I chose the values over the drama of mind. My mind was doing the usual things about but this won’t make me rich etc. and I followed the path of learning.

I realized the first thing I need to work upon is the framework. And that’s what I am working upon, and then gradual additions.

I feel like I am overdoing the clarity map. I already draw the map, It is execution.

Moved forward, communication, grammar, management.

There was a storm of movement because of Toptal thing, which passed away, and I spent most of my time, clarity write-ups and learning.

I may be over clearing things though, one important aspect to know is that It is an incremental process of constant improvement instead of one shot clarity.

The evening meditation was easy and adhisthana.

The core values are the principles that create a better life in the realm of the mind. A consistent well-designed default. On the other hand, I have a default that leads to well, hell. It is moving from mind to intelligence.

There is this thing about this conflict between values and desires. You want to compromise the values when desire overpowers you, or just lower mind overpowers you, of course, you pay the price in the form of self-esteem.

Now the question is how can I make these deeply ingrained.

First, you need to practice, you do it anyway every day. That’s how I built the habit of meditation, you just practice it. Now I can not imagine not doing it.

Now you can also use affirmation and visualizations and internally make it strong.

Than keep sacrificing desires. The desire for ease, the desires for senses.

Life can be a lot more if you are willing to engage in a meaningful...

The next step in grooming is.

• Monthly hair cut.
• Weekly hair clean and bi-weekly face clean.

The task is to make sure, you dress well-maintained office clothes for the whole week.

• 3 cleaned and well pressed shirts and paints.
• Clean and polished shoes and belt.
• See how can you do it smoothly for 2 weeks.

I failed Toptal and in the meditation, it was noisy in the sense that I was thinking about sex and checking time etc.

I was in conflicts with whether to follow my value of continuous learning and do not waste time or keep the mind fresh for Toptal interview.

The interviewer was kind of rude when he said, listen to what I said, and I comply when he raised his voice.

Because I desire the selection in Toptal, my mental state was at unease afterwards, I was compromising with what I value more, this question of sacrificing the desires or compromising the values.

Being radically truthful and transparent with your colleague and expecting your colleague to be the same with you ensures that important issues are apparent instead of hidden. It also forces good behavior and good thinking, because when you have to explain yourself, everyone can openely assess the merits of your logic.

While our idea of meritrocity is not usual, It is liberating to those who adopts it. To give you an idea of what radical truth and transparency look like, I’ll share a difficult situation we faced a few years ago when our management committee began thinking about reorganizing our back office.

I practiced algorithms for more than a month. For almost last 40Days, I practiced it every day, I mastered the first 10 chapters of Codility. Practiced Hacker Rank. Gone through all the chapters of Codility. Yesterday I solved 30 questions in one day. And my average speed is like 5-10mins/question.
I am very well prepared in technical terms.

I am fresh and meditated, and I am going to do more meditations before we start the interview, so mentally I am calm, focused, and ready.

Although this is something I am looking forward to, It is a small subset of work. There is no denying it will be incredibly helpful to either work on the platform or applying for other work. but I also have significant other options.

The primary judgment is whether I grew or not. And the answer is yes. I cultivated the strong technical problem-solving skill, an essential aspect of being a good programmer. So in...

Every great company is unique, but there are a few things that every business must get right at the beginning. I stress this so often that friends have teasingly nicknamed it “Theil’s law”: a startup messed up at its foundation can not be fixed.

When you start something, the first and most crucial decision you make is whom to start it with. Choosing a co-founder is like getting married, and founder conflict is just as ugly as divorce. Optimism abounds at the start of every relationship. It’s unromantic to think soberly about what could go wrong, so people don’t. But if the founders develop irreconcilable differences, the company becomes the victim.

And so it came to pass that a heavily guarded caravan soon departed from Damascus carrying certificates of ownership and gold for those who managed each of Hafid’s trade emporiums.

The two men crouched beside the chest and Hafid...

Did I follow my values - I learned yoga, grammar, and practice algorithms. I drew clarity map for mind and work. I consider Toptal and put that on priority. I didn’t waste time as per se but seems little drifted after lunch or when the mind is heavy.

I was feeling less productive while in the seat maybe because of the AC but when I worked from upstairs I felt good.

The girls were smiling at me, the doctor and that lady, I could have easily started the conversation but I didn’t.
