For a week i was thinking what were the biggest things that i have changed my minds on. I am sharing some :
1) Science can not answer the big questions of our lives (why are we here, what are our purpose, how to lead a meaningful life etc).
2) Leaders can be introvert and quiet people
3) Number of friends is a vanity metric , it is the quality of friendships that matter
4) Every major (good/bad ) change comes from the brain of one person or a very very small group of people
5)Being presentable is important. How you look , dress, speak- matters a lot .
6) Working hard or making money- should not come at the expense of mental health or physical fitness
7) In a world of data-driven decisions, human instincts are still incredibly important
8 ) Less is more. Having too many options is as bad as having no options
9) Just because people are presented with facts, does not mean people will come to logical conclusions. Independent rational thinkers are rare people
10) Renting your time for money will not give you financial independence in long run . Using leverages(labor/capital/code/media) will
11) The journey is more important than the destination
12) The world is built by people no smarter than you. Anything is learnable with focused effort
