Doing the impossible to get ahead in life



“Don’t knock yourself out of the game before you get the bat!”
“If you keep doing the same things over and over again you will get the same results”.

What are patterns

If we do things over and over again in the same fashion, a pattern results.Our minds and bodies grow accustomed to these patterns.Sometimes they get embedded in our subconscious.We also , at times, mindlessly carry on with those patterns for an infinite time.

Why are patterns ineffective
  • We do them without thinking
  • There is no metric for measuring effectiveness
  • There is no scope of change
  • We are hard-wired to do them
  • Nothing in terms of betterment comes of it


How to break old patterns
  • Acknowledge ineffectiveness
  • Prime yourself for change
  • Realize that life is too short to keep running in circles
  • Envision the growth you want and make a plan to reach there
  • Start being pumped
  • Stick to the plan without paying heed to environment,stress,business cycle changes
  • Surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable and kick your ass hard
  • Own your evasive tactics,bullshit stories and “I cannot”
  • Evaluate every two days and weekly how you’re progressing
  • Gauge progress by hard metrics
  • Change course of things midway if a particular approach is not working
  • Don’t get caught up in mundane things
  • Sharpen focus
  • If you’re going off track continue to take two steps forward for every one backward till backsliding stops
  • Celebrate each milestone
  • Repeatedly tell yourself that you were born to do great things and not sit in front of TV eating popcorn all day
  • Continue with the aim of mastery and not short term gratification

    The best emotions and worst of the emotions are usually on the same pradigm of the effectiveness , quite true to what you have mentioned .
    Being hardwired to our failures gives us a fear to approve something new ..

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im...
