Couldn't help sharing this 🫣

Confidence is the key, you see, To set the table and let it be. No need to chase, no need to beg, When your worth shines like a golden egg. With every stride and every feat, You beckon others to take a seat. For when you know what you bring, You're the feast, the song to sing. So stand tall, don't hesitate, Let your confidence radiate. For those who hunger will surely find, A banquet of greatness in your mind. If this felt relatable and made you feel happy, consider sharing it with peers too.

I met my girlfriend during college, 5 years ago. We were so much in love. I remember we used to go on dates to picnics, museums and the works. I spent and invested a lot of money and time in this relationship. I feel that my life is purposeless now that she has left me. Her father is a very high ranking government official. He has gotten marriage proposals from very well endowed political connections. Apparently some ex-CM's son is out in the marriage market looking. I don't know why but I still thought we would make it. Like, nothing can come between us. She texted me last night that she was leaving me because I only make 14LPA. My hands are still trembling. I want to go be the best version of myself and simultaneously think that the train tracks are looking comfy to sleep on.

I was working at a Start-up more than a year back. We were required to either raise funds or do something else, against what we wanted to do, to move forward. One day, the co founders got us on a call (<10 people team), and explained the situation to us. Either an acquisition or a round of funding was the only chance. We hadn't raised any round up until then. Unfortunately, we had to bid goodbye to something that we were passionately working on. Lay-offs! But, we got 2 months notice. And on top of that, we were encouraged to prepare for interviews throughout those 2 months (while giving minimal importance to work). I literally cried multiple times because of the thought of having to leave the amazing team. The founders helped us with all the support, and made use of their network to help us get through as well. We're still in touch with the team, and all of us are at relatively good positions now. (Although anonymous, just wanted to share this out there with all of you folks. And I try to 'help it forward' as much as possible)

Hello Bs & Gs, Thanks for a positive response to the last post: https://share.gvine.app/EDm3me9JnJSnD3d17 A quick note for today. Over the years, being a generalist, I've realized that it's very tough to know when we're bringing the right impact or not. In the case of Devs/Designers/Other specialists: The output is quicker and tells the story - an amazing UI/UX, or building well working products. For generalists, the feedback loop is much longer, it's very unclear what it will amount to (especially at startups), it's the reason why being a generalist is looked down upon, by some people. My realization has been this: over a 1-2 year period, when you look back at your work, it's the picking that determines how you feel about what you did. And also how others feel about how you did. PICKING: Knowing what to work on. What to A/B test. What 0 to 1s to pursue. Should you prioritize product idea A or product idea B. Should you experiment with growth channel A or growth channel B. EXECUTION: Taking what you pick from 0 to 1. Knowing when to take it from 1-10. Working to make it happen. Eventually, most days are execution days. Whether you do good work depends on how well researched & well thought out the 'picking' was. So pick well, don't under-invest in that stage. Take out time every now and then to course correct. Know what to pick.

I know it’s early, but it’s an extended weekend 😅 Share an article / post that made you go ‘Aha’ in the recent past. Let me start with one - would love to hear opinions on this. https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Ffamily%2Farchive%2F2018%2F12%2Frich-people-happy-money%2F577231%2F
