How to become smarter

  1. Focus on the top most and the lower most part of your attire, that is your hair and your shoes, these are the most noticed things.
  2. Never easily trust people or tell your secrets to every other person you are comfortable with.
  3. Be an “information digger”, listen to everyone, you will get to learn so many important things, speak only when it's essential.
  4. Always carry a little smile of confidence on your face, this can be done by thinking about all the good things in life.
  5. Keep focus on what comes out of your mouth, “smell” and “words” both matter a lot. Maintain a high grade.
  6. Keep yourself simple. Complicating yourself or over doing things only makes you look like a bunch of entangled wires.
  7. Speak with ease, don't rush, even if you are short of time.
  8. Always pay attention to the clothes and accessories you wear. Price doesn't matter, cleanliness matters.
  9. Don't talk about your weaknesses in public, work on them in private.
  10. Never stop learning, learn about shit, but learn.
  11. Never underestimate yourself, your uniqueness is your USP. If you think low of yourself, you are encouraging the whole world to do the same.
  12. Don't abuse or hit people, behave in all humbleness with politeness, your mind knows a thousand ways to silently kill a snake, think with cold mind.
  13. Smart people don't accept defeats and failures, they hug them with open hands and learn.
  14. Cry when alone, smile in public.
  15. Smart people don't rush, they relax and think.
  16. Smart people don't run in stupid races, they walk on the right track.
  17. You can work hard to survive, smart people create a vision to thrive.
  18. Smart people don't show off, they appear like under dogs until they conquer the world.

The Feynman Technique Model to learn better

The Feynman Technique is a  Mental Model  named after  Richard Feynman , a Nobel Prize Winning Physicist. It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly ...

What is procrastination and get rid if that?

I will become an IAS officer. For that, I need the best books available in the market. I need to be enrolled in the best training institute. I need the advice of a few successful candidates. I need a separate room in my house. It must have a comfortable study table and an Airconditioner. I must have the fastest wi-fi and the best laptop to study. I must take a week's break and enjoy the fullest before I start my preparations. It's too late now I will plan for the “holiday” tomorrow. In the meanwhile, a poor auto driver's daughter was studying under street lamp from torn second-hand books at 3 am in the morning. Procrastination starts from- Putting conditions on a particular task. From the lack of urgency and non-compulsive nature of an activity. From the thought of having a perfect environment to do something. The wait for the perfect moment (which never comes) The thought of undervaluing the present moment. Fear of failures or facing complexit...

There Are Two Ways to Read — One Is Useless

Reading is telepathy, and a book is the most powerful technology invented. Homer, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Woolf, Hemingway — these are names without a living body. We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word. Aristotle’s logic, Kepler’s astronomy, Newton’s physics, Darwin’s biology, Wittgenstein's philosophy — these are memes without living originators. They no longer champion their ideas, and yet, we still talk about them. Without books, humans would never have escaped the boundaries of space and time. Each new generation would have had to learn the realities of life for themselves rather having the luxury to build on the past; knowledge accumulation would have quickly dimmed towards an asymptote. Everything that we value in the modern world has its root in invention of writing. Everything that we have accomplished has come from reading. Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...
