Art of War

Image
 20 Lessons Learned from "The Art of War " by SUN TZU #1 Unprepared Loses You have to live and finish the war with every detail in your mind. There should be no room for surprises. During the battle, your time and other resources will be limited. If you don’t know which resource to use for how long, you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere. The party with the plan is strong. The side that has a good plan is the side that is close to victory. Plan the week, the day, the hour, even the minutes. #2 Creating a Budget Be aware of how much budget you have for everything from your education to your vacation and how many days or years you can manage with it. Do not try to do a big job by saying that I will find a budget later. It can take a lifetime to compensate for such risks. #3 Thinking Over and Over As mentioned earlier in this The Art of War Summary, don’t be lazy thinking. Think again and again about what might happen when you encounter your enemy. Live it over and over in your m...

Blink

  Top 13 lesson learned from From the Book “Blink” 1.

We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it. 3. Our unconscious is a powerful force. But it’s fallible.

Our instinctive reactions often have to compete with all kinds of other interests and emotions and sentiments. 5.

Rules for my unborn son

  10 Important Lessons from book -"RULES for MY UNBORN SON" 1)Self-discipline Knowing how to work hard is just as important as working hard. Keeping yourself motivated when things are easy is one thing, but keeping yourself motivated when things are bad is another beast. Regardless of the situation, you must have the willpower to push through. Showing that you can do this will not only motivate those around you, it will make you a stronger man. 2)Take responsibility In short step-up. Men take responsibility for their actions and don’t need others to tell them when or how to do so. Being responsible for one’s choices and actions isn’t always the easiest thing in the world. However, true manhood is being able to admit when they are wrong. 3)Choose your battles wisely. It’s important to know which ones are worth fighting and which ones are better left as is. It’s okay to be quiet and walk away. It doesn’t make you less of a man. 4)Be a gentleman Having old school values is okay....

You are not alone We all procrastinate. You are not alone. If you are struggling, ask for help. What you are going through, we all are, and there are others who’ve solved your biggest problem. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 2. Your work is not your worth Have a clear wall of defense between you and your work. The world can judge your work, but that does not define who you are. You are capable of decisiveness, clarity and greatness. 3. The pain & paradox of perfection Perfectionism can be a curse and a veil to protect your self-worth to avoid the fear of failure and being judged. Strive for excellence instead. ‘Start Now. Get Perfect Later’. 4. Pre-crastination Pre-crastination is the illusion of busyness we create by ‘getting things ready’ before we start.

  Top 10 Lessons learned from book - "Atlas of the Heart" 1. Places We Go When Things Are Uncertain ๐ŸฅบVulnerability is the emotion that we experience during times of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. ๐Ÿ”ธVulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage. 2. Be Like Everyone Else, but Better ๐Ÿฅ‡When we compare, we want to be the best or have the best of our group. The comparison mandate becomes this crushing paradox of “Fit in and stand out!” It’s not be yourself and respect others for being authentic, it’s “Fit in, but win.” 3. Places We Go When Things Don’t Go as Planned ❌Disappointments may be like paper cuts, but if those cuts are deep enough they can leave us seriously wounded. ๐Ÿ‘‰exercise in vulnerability helps us maintain meaningful connection with ourselves and others. 4. Places We Go When We’re Hurting ๐Ÿ”ŽHope is a function of struggle—we develop hope not during the easy or comfortable times, but through adversity and discomfort. ๐Ÿ”น Hope is forg...

12 Rules for Life

10 Lessons From "12 Rules for Life" by Jordan B. Peterson 1. "Stand up straight with your shoulders back." People will look down on you if you stand like a weakling. Stand with confidence and it will change your brain's chemistry. You will gain status easier. Women like it too. 2. "Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping." People will move heaven and Earth to get their dog healthy but will then sit on the couch eating chips all day. Care for yourself like you care for your: -Dog -Sister -Father -Mother -Brother 3. "Make friends with people who want the best for you." Surround yourself with people who have dreams and are working towards them. A lot of people will act like your friend until you make them look bad with your success - avoid these people. 4. "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today." Everyone is writing their own book (life), some are on chapter 20, some are on cha...

Shoe Dog's 15 Lesson

Image
  Top 15 Lesson from book -"Shoe Dog " #1 Things Were Tough at the Beginning Despite Nike’s current success, the earlier decades of the company were rife with financial struggle. The company was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports and it verged on bankruptcy for about 20 years before going public in 1980 and became solid enough financially that Knight did not have to worry about going under. #2 The Goal Was Always Quality Possibly one of the biggest ways in which Nike beat the rest of the competition was the constant focus on quality and innovation. Knight and his team were always looking at ways to improve the quality of their product rather than turning out lots of subpar shoes at rock-bottom prices. Knight himself spent many days tearing apart and putting together shoes himself to figure out what worked. #3 Knight Wasn’t Interested in Advertising Phil Knight wasn’t originally very impressed with advertising and didn’t recognize its value in his company plans. Even when Ni...

  Top 12 lesson learned from book -Rework 1.Mistakes and Learning ๐Ÿ“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. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปWhen 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 ๐ŸŒ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.
