In this noisy world, we have to work hard to hear ourselves. If not, Mr. Zuck/others will keep you busy scrolling.

Peace and War
Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.
Martin Luther King said above lines to one of his colleagues when asked about peace army that he was building. Organization ability of Dr. King gets attributed as the one of most important skill leading to his success.

Well Filled vs Well Formed Mind
In this era of Internet, where any information needed is couple of clicks away, we should work towards developing a well formed mind that is creative and think out of the box. Industrial age education which still is dominant in our society, focuses on filling the mind with myriad of information and set of rules that were needed to create soldiers, assembly line workers etc.
We should stop quizzing our children for random facts and figures and instead guide them to develop skills and consciousness of creative mind. A mind that is original, pure, uncluttered and unbiased. We should teach them how to find information, validate them, question them and derive meaningful outcomes.
Cheers!
Resistance will bury you
Hitler wanted to be an artist. At eighteen he took his inheritance of 700 kronen and moved to Vienna to live and study. He applied to the Academy of Fine Arts and later to the school of architecture . Have you ever seen one of his paintings? I don’t think so. Resistance beat him. Call it overstatement, but as per Steven Pressfield: it was easier for Hitler to start World War II than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas.
Cheers!

Job Interview
“What does it take to be successful here?” This is a great question to ask in any job interview. It engages the interviewer and gets you a detailed response. The magic of this question is that if someone gives you guidance, they will watch to see if you follow their advice and have a peronal stake in seeing you succeed.

Role of Economic Engine
Economic engines should serve the humanity, not vice versa. Many world leaders are ignoring this key principle and making policies that are making humanity suffer, citing economic reasons.
These leaders have forgotten the origin of the economic engine and understanding of why we created these engines in the first place. As an individual, it is time to pause and ponder about our current life position. We need to understand that role of money is to enhance our well-being and not the other way around.
