Solo Game / Social Game

There are two games you can play – Playing with society Playing with yourself The Social Game is interesting. I go out there, find my audience, follow the trends, pick the new… But the big drawback of the social game is this is part – “I will win when society is happy.” The fact is – society being happy is like a mirage. The Solo Game is a whole different game. In this game – I compete with myself. I set benchmarks for my improvement.

The Number 1729

The genius mathematician Ramanujan died very young. On his deathbed, his friend and mentor G.H Hardy came in to try to cheer him up. He said, “Ramanujan, I came in on a taxi and the license plate, it’s very boring. It’s 1729.” And on his deathbed, Ramanujan still had the wit and faculty to say, “Oh, that’s not boring.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional -Haruki Murakami Pain is not the same as suffering. According to meditation teacher Shinzen Young, the key to happiness is the understanding that suffering is caused by resisting pain.

Beyond Averages

On average, we are living longer and healthier lives. On average, there is less hunger and poverty in the world. On average, we have more access to information. On average, there is more peace in the world. On average, the Gross World Product has grown significantly. On average, we are more global and social. On average, we are more satisfied with life. But I is not an average of the We. An Individual is not an averaged point of an unequal society. An Individual is an individual, struggling to find her path. The Crisis of Meaning is personal.

Opposite Of Ignorance 

Opposite Of Ignorance  You may say – knowledge. One kind of knowledge is literal knowledge – of the workings and the laws. The other kind goes deeper. We may call that wisdom – that which builds a perspective. One tells us how to keep the car running well, how to improve its performance and how to improve its speed. The other tells us what direction to drive.  We need both. To drive business. Also to drive our lives. https://dash.coach
