While living in a world of instant gratification and getting things done immediately, seeking sacrifice becomes important. The Society seeks experiences that are meant for instant consumption, related to the current period of time and are subject to urgent action. All this comes from a place of greed and even though it is satisfying inContinue reading “Seeking Sacrifice”
Good Reasoning
“Sir, you are giving a reason for it; but that will not make it right. You may have a reason why two and two should make five; but they will still make but four.” – Samuel Johnson Reliable reasoning is the building blocks of a strong argument. Not all reasons are good and not allContinue reading “Good Reasoning”

The second IContinue reading “The Bat, Ball Problem”
Mindless Repetition and Deliberate Practice

It’s similar to being a factory worker who is carrying out the same action repeatedly and can do it blindfolded after some mindless sessions practice. This type of practice is seen in passive actions like tying shoelaces and folding clothes. There’s aContinue reading “Mindless Repetition and Deliberate Practice”
Showing Up Every Day
Around this time last year, I had the thought of starting my blog. It has been one of the best decisions of my life. I’m highly inspired by Seth Godin’s idea of showing up every day. When you write and publish daily, you get forced to look around and find things to write about. TheContinue reading “Showing Up Every Day”
