Compound effect: Why should you never underestimate the power of compounding.

Domino effect: 🁭🁯 Do you know about the domino effect? If you know about it, then we'll done if you don't then let me explain. So, in the book 'The One Thing' by Gary Keller. He mentions that " In 1983, Lorne Whitehead wrote in the American Journal of Physics that he’d discovered that domino falls could not only topple many things, but they could also topple bigger things. He described how a single domino is capable of bringing down another domino that is actually 50 per cent larger. " You won't understand the power of the domino effect by a simple definition so let me explain it to you. Consider a domino 2 inches tall. So according to the definition, a domino can bring down another domino which is 50 percent larger. So the 2-inch domino can bring down a 3-inch domino and the 3-inch domino can bring down a 4.5-inch domino.  It's a geometric progression and you will be surprised to know that the 17th domino can topple a domino almost the size of the L

Why are podcasts necessary for self development

What is a podcast?

At first, before telling you anything about my journey on podcasts let me tell you what a podcast is. So according to Wikipedia:
         A podcast is an episodic series of                digital audio files that a user can                    download to a personal device to                  listen at a time of their choosing.



Types of podcasts:


There are so many types of podcasts but here are the most prominent ones:
1) Interview podcasts
2) Conversational podcasts
3) Monologue podcasts
4) Storytelling/investigative podcasts
5) Round table podcasts
6) Theatrical podcasts
7) Repurposed content podcasts
8) Hybrid podcasts


Popular podcasts:


You probably know some of these podcasts:
1) The Joe Rogan Experience
2) Crime Junkie
3) TED Talks Daily
4) Ranveer Allahbadia
5) The Daily


Why are podcasts essential for learning:


Podcasts are essential for the following purposes:

1) Podcasts allow multitasking:
You can literally drive a car while listening to a podcast.

2) Podcast are entertaining:
Podcast are a good source of entertainment. You can listen to some detective stories being narrated by a person.

3)Podcasts provide information directly to you:
Podcasts create some type of bond between the podcaster and the listener because they provide content directly to you.


The podcasts that I listen:


Now it's time for the 'me' part. Generally, I don't listen to podcasts from the comedy genre or detective stories genre. Instead I mostly listen to those types of podcasts which provide value to me by providing information.


Some of the podcasts that I listen to:
1) The Joe Rogan Experience
2) Beer Biceps
3) TED Talks Daily
4) You are not so smart


These podcasts allow me to increase my knowledge in a rather entertaining way and that's why I listen to podcasts.


Where can you listen podcasts:


Several apps provide podcasts like iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts. Even YouTube also has video podcasts.

Personally I like listen to podcasts in Spotify but it's all personal preference.

The advantage that males have

Image
If you don't know what male advantage is then let me tell you. Male advantage can be simply understood by the saying 'Men age like wine and women age like milk'. This phrase is self explanatory. It means that women look their best and have the highest sexual market value (sexual market value is just the measure of how much you are desirable to the opposite gender) when they are young and just like milk' gets spoilt in due course of time similiarly a girl's looks also get deteriorated as she ages. You probably know that a girl will never look as good as she was in her 30s and 50s as she did in her 20s. On the other hand, men age like wine we just get better with age if we work on ourselves.  A young man might be young, dumb, broke and ugly but he can improve every aspect with age. A man can go to the gym and improve his body, he may go from a skinny, fat or skinny-fat guy to a muscular handsome guy. A man can work on his business or 9-5 job and go from a broke kid to

Mindfulness - It changes everything

Image
Mindfulness by monks: You have probably seen monks on your phone, tv or if you are lucky enough, then in your real life. Sometimes you have seen them and thought that " How do these people remain so calm? " There is a simple answer to this question. Monks have practiced meditation and mindfulness to such extent that their brains in their normal state is just like a novice person meditating. As monk Takafumi Kawakami has said in a Ted talk "We suffer due to our thoughts of past and worry about future". So our sufferings mostly occur because we are not mindful. In his Ted talk monk Takafumi Kawakami has said that the best practice of developing mindfulness is meditation because it is itself a practice of remaining in the present moment. As our present actions determine our future- what you do today will surely determine your future. I won't go into detail on how to meditate for developing mindfulness but the most common practice is inhaling slowly and

Why you shouldn't focus on the results

Image
Think of this situation  'A guy creates a YouTube channel, creates 4-5 videos in total checked the channel analytics, didn't see any results. Another guy starts a youtube channel but he makes it a goal to publish 1-2 videos each day despite the views' Who do you think will quit earlier the first guy or the second one. It's mostly the first guy.                              WHY? Because the first guy focused on the results and not on the process. Why does focusing on results won't work? Look, the result of an outcome can't be controlled by our own will but it can be influenced by our actions. If you just focus on what you need to do and don't focus on 'why do I don't see any results?' then you are most likely not to quit easily. My blogs don't get many views but do you think it would stop me. No, because I have made up my mind that I will publish blogs for at least 2 years at a minimum and that too without expecting any results bec
