Adaptability

"Be Adaptable" is something people advise. But how to "be" adaptable?

What do we need to do to be adaptable?
Well, it actually involves 2 things: Building capabilities and being flexible in approach.

So Adaptability = Capability + Flexibility

Magnifying the spirit

How to know if a relationship is successful?
If one has helped "magnify the spirit" of the other.
We would all be super happy and satisfied if we are in the flow of receiving magnification of spirit from others and also making sure of magnifying the spirit of others.

Deep Learnings: Game Theory

The most important perspective on Game Theory which changed my perspective of being very strict with people.

The slow discovery of ecosystem of ideas

Over the past 2 years of learning multiple things from multiple streams, I have come to a realisation that upgrading your thinking involves not just know some random ways of thinking (though it helps in the short run). 

Upgrading your thinking is actually understanding a whole ecosystem of ideas, thoughts, processes and perspective and how all these nicely fit with each other. In the yesteryears, this was difficult. But today, with instagram profiles following each other, substack authors referring each other, getting hold of the various thoughts of similar thinking, but various aspects has gotten easier.

An example of how various people in the same thinking ecosystem say:

Dan Koe: Emphasises that having multiple interests is a strong advantage today.

Naval: Code is a great form of leverage today.

Multiple people are talking of a one person company having a billion dollar annual revenue.

Another person I recently heard saying, today, with so much AI, AI is not going to be the competitive advantage. A person with a unique perspective identifying a real problem to be solved with his unique solution is going to be the competitive advantage. Using AI is going to make his work easier to implement and deploy.

All these are in the same ring of thoughts and go very well with each other.

Discovering 1 new thought out of line of our ecosystem of thoughts can make us sceptical about it and make us follow our previous set of beliefs/ thoughts. But as we slowly unravel the whole ecosystem of thoughts, it all makes sense for a new worldly context.
