Low success rate in most domains is mostly a skill issue. People learn skills (plumbing, software, surgery, cooking etc.) to create & deliver value. Entrepreneurship is profitably capturing that value. Any worker is just a solo entrepreneur, hopefully profitable.

On Black Money = What’s the point of such money if you can’t openly spend it without consequences? I still recall a coworker’s wife kesuali telling my wife: भाभीजी, इतना पैसा है, कहाँ रखे? समझ में नहीं आता. रात को डर के मारे नींद नहीं आती !
On Being Asked - Should I go for this field - Stop meandering. Start doing what ever the fuck you truly want. Go crack UPSC and join the IAS. फिर पसंद ना आए तो थूँक देना, कुछ और कर लेना उसके बाद LFG !!!
Learning for the sake of learning without a clear goal is practically useless. Refine and prioritize goals before doing anything what so ever.

Today, I rode the bicycle through the नाना नानी/दादा दादी park, where I briefly chatted with an old couple visiting from India, sitting in the park watching their grandkids play. As usual and customary of Indians, they asked me about my wife, kids, the entire family, work history, salary, CTC, Cr LPA, credit score, etc., and were shocked to hear my age while noticing that I was riding a 4-mile loop in the hills of Sammamish. Turned out that the elderly couple was younger than me..

successful businesses prioritize customer satisfaction over profit. Money is just a byproduct.
All career paths require investing (in self + a chosen few) Forgetting to properly invest after getting rich from a career is a path to mediocrity. Diligent investing can't be beat. Also, getting poor off of investing is actually a lesser satisfying career path.

Steve's words are my guiding principle. You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust your gut. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
I have this 𝕏 account since Jan 2008. 99% of my posts are from the last 18 months. Wonder why is that?
