"Freedom isn’t working from a beach in Bali for a corporation you hate." Most of us think we’re free just because we’re not physically restrained. But as Naval Ravikant brilliantly points out, true freedom is much deeper. It’s not just about the ability to do what you want; it’s about choosing not to do things you don’t want to do. It’s about breaking free from the expectations of society, family, and even our own conditioning. Freedom isn’t working from a beach in Bali for a corporation you hate. It’s not driving a luxury car to impress people you don’t even know. It’s about owning your time, being able to say ‘No’ without fear, being authentically yourself, and living life on your own terms. Most people will never experience this kind of freedom because they’re too busy chasing the next promotion, the next luxury item, or the next validation from others. So, ask yourself: Are you truly free? Or are you just a well-paid slave to someone else’s dream? Video Credits: Naval Ravikant #Freedom #Mindset #NavalRavikant #LifeDesign #RevelionMethod

Ambition When you’re ambitious but don’t cut corners you’ll go very far Quick wins kill many businesses It’s not because quick wins are bad but because the obsession with quick wins is a sign of lack of ambition Sometimes all it takes is one or two decisions to unlock growth but many a time you need to put in the work With that being said the day to day decisions and tasks only work if you’re going to the right direction overall “Picking the direction that you’re heading in in every decision is far, far more important than what force you apply. Just pick the right direction to start walking in, and then start walking.” ~ Naval Ravikant

Education is about rigor and curiosity. Period. What they do not teach you at/in #K12Schools?📗 What #Collegeeducation/HEIs dont address?📗 Why and where #careercounseling is not adding upto ##careerintelligence 👇 P.S: 😁😁😁 Feels vindicated with my personal/pet thesis in career exploration. 📢📢📢Proof: Correlate with my periodic posts herein this platform since 2021.📖📖📖 Plug: Adithya Havaldar + Kaashyap BK my mentees are building something epic and along these lines at Kalative and do connect and help them if this is aligned ( for/with any school leaders/educationists/school owners)

This is something that comes up regularly in my conversations. And I reiterate, being a scientist isn't about the degrees you hold; it's about the mindset you embrace. Whether you're a self-taught enthusiast or a seasoned researcher, curiosity is the common thread that binds us all. Inquisitiveness, knows no bounds or credentials; it's a fundamental human trait that drives us to explore the unsolved problems and tackle challenges head-on. Passionately curious? You are a scientist.

"Be more selfish" ~ Naval Ravikant Here's why: The value after gaining traction with your business, social media content or job comes from compounding. And if you don't enjoy what you do it is more likely that you stop doing the thing (eventually). So enjoy what you work on and who you work with so you can sustain it. If you can't sustain it...why do it? just for quick money? yes, you can but what if it doesn't come quick? If there is an alternative that both solves for "joy" and "money" why not choose the alternative? fear? false beliefs? perhaps... I'm not here to convince you. Just 2 truths I've found: 1) The things you dislike doing hit twice, 1st in suffering, then in quitting before compound interest kicks in. 2) When you do things you like, you create better work that does not seem like work. Why spend a life (or big part of it) ignoring what you're really interested in? Wouldn't that be the definition of a wasted life, my friend? ~ Jordan Kruk 🚫 DON'T CLICK (if you don’t like Naval): https://lnkd.in/encwZcJ2

Thank you Naga Venkata Vamsi Krishna Chaitanya Malluri for the upvote! Rightly said, education is about rigour and curiosity. We believe that curiosity is the driving force behind all significant achievements. It keeps us relevant, fuels our quest for knowledge, and guides our search for meaningful answers. To quench our thirst for curiosity in the modern age that is surrounded by different sorts of contents, we have narrowed down to the basics to create a comprehensive program that contains 21st century essential life skills, thereby merging the necessities of today with the wants of the upcoming generation. “Kalative, Something that truly matters”📚🚀

The man always surprises with his clarity of thought! Here, Naval Ravikant challenges conventional measures of intelligence and success. He argues that having a formal education, like a PhD, doesn't necessarily make one a scientist. Instead, it's a natural curiosity, rigorous inquiry, and the ability to discover new things that truly define the human spirit. Linking intelligence to achieving personal desires, suggesting that real smarts show when we effectively get what we truly want from life. This perspective not only questions traditional academic metrics but also emphasizes the importance of setting the right goals. It’s a fresh reminder that true success is deeply personal and not one-size-fits-all. This notion pushes us to not only strive for what we desire but to also desire wisely. It's a compelling reminder to align our ambitions with our true interests, stepping away from conventional benchmarks of success. Are we pursuing what truly matters to us, or merely chasing externally imposed ideals?

We often hear people say, "Find out what your passion is, and then follow that passion to make a living out of it." However, I'm sure many of us choose a particular field and say, "Yes, this is my passion. I am going to follow my passion." Unfortunately, after a few days, our motivation dies, frustration sets in, and we give up, right? Recently, I was reading a book called "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant,". He says, "If it entertains you now but will bore you someday, it's a distraction. Keep looking for what your passion is." This statement opened my mind to think about certain things in a different way. You might have a question: "How will I know if this particular thing will bore me someday in the future if it's exciting for me now? I cannot predict the future." Indeed, I had the same question. However, I believe you need to ask yourself, "What is that thing that I will want to do even if I do not get paid? What is the thing I will want to do when I'm not feeling like doing anything at all?" You can then evaluate it with what Naval stated. Perhaps you will find your passion in the answers to these questions. With a lot of things going on in my wee little brain, I am still trying to find what my passion is😁. Have you found yours?
