Hi
Do you carve for success?
Do you want simple and clear instructions to help you win?
Drumroll…
I wrote a book ‘Success Begets Success’ and I am launching it on August 31.

Simon Sinek’s 50 Rules of Success
This is truly golden. 2.5 hours of wisdom from Simon Sinek. Thanks to @Evan Carmichael for curating this.
My favourite rules are:
Rule #10. Start with WHY. Yes, that his now famous TED Talk
Rule #19. Set Unrealistic Goals. Simon’s goal is ‘World Peace’. And I thought I was dreaming big.
Rule #36. Focus on the Positive Thinking. “Human brain cannot comprehend the negative.” This is not some new age woo-hoo. It is Biology.

The Obstacle is the Way - Ryan Holiday
“You will come across obstacles in life — fair and unfair. And you will discover, time and time again, that what matters most is not what these obstacles are but how we see them, how we react to them, and whether we keep our composure.” –Ryan Holiday
It is counterintuitive. But Ryan makes a great case that a problem that may be stopping you from achieving you goal might contain the wisdom of solution within it. It is a modern rendition of Stoicism and that very much popularised it. Definitely worth the read!
From Sathya’s desk
Last Monday (August 17), I attended a virtual meetup organised by @Edmund, with Vik Duggal, Neil Soni, Dru Riley. Great conversation.
