ArjunGaur @ArjunGaur: "New Week’s Acceptances Rather than resolutions,..."

United Kingdom

New Week’s Acceptances Rather than resolutions, I want to come to terms with a few things in the new week. 1. Blindspot Barrier Accept that people hide their skeletons, which requires blind forgiveness of their quirks and moods because you’re unaware of what they’re dealing with. We’d all be nicer to each other if our hardest problems weren’t the ones we were least likely to make public. Accept that few people have bad intentions, but lots of people do bad things because of bad incentives. This isn’t an excuse for bad behaviour, but it helps you feel a little better about humanity. 2. Overcoming Blindspot Barrier Accept that people who have lived different lives have different views about what the world’s problems are. I might think your priorities are crazy not because they’re wrong, but because they’re addressing issues I don’t see in my own life. This is the root of most internet arguments. Accept that choosing your college major at age 18 means many people end up in the wrong careers, so people you don’t think much of can be brilliant and insightful at things you never see. Accept that rest is a key component of hard work. If this were as obvious in business as it is in exercise we’d all be more productive. 3. Time Accept that people have vastly different desires, except for two things: Respect, and control over their time. Those are nearly universal. Accept that in 10 years you’ll realise a lot of stuff you believe today is wrong. (Most stuff if you’re under age 30; all stuff if under age 20.) 4. Innovation Accept that there’s little correlation between hard work and success, but lots of correlation between solving other people’s problems and success. No one cares if you moved a mountain. They only care if they needed the mountain moved in the first place. Accept that every product we love today started out as a crazy-looking solution to a serious problem, which means we could be more hopeful about solving serious problems and more accepting of crazy-looking solutions. 5. Conclusion Accept that history is a continuous chain of accident, regret, error, miscalculation, bad decisions, unintended consequences, surprise, and misinformation – but things still got mostly better for most people, and most people meant well along the way. Happy New Week. What you could come to terms with this Week - Simple - Rather than betting Short Term on that extra special fail-proof business over and over again, how about getting creative and finding other Long Term Opportunities like $DBI (Designer Brands Inc) $CO.PA (Casino Guichard Perrachon SA) $OTB.L (On the Beach) $GTLB (GitLab) and $AGRO (Adecoagro S.A.) mamashavendotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/acceptance.jpg I welcome you all to look at my Portfolio and add it to your Watchlist >> I look forward to growing with all of you : )
