”

4. Distant self-talk capitalizes on this idea

✍️Silently talking to yourself like you’re someone else—using “you” and your own name—helps you take a step back from your experience and put your problems in perspective.

12 Top Lessons From "Deep Work"
A Book by #CalNewport

📙Book Summary (THREAD)


1. Deep Work

This is similar to the "flow" state that many psychologists references.

Newport defines deep work as, "the professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes your cognitive capabilities to their limit".

Deep vs. Shallow:


2. Only Four Hours

Newport states that you can only do about four hours of deep work every day.

This isn’t a matter of concentration or practice; it’s a matter of human biology and psychology.

Think of your mind as a muscle. You can Stretch it to the theoretical 4 hour limit.

3. Deep Workers Win

Deep work consistently provides better results & a more excellent portfolio of work than traditional labor and strategies.

Emphasizing deep work and doing all you can to make this time as productive as possible will yield fantastic dividends in the long run

4. The Maker is Becoming More Important

Newport suggests that culture is shifting to celebrate the "maker" or the deep thinker.

This trend is most visible within pop-culture and content creation as people find their unique voices and reach wider audiences.

17 Lessons From the Book
"Super Coach"

📚#DDBook Thread🧵


1. We think we are experiencing reality but what we are really experiencing is our thinking.

2. The most important choice you make is what you choose to make important.

3. If we really want something, there is always a way.

4. What we decide is less important then how we respond to life.

5. Our intuition already knows what we want to do but we create reasons to keep us locked out.

6. Every emotion we feel is a response to a thought, not an event.

7. Your day doesn’t create your mood, your mood creates your day.

8. When you feel a sense of urgency, it’s usually a better idea to slow down.

9. No Matter what seems to be going on, you don’t have to do anything. Being overwhelmed is just a thought.

10. Everything we do or don’t do is simply a choice. To do more, use a system of clarity, structure and boldness of action.

#ThePsychologyOfMoney by @morganhousel

It beautifully encapsulates , via chapters , the most under rated factor in investing - The Psychological aspect of it .

Do read the book :)

2/31
CHAPTER 1

What we experience early on (in our adult life) is more compelling than what we learn second hand, which is why each person thinks about #Risk & #Reward DIFFERENTLY.

In theory we SHOULD make our investments based on OUR goals & options available.


3/31

However we tend to include our unique experiences of how the world works (albeit with incomplete information) which might seem crazy to others .

* Spreadsheets cannot replicate human emotions which is why no amount of studying can make one truly UNDERSTAND the underlying.

4/31
CHAPTER 2

#LUCK & #RISK both play a role for EVERY outcome along with individual effort. At times making a greater impact than the consequential actions taken .
This we ought to remember when judging others' financial success.

Not ALL SUCCESS is due to hard work.


5/31
Likewise, NOT ALL POVERTY is due to laziness.

To learn from successful people, we must focus on BROAD PATTERNS & not on specific individuals ( for we often tend to just study extreme cases at both ends of the spectrum. )

It's never AS GOOD or AS BAD as it seems !!

10 Life-Changing Lessons “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu

⚡️Book Thread⚡️


1. “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and When you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”

We should devote a significant amount of time to planning.

But remember, without solid action, a plan is just a plan, and nothing more.

2. "There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination, they produce more hues than can ever be seen.”

It’s not about the number of tools you have, it’s about how you use them.

3. “If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.”

Focus is important in order to succeed.

Concentrate on key areas of improvement, and don’t try to be everything and anything at once.

4. “There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.”

We shouldn't wait forever to tackle our problems

We should make progress toward our goals as soon as possible

Demystifying Ghazwa-e-Hind. A #thread.

A recent video of Shoaid Akhter surfaced in social media creating a lot of controversy where the #Pakistani Cricketer can be seen suggesting invasion of India by using the term Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Radicalization of sportsmen seen off late
(1/10)


Some radical Islamic preachers believes that Ghazwa-e-Hind means a “Holy War against India”. As per this irrational & profane concept, there will be a fierce battle to secure victory over #India.
#Kashmir
(2/10)


#Pakistan-based terror groups, like JeM have been using Ghazwa-e-Hind as a Hadith to recruit, fund and justify its terror strikes as a religious holy war against #India.
#Kashmir
(3/10)


Some machiavellian people claim it is a prophecy that Muslim warriors will wage war against the #India.
Jaish & others falsely propagate that Jihad against India is considered holy in Islam & that those participating in it will be granted an easy entry into paradise.
(4/10)


However prolific scholars says that this is a made-up interpretation of some verse in The Holy Quran to mislead the gullible youth of #Pakistan into picking up arms and fighting its Army's personal battle against #India.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

🌿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.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


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"
