10 Insightful Lessons From the Book “Ego is the Enemy”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

1: Your worst enemy lives in you

It is true that all of us, with no exemption, harbors a certain level of pride and ego.

Since pride is in us, it is either we feed it or starve it.

👉How you deal with your pride makes the big difference.

2: Manage your pride

As soon as you feel you are becoming egoistic, boastful, and proud – you can tell yourself to stop.

👉Instead of directing people’s attention to you, choose to direct attention to others.

3: Pride tells you to talk, humility tells you to listen

Ego encourages you to lift yourself and base your worth on nothing or false worth.

On the other hand, humility tells you how important it is to listen to people.

👉So, we listen twice as much as we talk.

4: Become a student

Ego tells you not to listen to anyone. As a result, you stop learning. You stop growing.

So, if you want to keep on learning, learn to be humble first.

✅That’s how you become Great.

10 Life-changing Lessons From the Book “The Art of the Good Life”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

- By Million-selling author of The Art Of Thinking Clearly

1. Peak-end Rule:

You remember the high point and the end point of your holiday, but the rest is forgotten.

👉Remind to make them as sweet as possible.

2. Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.

A good life is not a stable state or condition.

👉The good life is only achieved through constant readjustment.

3. Inflexibility as a Stratagem

When it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage – it’s a trap.

👉Use radical inflexibility to reach long-term goals that would be unrealizable if their behavior were more flexible.

4. Reality Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings

👉Accepting reality is easy when you like what you see, but you’ve got to accept it even when you don’t – especially when you don’t.

12 Top Lessons From the Book “ Rework“

📗Book Review

1.Mistakes and Learning

📝Learning from your success will always tell you what to do next, therefore it is important to understand that failure is not a prerequisite to success.

👉🏻When you learn from your mistakes, you learn what NOT to do.

2.Don’t let the past drive the future

❌You have to learn to go in new directions, because that is what suitable today.

✅ If you break your tasks into smaller tasks, you are much more likely to be accurate, compared to estimate something big.

3.Premature Growth means death

🌐See what feels right, small companies wish they were big, and big companies wish they were more agile.

❗ Premature growth is a death point, don’t grow for the sake of growing.

4. Don’t be a Workaholic

🗝️Workaholics create more problems than they solve. If you always work hard you don’t know what are considered to be real problems.

❌ Work hard when required, not all the time — you will burn out.

12 Best Quotes from the Book “The Obstacle Is the Way”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

1. “Whatever we face, we have a choice: Will we be blocked by obstacles, or will we advance through and over them?”

2. “There is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means.”

3. “Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power.”

4. “Our perceptions determine, to an incredibly large degree, what we are and are not capable of. In many ways, they determine reality itself.

👉When we believe in the obstacle more than in the goal, which will inevitably triumph?”

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

Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.

But contrary to what you’ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.

THREAD: 20 lifelong learning habits you can start developing today.

Stimulate Dynamically

The mind is a muscle - it needs to be stimulated dynamically to continue to grow.

Don’t rely on one “exercise” - develop a menu of options.

Write, read, listen, watch. Solve puzzles, play games. Enjoy it!

Stimulate dynamically, learn dynamically.

Build Learning Circles

The most powerful learning is communal, not individual.

Build learning circles with other intellectually curious minds.

Engage regularly with no set intention or goal.

Community is everything. Embrace it.

Keep Asking Why

“Why?” is the most useful tool in our learning toolkit.

But somewhere along the line, we are told to stop asking why and just accept “facts” as we are told them.

Reject the norm.

If you want to understand the world, take a cue from our kids - keep asking why!

First principles thinking is a powerful mental model for driving non-linear outcomes. It also requires a willingness to ask difficult, uncomfortable questions.

Here are a few to help you get started: pic.twitter.com/KyuAr7IUf7

Adopt a Process Orientation

Prioritize process.

Learn for the sake of learning, not always for a specific goal.

When you prioritize process, you become flexible in where you are headed.

Life is a winding, confusing journey - forward progress is all that matters.

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)

This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)

Noah Smith
@Noahpinion

Remember: Just because an idea is old doesn't mean it's good.

Knowing whether old ideas are more likely to be good requires understanding whether conditions have changed in important ways.

Horse archery was an amazing method of warfare for over a thousand years...then people invented guns, and suddenly this great idea that had stood the test of time became obsolete.

Then again, when underlying conditions don't change much, tried-and-true approaches are probably better.

"Learning the lessons of history" usually just means assuming ergodicity and stationarity in an informal time-series model...

A thread on HN about bad code in legacy projects both makes me think how little we've learned as a discipline over the years and, honestly, how little credit we give ourselves for some pretty major

Fun going down this list and thinking: "Hmm, plausible at a well-run modern software shop", "Hmm, possible, but requires implausible tradeoffs", "Literally disallowed by languages", and "If you were to attempt doing that our test suite wouldn't let you merge."

I think we as an industry celebrate (not quite the right word) failure too much and don't celebrate success nearly enough. There is no DailyWTF for competent execution, word of which generally stays pretty local to the source while incompetence passes into legend.

Alrighty let me try to thread the needle on being the change I want to see in the world while not giving away anything that will get me in trouble:

Ruby has wonderful developer ergonomics. Typed languages are easier for machines to guarantee the correctness of. We built a type checker for Ruby (and I believe it is slated for OSS release sometime).
