Knowledge Vs Resourcefulness

I was fortunate enough understand something that majority of humanity does not. I learned it through two ideas, the first I heard from a close friend of mine, the second from an Robert Allen.

The first one was this

“Don’t try to remember everything, remember how to find what you need so that you can get it when you need it”.

As a result of this, I slowly started looking at solving problems rather than understanding theories. It took a long time, but now I figure out what needs to be done and then I try to figure out a way to do it. This resulted in me being able to do anything I wanted. But when I am done my mind would automatically forget all the details except the big picture.

The second one was something along the lines of

“Your brain is probably the worst place to store information”

the basic premise of this idea is that we only have a finite amount of memory. If we fill it with crap, we obviously will not have space for stuff you need to do. As a result of this idea I started writing everything down, which has now evolved in to a streamlined process flow that empties my head and eventually ends up on a categorized list ready for action.

Both there ideas have dramatically changed how I approach things and most of my negative stress is almost gone. But more than that, it allows my brain to function as it should.

You may know a truck load of things, but it is all useless unless you know how to use what you have.

What They Don’t Tell You About Motivation

At work you are usually expected to be motivated and to show results all the time. Actually it is expected of you in all spheres of life; from school to college, relationships to marriage… in short, cradle to the grave.

They expect you to keep running at a safe steady speed all the bloody time so that you don’t run out of gas.

Folks talk about motivation and creativity as if it is a light that can be switched on or off. Because of that when we are down, we feel helpless and many times give in to that helpless feeling to become useless fucktards. We give up because we feel that there is no hope.

But the way the universe is wired makes it stupid to think of stuff in linear terms. Everything follows a circle, or a wave of ups and downs. The earth rotates, the moon has phases,  seasons change and yes humans change according to time.

Women are more attuned to this change, they have their periods monthly. This affects their moods and motivation during this period. But men are less attuned as they don’t have something obvious like blood coming out of their privates to tell them.

Our moods, passion, creativity and hence motivation works in phases. There are periods of high brain activity and of low activity. The key is to go crazy when you mind is cooperating and take it easy when your minds wants to take a break.

Accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds and maintain it while you have gas; when you run out, just coast till you reach the next gas station. Don’t forget to see all the beautiful sights along the way.

My point of the whole post being that, if you ain’t motivated just take a break and coast.

Throw it on the Wall and See What Sticks

I know a lot of schmucks with a lot of cool ideas.

They are all very intelligent buggers and it was amazing to talk to them when I first got in touch with them.

They were full of ideas and strategies to conquer the world. Their in-depth knowledge about complex stuff used to blow my mind.

But now they are fucking boring to talk to. The same stuff that blew my mind before now feels like stupid rhetoric.  Here is why.

They Never Did Jack-Shit!

They kept on trying to find the perfect idea and perfect opportunity to make stuff happen. They kept on analyzing opportunities while the fucking opportunities went past them; now they have a lot of in-depth analysis on stuff they have never done (and probably never will).

I don’t know about you but I happen to think there is something fucked up with that picture. I happen to believe that the best information is gained first-hand by doing something rather than by listening to crap that somebody else says.

While they were talking about stuff, I have gone ahead and started a lot of stuff. Some have bombed and some have changed completely from the initial plan. Some of them have caught on and flourished while some are still struggling.

But I know more first-hand information about those fields than many who have spent years researching them. I have failed and lost many times, but at least I know what really works!

Sometimes people ask me to explain the business plan for an idea. But the truth is that most of the times, I have already started something before looking at the exact monetization model.

I collate the first-hand results of an experiment with additional research to tune and make a viable business out of the idea. I throw all the shit I have at the wall and see what sticks.

Now one may argue that most of my ideas are based online, hence they are not applicable to the real world. That is bullshit.In most fields you will be able to figure out a test environment to test out stuff.  The more variables you test and eliminate the more your chances of success are.

Eleanor Roosevelt said

“Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people”

I the Ahithophelian say:

“The minds that really matter make ideas reality”

Are you someone that matters or are you one of the countless great buggers alive or dead?

A flame under a pot is never seen, it slowly dies as the air is spent.

Celebrate Everytime You Fail

From the time we drop into the fucking world, we are taught to be competitive.  This arises from the very primitive need of man to survive natural selection. But this has boiled over to a point that winning is everything.

Fuck that, success has got nuts to do with winning. It has everything to do with being the best you can be.

Being the best is a voyage of self discovery more than anything else; so to put it lightly if you want to successful and you are not learning shit about yourself, you are screwed.

Here steps in failure. When we are successful we are ecstatic and rarely analyze the reasons for that success.  But failure forces you ask yourself, “what the fuck was I thinking?” It teaches you your limits and better still, forces you to look at the causes of your limitations. Now that is called the school of hard knocks.

Now failures can be fucking hard to swallow. It will fuck up your mind and thereby cause you physical, social and financial loses. But being the best you can be applies to every fucking situation, not just when you are rolling in cash and praise.

So that means, pick your fucking self up and start walking, you moron.

And the reason why you should celebrate your failures… First of all it makes you realize what it feels like, so that you don’t fuck up the same thing in the same way twice. The second reason is to appreciate the lessons learned from failing. But the best fucking reason is that your enemies will think twice before fucking with you; they will realize you got balls of steel.

And most people don’t fuck with motherfuckers with balls of steel.

Grow a Brain Fuckface

When we are small, we are real curious mofos. It kinda funny coz till the time we learn to walk, we are encouraged to try new thing like falling etc. But as soon as parents see that you are out and about doing you business then you get blocked from trying new stuff. Do you think there is a better way to stop rapid Fucking brain development?

Well now that is all said and done we end up with you and me. Fucking followers of the normal rules and way of thought. Now if your aim in life is to be an excess burden to the dying earth, that’s completely fine. But if like me you wanna carry your own fucking weight, you gotta wake the fuck up.

I know I called you a fuckface, if you came here looking for an apology. Go look in a fucking mirror.

Who The Fuck Is Ahithophel

I dunno if you folks heard of this thing called the bible and a dude call King David. Apparently he was a fucking wise dude cum prophet cum ambitious mofo who helped David’s son in his revolt against David. It did not work out too well and he ended up committing suicide.

You must be thinking “Ok, so what the fuck?”

The thing is that this Ahithophel dude was a fucking genius. And he went for what he wanted with everything he got. So this blog is to show you fuckers how to get about your life and make the most out of it.

We leave the safety off around here.

Later then.
