"Effort is the dial you can best turn." (Thread)
#karmanyevaadhikaraste
Quote Tweet
Extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary effort, skill, or luck. Effort is the dial you can best turn.
Find a goal so inspiring, so suited to your talents, or so perfect for your life context that you can make an extraordinary effort relative to the field. Then go after it!

Use long-term thinking to decide on the "right" process to follow, then stick to that, even if it doesn't work in the short-term.
Following the process is deterministic, success is probabilistic. So focus on the process. Do not modify the process based on short-term results.

AR Rahman's advice is also #karmanyevaadhikaraste
Quote Tweet
AR Rahman speaks to me about Indian art and artists on the global stage. For young artists he says “focus on your art and the universe will find you”

Long term thinking (hard) vs long term commitment (easier).
Another corollary of #Karamnyevaadhikaaraste
Quote Tweet
This sounds like yet another sermon about long-term thinking, but it isn't. It's a sermon about long-term *commitment.* It doesn't take much upfront thinking. I mean, fairly dim people seem to get married at 22 without much thought and make a successful 30-40 marriage out of it.

Bezos is amazing.
You can either focus on and admire his achievements (for example: see attached screenshot).
Or you can focus on and try to copy his actions (for example: see 's thread: twitter.com/david_perell/s)
The second is the right way
Quote Tweet
With Jeff Bezos stepping down as CEO, here’s a thread of the best things I’ve learned from him.
1. Be willing to change your mind.
As Bezos famously said: "Anybody who doesn’t change their mind a lot is dramatically underestimating the complexity of the world we live in.”

Another rephrasing of karmanyevaadhikaaraste...
Quote Tweet
We shouldn’t use results to judge our decisions. Luck plays too big of a role.
Instead, we should focus on what we can control.
We should focus on our *decision-making process*
