Learn Many Things or Master One ?

 Both.

One of the common mistakes I see people making in every area of their life is to assume that most things are an “either/or” equation.

But they aren’t.

More often than not, they’re “both/and.”

And to answer your question, the BEST thing you can do with your life is to develop a wide breadth of skills and knowledge (a jack of all trades) AND devote yourself to mastering a single skill or trade.

Or to put it another way, “To build a T Shaped Life”

Let me break this down for you…

Mastery is said to require at least 10,000 hours of disciplined effort.

Which means that you can realistically MASTER one skill every 5 years (assuming that you’re mastering your primary profession and working 8 hours 5 days a week with a few holidays).

So, if you’re 30 right now and you live to be 70, it’s possible for you to become a true master of 5–8 different disciplines throughout your lifetime.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

To become “World Class” at something (in the top 5% of the world), you rarely need more than 250–500 hours of practice.

So…

Assuming that you’re only willing to devote only 3 hours a day to secondary skills—whether it’s reading, writing, playing the guitar, doing yoga, or training jujitsu—you can become highly competent at 2–3 MORE skills every year.

In a given decade, you can master two skills and become world class at 20–30 more.

Pretty crazy, right?

The trick is to become more disciplined in the way that you use your time.

Most Americans waste 6+ hours a day on social media, porn, TV, and video games.

And if you’re willing to cut back on these vices and invest those extra hours into more fulfilling pursuits, you can quickly build your own T shaped life where you are a master of 2–3 AND a jack of all trades.

Hope this helps.

Stay Grounded,

If you stay in an abusive relationship “for the sake of the children,” here is what you are teaching your children:

 If you stay in an abusive relationship “for the sake of the children,” here is what you are teaching your children:

  • Abuse is normal
  • Adult relationships are abusive
  • There are no consequences for abuse; you can abuse others without any penalty
  • People in romantic relationships never defend themselves or assert boundaries
  • Love means putting up with poor treatment

These are not healthy lessons and they won't equip your child to have healthy relationships

The first question to ask oneself when spending money for anything, be it rent, clothes, gadgets, travel & leisure, etc., always ask before.........................

 The first question to ask oneself when spending money for anything, be it rent, clothes, gadgets, travel & leisure, etc., always ask before - can I afford to spend this much money?

The second question - Will I have enough for other needs?

The final question to ask is - I am getting my money's worth?

If the answers are - Yes-Yes-Yes - then it makes sense, else not.



-Prasanna Bhalerao
 

Is being optimistic the best way to be successful in life ?

 No…


But neither is pessimism.


Optimism or “Seeing the world through rose-colored glasses” can be one of the biggest mistakes a person makes.


Optimism can cost you time, money, even your life (think: being overly optimistic about a global pandemic and deciding that you don’t need to prepare or listen to the warnings from officials…)


What is truly productive is this…


An unwavering belief in your ability to solve the problems presented to you by life.

And unshatterable pragmatism and realism as you attempt to solve those problems.

Self-belief is not “optimistic”. It’s based on sound evidence.


Other people who are no better, smarter, or more advantaged than you have found ways to succeed and live exceptional lives… so can you.


BUT…


It will require hard work, sweat, sacrifice (maybe a smattering of blood). Things probably won’t work out in the short term.


You will fail. You will lose money. People will break up with you. Friends will betray you.


Shit will happen.


That’s just a part of life.


This is not an admonishment to be pessimistic and think that just because the worst can happen, it will.


Rather to be brutally realistic.


Take, for example, entrepreneurship…


The optimist says, “This’ll be great! I’m going to make millions with my first idea and take care of everybody I love!”


Challenges arise, setbacks occur, and failure strikes and the optimist gives up.


The pessimist says, “I’ll never make it work. 80% of small businesses fail anyway. I might as well just stay in my soul sucking job.”


Thus, the pessimist defeats themself before they even begin.


But the realist says, “This is going to be challenging. I’m going to encounter failures and setbacks, but they’re just part of the process. If I am resilient and resourceful enough…if I learn from the right people, avoid making stupid mistakes, and put in the hard work necessary to succeed, I will eventually make this work.”


The realist always wins.

Earning Wealth vs Keeping It

 Mike Tyson earned up to $30 million per fight at the peak of his career. Some estimate he made over $300 million throughout his career.


After living an extravagant lifestyle, in 2003 Mike filed for bankruptcy with over $27 million in debt.


So, to answer your question, is money greater than knowledge?


We may learn from multiple stories as the one above. Most of them will lead us to the same conclusion: people may possess generational fortunes but if they lack knowledge they will destroy their wealth.


On the other hand, with knowledge you can make money and most importantly keep it.

-Hector Quintanilla

That happiness is neither synonymous with nor driven by PLEASURE

 

The conflation of these two terms is, I believe, the source of much of our modern misery.


We live in a world where every conceivable luxury and convenience is available to the vast majority of the population.


Luxuries once reserved for the elite are now freely and readily available to nearly all of us.


Food that is delivered to your doorstep with the press of a button…


Homes with climate control and running water…


Cars that can take us from one end of the country to another…


Phones with more processing power than the computers that put a man on the moon…


These are but a few of the many things we take for granted in our modern time.


And yet, despite the relative opulence of our modern lifestyle and the unrestrained convenience with which we can live, our nation is more depressed, anxious, and isolated than ever before.


The reason is simple…


We’ve confused happiness for pleasure, and unwittingly sold our souls to the gods of hedonism and instant gratification.


Pleasure is too readily available and too easily accessible.


Alcohol, sugar, technology, porn, drugs, even money…


The quick hits we receive from these substances and activities act as a shallow and fleeting substitute for the things that drive true happiness…things that money cannot buy.


Close friends whom you trust and admire deeply…


An intimate relationship with a lover who shares your vision…


The pursuit of a worthwhile mission that supersedes your fragile human ego and inconsolable sense of inadequacy…


The joy one achieves through struggle and suffering, through the conquest of worthy goals and the triumph over moral and social injustices…


The development of skills, the attainment of wisdom, the willingness to embrace stillness and simply “be”…


These are the things that make one truly happy.


Money and success are nice. So too are luxuries and conveniences and creature comforts.


But happiness is not something you can “earn” or a goal you can achieve or a thing you can buy… no matter how many clever marketers tell you otherwise.


Only pleasure can be bought. And the problem with pleasure is that it’s fleeting and fickle mistress to whom so many of us recklessly give our lives (think: drug addicts, workaholics, and social media fanatics).


It does not and cannot last.


But happiness does.
