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

Should you enjoy your youth or hustle

Now this is really a very tough question to answer. 

But I am myself a teen and I have somewhat found the answer to it. So I will tell you guys about it.

Start: You probably have heard people telling you about enjoying your youth by going out to parties, dancing with friends, going to restaurants, going to birthday parties and what not.

On the first glance it seems that they are right because these years are the best years of our life but if we dive deeper we find that these are the same people who are not successful. These are the same people who enjoyed their youth and now are living a shit life because they didn't build that solid foundation during their teens, twenties and early thirties.

So what should you do. Should you enjoy your youth or hustle and grind.

Let's explain the answer by telling you two examples.

Example 1: 
There's a man named Jack (sorry if there's a real guy named Jack reading it). Jack is like the typical teenager who likes to go out with his friends, studies just to pass the exams, has great dreams but never even tries to accomplish them because he is always busy pleasing his friends and thinks about getting a girl friend all day.

Jack thinks that he will be a millionaire by his twenties or thirties. But he never even tries to accomplish that dream because he thinks he has time. Jack spends his youth enjoying and partying. Jack now reaches his thirties he finally realises that he is nowhere close to being a millionaire so now he panicks. He buys lottery tickets, enrols in some get rich quick scheme. He now realises that he is not a fit guy but a fat slob. He becomes depressed because life didn't go the way he planned.

Example 2:
Alex is another guy. Just like Jack, Alex is also in his teens but he is smart. He knows that spending most of his time partying won't help because if he continues this lifestyle he won't even be close to being a millionaire by his twenties or thirties. 

Alex realises this fact early on and hence works hard. He works on his business, looks, body, studies, hygiene, diet etc. but since Alex is smart he knows that being completely rigid with self development will lead to burnout because then he won't have time to replenish his energy. So, he goes to parties, clubs, once a month to give himself a nice treat for the hardwork he has done. Alex looks so handsome during his teens that all the girls are after him. 

Alex also becomes successful in his business and now he is a multi-millionaire.
Alex enters the top 1% of men bracket and now has a beautiful girl friend whereas Jack is still broke.

The answer: So now you got the answer. The answer to this tough question is having a balance in life. You must hustle and grind for a brighter future but also party sometimes because you will be a freak if you only devote your time for your future. 

Start early:
Since during your youth you are young so you have an advantage of starting early. You have more energy and have more motivation. You also have the greatest asset with you that is time. 

If you start early you see the results early and that's very important. Imagine a life where you have everything you ever need during your twenties. That will be such a great life.

My example: Although I am just 16 but yeah I can see the gap between me and other 16 year olds of my class. Most of them are skinny or fat but only I am the one who has a 6 pack.
    this is my physique guys 3 months ago

I am not telling this to brag I am just telling this to let you know that achieving your dreams early on in life will help you. I am also working on my blog to grow it's monthly readers so as I am writing this blog I am also getting one step closer to being successful. 

But yeah one thing is sure that I am not a complete dumbass because I am not always busy with my website or body. I too have fun with my friends, eat shit food a lot, drink juice but all of these are in a balance. So I am also enjoying and also improving.


Conclusion: So you must also hustle and grind and also enjoy your youth but in a balance because balance is necessary.
Because if you won't have a balance then later on you will either regret for not working hard when you had time or you will regret that you never had some fun during your youth.
That's the answer guys.

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
