If you argue with a fool, you are the fool; you are wasting your time.

Attempting to change someone’s opinion is a waste of time. The probability of succeeding in persuading them is low, the probability of failing and causing them to dislike you is high.

Most people are ego invested in their opinions; if you express any disagreement with their opinion, they take it as an insult.

Simply appear to agree (nod your head) and move on.

Only attempt to change a person’s opinion if it is absolutely critical.

If you keep them busy with their basic needs, they'll forget about the freedom they lost.

Mainstream media wants you to be busy with false narratives and propoganda so that you can't even see the real problem.

Discussions are always better than arguments.

The argument is to find out WHO is right,
and the discussion is to find out WHAT is right.

THE PAST IS DEAD.

You can’t change what has already happened. Thinking about it is useless to you. Replaying prior mistakes in your mind only causes you greater suffering. You can be addicted to a certain kind of suffering; you can be addicted to mental anguish, and hence, you keep thinking negative thoughts.

Purge yourself of negative thoughts and emotions. Bring yourself to the present moment because life happens now.

Avoid processed and packed food.

It contains preservatives, acid regulators, coloring and flavoring agents, antioxidants, stabilizers, and additives.

What you eat has an artificial taste and color, not a natural one.

Eat fresh, whole, and raw foods without highly processing them.
Avoid deep-fried food. Make regular items like spices (masala), pickles, and chutney at home if possible.

Even many brands promote products as ayurvedic and healthy, but they still have to add some preservative agents to make them last longer.

You can eat it sometime, but don't make it your diet.

यथा चतुर्भिः कनकं परीक्ष्यते
निघर्षणच्छेदनतापताडनैः।
तथा चतुर्भिः पुरुषः परीक्ष्यते
त्यागेन शीलेन गुणेन कर्मणा ॥

- चाणक्य नीती, अध्याय ५, श्लोक २

जिस तरह सोने की परख घिसने से, तोडने से, गरम करने से और पिटने से होती है, वैसे हि मनष्य की परख विद्या, शील, गुण और कर्म से होती है।
व्यक्ति का परीक्षण वह कितना त्याग करता है, उसका आचरण कैसा है, उसमे गुण कौनसे है और उसका व्यवहार कैसा है इससे होता है।

As gold is tested in four ways by rubbing, cutting, heating and beating – so a man should be tested by these four things: his renunciation, his conduct, his qualities, and his actions.

Don't stress about your reputation until you have created it.

- Kunal Shah (CRED Founder)

Should you quit your job to start a business?

NO.

Build the business at your job.

Slowly reduce effort at your job and scale your business.

Then wait for your firm to lay you off and get paid a severance.

Never quit. Just stop performing - bleed out and take the payouts.
