"Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life. If you have 2 choices to make, and they’re relatively equal choices, take the path more difficult and more painful in the short term. Because, as you know, most of the gains in life come from suffering in the short term so you can get paid in the long term. For example, things like learning and exercising regularly may not be fun in short-term, but in long-term they have a positive net effect. So generally you want to lean into things with short-term pain, but long-term gain." - Naval Ravikant #longtermthinking #continuouslearning #compounding

Rethinking the "Hard Choices" Mantra We often hear that "easy choices lead to a hard life" and vice versa. While there's truth to the value of embracing challenges, it's crucial to remember: Easy doesn't mean bad: Sometimes, the easiest path leads to a perfectly fulfilling and enjoyable life. Don't shame yourself for choosing convenience or comfort when it aligns with your goals and well-being. Not all pain leads to progress: Suffering isn't a prerequisite for growth. Blindly taking the "hard road" can lead to burnout and missed opportunities. Choose challenges wisely, focusing on those that contribute to your long-term goals and happiness. Easy can be part of the easy life: Sometimes, the seemingly obvious path hides unexpected challenges, while the "easy" choice might lead to more ease than you realize. Don't be afraid to explore and trust your intuition. Life is complicated. Remember, a balanced approach is key. Embrace both challenge and ease, prioritize well-being, and make conscious choices that align with your values and long-term vision. The "easy life" might not be as far-fetched as you think.

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, a time of reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices of our service members, I wanted to highlight an important lesson from USMC Major General Oliver Smith. In the heat of the Chosin Reservoir battle, General Smith famously declared, 'Retreat hell! We are attacking in another direction.' This perspective exemplifies not just military acumen but a powerful mindset and strategic resilience as well. When faced with unexpected challenges, having the courage and adaptability to pivot cannot be overstated. Embracing a nimble, growth mindset allows us to see beyond immediate setbacks. Like General Smith, we’re not backing down; we’re boldly charting a new path in a direction that was not part of the original plan. This approach keeps us agile, prepared, and always moving forward, turning potential defeats into strategic opportunities for advancement. This Memorial Day, please take some time to reflect on the lessons of being adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking that we can learn from those who served and sacrificed. #memorialday #honorthefallen #nimble #growthmindset #veteran #reflection #resilience #grit

Happy New Year, everyone! ‘ Play long - term game with long term People’ Naval Ravikant As we kick off this brand-new chapter, I've been doing some thinking and reading. You know, life's a lot like a game—sometimes short, sometimes long. But here's what I believe: the real victories often come from playing the long-term game with the right people. So, here's my wish for you all: May this year be filled with genuine connections and adventures that speak to your future. Surround yourself with those who share your vision and values, and let's dive into challenges that help us grow for the long haul. Let's make choices today that set the stage for our tomorrows—let's build something that lasts. Let this year be of chasing dreams, setting goals that matter, and embracing the journey with those who are in it for the long run. Happy New Year, folks!

The clarity of thought from Naval Ravikant is simply outstanding. Problems happen when we have too many desires or goals. Happiness tied to money. Money tied to status and so on so forth. What is that one thing you desire and are so willing to work towards it? Doesn't mean you can't have it all but if you focus for a long time on just that one thing, I believe others are by products and you don't chase them. They become incidental. This hold true for both personal and professional lives, esp founders who build too much, too many features etc etc or keep chasing funding also. Focus on one thing and then build on top. #choices

I had the pleasure of attending the Surface Naval Association Symposium this week on behalf of Defense Unicorns. Overall the event was great but this sign at elevators (and a following interaction) gave me a chuckle. While we could comment on the need to shut things down for upgrades, I actually applaud the desire to modernize and take steps to do so. One of the side effects of the modernization in one of the elevators was that if more than 3 floors were selected, it would reset all inputs. My fellow passengers and I had a fun puzzle to solve to ensure everyone got to their floor! Luckily we got there pretty quickly after some forced collaboration :) — solution was that on the way up we’d select the lowest floors first and add each additional floor after one cleared. The immediate joke (and therefor chuckle) that came to mind was, “the hotel must be paying for the wrong subscription because selecting 4 floors is a feature of the more expensive plan”. While I’m sure we’ve all experienced frustrations around subscriptions like that, it doesn’t actually mean subscriptions are bad in my Millenial brain. I actually love subscription models because they refocus the conversation around outcomes instead of inputs that we hope lead to outcomes. I don’t love feature paywall subscription levels though :( So what do we think? Am I alone in liking subscription models when implemented well?
