In my lifetime, I have witnessed many aspects of human impressions in natural and social world. This series of articles will indulge wisdom experienced from various sources, analyzed, filtered and reproduced in a form that a normal human reader can understand. This is my personal observation set.
Success in human life is function of talent, luck, opportunity and hard-work. S = f ( H, O, T, L )
Talent - one is born with - this can be ignored or nurtured.
Luck - your upbringing is not in control, neither day to day life non free will directions
Opportunity - you need to be alert and ready when opportunity comes in hindsight to grab it
Hard work - totally in control with a purpose and goal - necessary condition for Success.
If you think you are special and a genius (pride), then:
There are many people who are more talented than you who have not got the luck & opportunity
Genius is hard work & talent merging with luck - you are alive - that's the opportunity
Humans have same hardware, only software is different - can be re-programmed into anything
You are special if you can create a long lasting positive change in the ecosystem (emergence: individual -> community -> nation -> humanity -> ecosystem of planet that will drive future)
Finding purpose in life:
Set up daily goals - say 3 items
Set up monthly goals - say 3 short-term goals
Set up yearly goals - say 3 long-term goals each year
Set up purpose of your life - 1 idea to bring in positive change - there should be only 1 plan
Human beings by design can't multi-task - be best in one thing first before moving to other stuff
You cannot do all things in a lifetime - this must be accepted
What will you want to be remembered for when you die? Pick those higher goals.
If you have an idea:
Due to huge human population, probability that same idea came to someone else is ~1 (for sure).
An idea without implementation has 0 value. (in mathematics, it will be a proof)
An idea implementation may be valued now or later.
An idea's impact ~ degree of aid in survival of human race, not how many know it.
Impactful ideas are generated by need (practical problem), not by problem imagination.
An idea upon sharing with others (+ve & -ve) becomes more rooted to succeed.
First principles in relevant subjects will make a vague idea rooted in implementation feasibility.
Peer Handling:
Don't focus on what others are doing, focus on what they are not doing.
If people start talking about you negatively - that's a signal you are growing.
You can't make everyone happy - do what your role in this world asks you to do fairly. If that requires terminating your boss from a job - do so - be a decision maker - not coward.
Encircle around people who are positive and talks about new ideas, discoveries and inventions.
A simple Life Path:
Each day before sleeping, ask yourself - have you given the best of you in this day? May be you failed in finishing something. But the answer - if it is Yes - then it is OK - neglect what others say. Similarly, if answer is No, then whatever claps you get from others, it is meaningless.
Have time slots for dedicated work, relaxation times with family and alone time. There is no fixed percentage - but in a day of ~ 16 wake hours :- 1 hour should be alone time (meditate). And rest time you mix and match as per your need: 9 for work and 6 hours for family, hobbies, learning.
When Learning something new, try to take notes so that you can teach that topic.
Whatever you do - there has to be a tangible output - this will help keeping mind focused.
Say No to anything that jeopardizes your Life plan - there should be no Plan B
You should have fun in your work - you should work for free - however in this material world - try to live by essentials and focus on what you love to do - you are your own appraiser and judge. What others say is noise. As you mature, your brain will develop in filtering advise from noise.
Experience is the only thing you should pursue - asset should be avoided to keep mind focused.
