Pitbull's guide to life

-
Throwing your way ball of Pitbull motivation.
We are aware of Pitbull's success in Rap industry.
Not many might know that he grew around drugs, abuse, pimps and yet,he turned his life  around.

Armando Christian Perez, a.k.a. Pitbull was onto something when he said,
there's no losing,only learning.
there's no failure, only opportunities.
there's no problems, only solutions.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
If you don't know where you are from, you don't know where you are going.

Let it sink.

He believes that ,in the music industry, 90% is business and 10% is talent.
Spanish translation of talent is talento but ta lento,in spanish, means too slow.
So you see if you get locked up in the talent side for long, you will get sucked in the business and just become another statistic, instead of creating your business and making it big.

His perspective on success?
Patience, passion, perseverance equals success.
Succeed is making it. 
Success is 'how do you maintain it?'
Successful is when you understand what it is to succeed and what to do with success.

When you give people success you are giving them access to suck in excess.
See how.
Succeed, success, successful has the word SUCK in it.
SUCK-seed , SUCK-cess, SUCK-cessful
It comes with ' suck in excess'. You have gotta learn to deal with this phase and with people believing that you suck. You have to learn to face doubts, know that you will suck at times too and that failure will be there, and then learn to grow and be successful.

Hold on. Pause.
We live in a society that is not now, its right now. 
Stop living for instant gratification.
 His number advice? 
Cut out the noise. That phone can be a lot of noise in your life. You gotta know how to access the access. There is too much information that doesn't really allow you to focus on what is important in life.

He summarized the current scenario in his one-liners well.
We take so many pictures now, we miss the big picture. 
We are so connected,we're disconnecting.
We want everything so fast that we are the ones becoming slower. 

Would you wanna be involved in a billion dollar business to get a trillion dollar headache?
I'd rather be happy.
They know the secret. It is not about the end result, it is about the journey.
You gotta figure out what you want from this journey. 

I have come across many people who are engrossed in learning and do not focus on business aspect of it. I am one of them. I do understand that learning can never be enough and it can never finish. We have to figure ways of doing these things together. And I am just struck with his connotation of suck-cess.
I have many goals.I think for me, finding a partner in this  journey with whom I can grow, share love and sorrow and celebrate the journey is more important.
Go get it people!

Meet your Genius

                                   How often have you called someone a genius? Too big a title huh? I am not saying that it is wrong, I am just saying it is putting too much weight on fragile human shoulder. Cambridge dictionary defines genius as very great and rare natural ability or skill, especially in a particular area such as science or art, or a person who has this. Merriam Webster defines as an attendant spirit of a person or place. Commonly defined as a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative. The definition I find peculiarly interesting is given on Wikipedia, In Roman religion, the genius is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing. Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died....

To my Thinking Brain

-
 You know why you should read books , a lot of them? When you have read a lot of books, you somehow stumble upon the book you need at the time. You stumble upon the right excerpt from a book at the right time. You somehow read the thing that you didn't know you needed but that helps you or you just recollect something you had read long back in a book that helps you now. I am going through a traumatic experience and I just start shuffling my books in the rack, and smell books randomly and at the start of a book, I noticed I had scribbled a page number so I flip to that page and find that it is a ' Letter to the Thinking Brain' talking about the Feeling brain. As I kept reading, I realized that it was what I needed to hear. I started feeling better and I understood what I needed to do next, I found few ways to cope.  So guys, read! You can't imagine how that helps. Things you read in a book pop up when you need them and if you have read a lot, you learn to identify those ...

Musings at 3 am

-
Sometimes I feel like everything around me disappears. When I am watching or reading psychological thrillers or dark stuff, I feel like I am one of them with all the darkness around me. The fictional world becomes my reality. I sure as hell start using their vernacular and accent, also in my head. But its not just that. I am aware that I am not living one of the character's life. It is more like I am suddenly  more aware to the gnawing emptiness in me. A feeling that keeps me rooted to inaction. Its like in that moment, I'd rather want my life to just drag on than me being in charge. I would do and  accept anything that will immediately occupy my mind and not let rationality in. Its like I am starving for mental distraction, to not think consciously and not come out of the trance. I will continue watching one series after another. I will keep reading that book which I know is trouble but before I think it is too much and actually muster the courage to stop, my mind has already...

  Wishing, waiting and wanting is the state in which we spend most of our times. Let's change it now. When water is still, you can see into it clearly. Similarly, when things slow down and they are still, you get greater clarity. We may identify certain areas of our life that don't fulfill us. In this uncertain time we are getting the time to slow down, let us gain clarity. I let Jay Shetty guide me towards my passion in a podcast. He outlines four steps to get started with the process: 1. Overcoming overthinking and procrastination 2. Two paths towards your passion 3.value of strategy, expertise 4. Regret(getting into action) 1. Overthinking We spend so much time thinking that we never get into action. Jay procrastinated for 2 years before he launched his first video.First, lets remove a misconception. We think distraction is stopping us from moving forward. But it is an attraction issue. We are simply not very attracted to the thing so we don't do it. Think about it. Do w...
