Self-identity is shaped by the way we think about ourselves. Long before the world sees our actions, we carry an internal picture of who we are—our worth, our ability, our limits, and our potential. That inner picture quietly influences how we speak, what we attempt, what we avoid, and what we believe we deserve.

Because of that, the thoughts we repeatedly entertain matter. If we constantly focus on lack, weakness, or comparison, our identity begins to shrink around those ideas. But if we direct attention toward what is strong, valuable, and still possible within us, we begin to build a healthier and more stable sense of self. This is not about pretending to be perfect. It is about choosing thoughts that strengthen rather than diminish us.

To build self-identity, we should learn to focus less on other people’s success and more on our own values, efforts, and progress. Fulfillment does not come from measuring our lives against someone else’s image. It comes from developing an inner foundation that is honest, strong, and self-respecting. The way we see ourselves shapes the way we live, and that is why self-identity matters so deeply.

While choosing a team member, what matters most is honesty, integrity, accountability, and mindset as a whole. Choosing a team based only on smartness might hurt you in the end.

It is a difficult thing because you can measure smartness and talent through academic records, but honesty, integrity, accountability, and mindset are intrinsic factors. There is no simple metric to measure them.

So, it is a very important factor to consider, because it is worth it.

When building a team, it is an your responsibility to make your team member do the work. It's your responsibility to give the right direction.

And when having the meeting, let them explain their point of view at first and then conclude it with yours.

It's the most effective way of building a team. It is your work to inspire them to hustle more. If your team goes bad, it's not their fault, but it's your own.

Nothing is impossible without the first move. If we wait for somebody else to start, we might be waiting forever.

When we make a first move, its next move will show up along the way.

There are many things in life that simply deserve to be ignored. We often face situations where certain distractions or opportunities seem important and might offer immediate, short term happiness, but we must have the discipline to look past them.

It is difficult to turn away from these instant rewards, but it is always worth ignoring those minor perks to save our focus for the bigger picture. When we are playing the long game, what gives us momentary pleasure does not really matter. Short term gratification is often just a distraction from our true path. What matters is long term fulfillment.

We must train our awareness to distinguish between a genuine opportunity and a shiny distraction. Learn to ignore those things that do not align with your core purpose. By letting go of the trivial, we create the space necessary to build something that lasts.

We can't control the future, but we can take action in the present that might somehow direct us to the future.

This is why showing up on your meeting is important.

Showing up in that seminar might not help you today but it might in the near future.

Showing up is for the long term game which does not show result right away. It might take a while to connect all of those learning from showing up.

Just "show up" because it's worth it for long run...

Everybody is in hurry.

Everybody is confused about the situation.

Everybody else have no clue how to come out of difficult times.

Everybody is afraid.

Everybody else is not sure about that idea.

It's not only us who faces these situations; everybody else does. So don't fume and be overwhelmed, instead let it go.

This poem by Rudyard Kipling is so powerful:

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!"

Not knowing might be frustrating in times, but it's the most important step towards wisdom. The essence of not knowing is to give direction towards knowledge and experience the downside of the victory.

It is very important to keep ourselves focused of breaking that state (not knowing state); and when we go out of that state, we get enough knowledge to move forward towards growth.

The foundation of happiness is radical acceptance: acknowledging that everything happening right now is exactly what belongs in this moment. Seeking happiness is one of life’s great ironies—the more you chase it, the more you reinforce the subconscious belief that you lack it. You cannot find something you are actively proving is missing.

Instead of chasing a feeling, start acknowledging the "now." When you accept that every experience has its place and purpose, the search ends. You don't need to add anything to your life to be happy; you just need to stop believing you are incomplete. Happiness isn't a trophy to be won; it is the quiet realization that you already have everything you need to be present.
