POSITIVE MENTALITY IN A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT (THREAD)

First, know that WE are the captains of our ships.

All that you allow to mentally affect you, is because you allow it so.

You, just as easily, can take away the negative drain of outside circumstances by ‘flicking a switch’ within your mind.

It is imperative that you do not allow to get inside your head:

- Other people’s self-limiting beliefs
- Others’ opinions of you or your work

- Any thought that does not serve you or those around you in a helpful way

They are irrelevant, they are changing and most of all they are outside of your control.

Trying to control that which you have no directive over is literally impossible and a foolish man’s game.

All of man’s suffering comes from attempting to control that which is out of his hands

If you re within a negative environment

Start to visualise the outside circumstances as a blessing; -This environment is a test from the universe to give me to the tools of mental resilience

This way you are motivated and excited to test yourself against the waves of negativity - it becomes an enjoyable challenge and one that if endured will leave you with a stronger mindset than if you’d just had complete support your whole life

Inevitably, there are people that will tear you down, because your success or even your energy alone will trigger their ego into feeling inadequate. The trick is to not feel anger towards them, because they know not what they do.

Those Living in an unconscious state will be more open to adhering to better mind states when it is shown to be the way, with love, and never judgement or argument.

Show, do not tell.

It is our imperative to allow them to feel what they feel, yet still be the smiling force of positivity and light regardless.

This is not to say that you should accept anything that people do to you.

On the contrary, you should aim to remove yourself from toxic environments as much as possible - but if you are stuck in one due to logistics of your life for the moment, then relish in the fire.

Come out the other side a stronger person and know that it all will be beneficial in the end.

A thread...

Lie 1:
If you don't settle in your 20s, you are gone!

Study fast, get a job, get married, kids, that car, that house.
Quickly!
Time's running.
Look at everyone else doing it!

Look at everyone else who made it.
There is nothing granted or gifted in life.

8 rules the top play by that those at the bottom should adopt.

— Thread
(requested by followers)

1. Leverage

Most poor people don't leverage. Trying to get everything done yourself will limit you to only how much you can do.

Get more hands working for you, and find a way to pay or show them what's in it for them.

2. Trust

When doing business, poor people would require collateral from strangers, but excuse those close to them because they *trust* them.

That's how you get scammed.

The unspoken rule is to know your safety net whenever you're not taking collateral.

Never need to trust.

3. Morality

Never seen a very successful businessman say "This is not a good thing, it's evil."

It's either good for business or bad for business. Its either effective or ineffective.

Morality will only limit you.

4. Reciprocity

Expecting someone to help you because you helped them in the past is ludicrous.

If you're no longer useful to them, people have no reason to help you.

"Whenever you see water flowing upstream it means someone it repaying a kindness."

Being humble is to be felt. It’s not something that you show off.

Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others.
#BeHumbleLikeSSR

Be kind, work hard, stay humble, smile often, stay loyal, be honest, travel when possible, never stop learning, love always. #BeHumbleLikeSSR #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput

To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength. #BeHumbleLikeSSR #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput

The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk. #BeHumbleLikeSSR #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput

Me and my brother visiting Stonehenge in AD 2003. Speaking of relatives in and around Stonehenge, here's a new (OA) paper with Jo Brück, @SelBrace & Ian Barnes based on findings in Olalde et al. (2018)

https://t.co/m8XOsP1rQN

https://t.co/0XaRbWKVHU

The main aim of this paper was to try to show off the wealth of useful information that can be found in the Supplementary Materials of large-scale aDNA papers, if you know where to look. These details are often not discussed in the main text, but can be pretty significant...

Olalde et al. (2018) found there was a yuge transformation (>90%) of the genetic ancestry of people in Chalcolithic-Early Bronze Age Britain (c.2450-2000) produced by movements of groups of people from possibly various parts of continental Europe.

Our chronological modelling of associated radiocarbon dates in OxCal suggests this ancestry shift was fairly gradual, probably taking between 311-472 years, or 10-16 generations.

Groups genetically continuous with preceding Late Neolithic groups continued inhabiting C-EBA Britain but we don't see them so much in the DNA data as they largely continued to cremate their dead or treat them in ways which left no archaeological record.

Let’s talk about hope & despair.

[THREAD]

Crank this up for the

1/ One of the more memorable—and frightening—lines from “Nineteen Eighty-Four” reads: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.” In Orwell’s dystopia, resistance is futile. Big Brother wins, inevitably.

2/ I refuse to believe this applies to the USA in 2021. I won’t have it. I don’t care how much dirty money mobster spy psy-op disinformation data manipulation corporate MAGA Christofascist QAnon Fox News weapons these fuckers have in their arsenal. WE shall prevail. Not them.

3/ Is this second impeachment infuriating? Yes. Are Trump’s lawyers and his GOP lickspittles gaslighting us yet again? Yes. Does that mean that all hope is lost? Hell no.

4/ I’m hearing this w/r/t impeachment: “’Mueller is coming’ didn’t work out so well.” Can we parse that for a minute? Yes, we wanted Mueller to arrest ALL of them, and he didn’t—because he couldn’t. Rosenstein didn’t allow him to follow the money. Barr cockblocked the Report.

Once there was a great deluge,everything in the world was destroyed.All lifeforms that existed got perished.Afterwards ,due to Bhagwan Shiva creation started.Then from Bhagwan Shiv ji's mouth-birth of 🕉 OM- Pranavam happened.From Pranavam,4 vedas appeared. Rishis learned them.

Many Rishis in Naimisharanya learned Vedas&recited them but they didn't understand the meaning&essence of Vedas. They were worried as they couldn't find any guru who can teach them the meaning of Vedas.That time,Rishi Arabhatar visited them.Rishis told him about need their worry.

Rishi Arabhatar told them that Bhagwan Shiva has given Vedas &he would be grateful enough to teach the meaning as well.But for that rishis have to rigorous penance at a sacred place.Also told them to go to Sundareswarar temple in Madurai to do tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy.

Assured them that Dakshinamurthy himself will come & teach them.Rishis proceeded to Madurai & started their tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy sannidhi for almost a year starting from Karthigai month pournami to next year Karthigai month pournami following all rituals..annadan

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.

Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...

...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.

Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.

Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.
