Article - Sudhir Pai

Having worked with ICICI Bank, Kotak Group and Motilal Oswal Securities in the past, and interacting with many small and big clients, these are 5 steps, all successful investors follow :

1) Have a clear plan :

Remember the rule of 6P (Proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance). Correct planning cuts losses, increase financial gains and avoid the pain and panic of financial or lifestage crisis.

2) Upgrade yourself :

Atleast one hour of your day (preferably early mornings), must be set aside, to read newspapers like Economic Times, Business Standard and keep ourselves updated with what changes are happening in our society, nation and world, in terms of politics, technology, innovation, economy etc.

3) Network :

Network = Networth.

Please invest time to develop and maintain friendship with moderate minded, progressive human beings who believe in Win Win ecosystem. Ensure you also contribute in terms of helping and reaching out to them. 

4) Live a simple life :

We must understand the difference between wants and needs. Take a stock of your daily and monthly expenses and regularly do smart budgeting to ensure that we are not spending on unwanted things. Do yoga and meditation . Follow a disciplined lifestyle and eat healthy food.

5) Hire a life and investment coach :

It is always better to invest some money to hire a life coach, who will guide us through happy and sad days. Even the best movie actor or sports celebrity has such life coach who help them to keep a balanced attitude toward life and career.

Are we living in computer simulated universe controlled by aliens or higher powers ?

Are we living in a computer simulated universe? Imagine, if you, me, dogs, cats, fishes and every person and all those non living things in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game of the size of universe, we would not necessarily know it. The seemingly weird  idea that the universe is a simulation may sounds more like the plot of “The Matrix,” but it is also a legitimate scientific hypothesis where lot of scientists are working and trying to understand. Researchers debated, researched, pondered over the controversial notion again and again.

Such existential-sounding hypotheses often tend to be essentially untestable and may be laughed off, but some researchers think they could find experimental evidence that we are living in a computer game. One idea is that the programmers might cut corners to make the simulation easier to run. “If there is an underlying simulation of the universe that has the problem of finite computational resources, just as we do, then the laws of physics have to be put on a finite set of points in a finite volume,” said Zohreh Davoudi, a physicist at MIT. “Then we go back and see what kind of signatures we find that tell us we started from non-continuous spacetime.”

Nobel Peace Prize 2011 - Ms. Ellen Sirleaf

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Born 29 Oct 1938), age 79, is a Liberian politician, and Nobel Peace Prize 2011 winner. She is 24th and current President of Liberia since 2006.

Ellen is often referred as "Iron Lady of Liberia" for her strong will and political persistence, and is Africa's first democratically elected female leader. Her political path has not been an easy one and she was imprisoned in 1980's for criticizing government policies in Liberia.

In her book, This Child will be great, she writes - If asked to describe my homeland in one sentence, I may say something like this: Liberia is a wonderful, beautiful, mixed up country, struggling mightily to find itself.

Given more space, however, I would certainly elaborate.

Liberia is some 43,000 square miles of lush, well-watered land on the bulge of West Africa, a country slightly larger than the state of Ohio, a lilliputian nation with a giant history. It has a population of 3.5 million people from some sixteen ethnic groups speaking some sixteen indigenous languages plus English. It has never known hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, or other natural disasters, only the occasional flood and the more frequent havoc wreaked by man. Liberia is complicated. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Liberia is a conundrum wrapped in complexity and stuffed inside a paradox. Then again, it was born that way.

In 2011 - She won Nobel Peace Prize for her relentless efforts to bring peace, prosperity and progress for Liberia.

Mashelkar Kaka - The man passionate about watches for 40 years.

Article : Sudhir Pai

I remember going to his shop at the age of 12 when I got my first watch as a gift and in six months, there was some problem and needed to repair it urgently.

As I looked in his 50 square feet cute little shop, I was amazed by the collection of watches he had which had come for repair and the new ones he had put for sale.

This shop is located at Thakurdwar Naka as you keep walking slightly towards C.P.Tank on left hand side. The shop is in South Mumbai area. And Mashelkar Kaka (That's Uncle in English), as we fondly call him, has been passionate about discussing, repairing and selling all types of watches for last 40 years.

There is a child like twinkle in his eyes even today, as he discusses about clocks and watches. And we take his advice before buying new watches.

His only advice - Avoid Chinese watches and buy Indian ones 😊

Few days back, I had visited his shop to get my watch repaired and he repaired it in 7 minutes. And as usual shared a cup of tea and some happy moments discussing about clocks, watches and electronic gadgets.

I wish, Mashelkar Kaka keeps on following his passion of repairing watches for next 100 years ...

So Folks - Next time, if you are in South Mumbai and your watch needs repair, do visit him.

What is courage?

To accept the challenge of unknown inspite of all fear and insecurities and work towards it is courage.

Courage is the ability to come out of logic and reasoning of past experiences, challenge status quo, try out something new, something different and emerge out victorious. Courage is not the absence of fear. Infact, it is acknowledging the presence of fear, accepting fear and overcoming it.

It is infact, the ability to let go of our past experiences and venture out in the unknown. Courage is not essentially positive thinking but more of possibility thinking. Positive thinking may help to reduce fear, but possibility thinking will help us to overcome future, think of innovative solutions and ultimately emerge out as winner in life.

Courage is the self-affirmation of being inspite of the fact of non-being. It is an act of asserting our inner powers and strength over our weakness.

When I first decided to quit job and start something on my own, I had lot of fear about future, about financial burden and how I will manage my career. It took almost 5 years to fight with my fear and ultimately I quit my job and started my consultancy business.

I wrote 2 books, first one was Think Like A Winner, which has proven new age techniques of how to develop a winning mindset. and second one is Live Your Dreams, about those 10 ordinary real life people who became extra ordinary because they followed their heart and pursued their dreams.

3 steps of getting a dream job

If you are looking for getting a dream job, then you need to take out time to think, plan, strategize and take intelligent actions.

During my various coaching sessions with job seekers and their subsequent success in getting a dream job, I have come to conclusion that below 3 steps can help you land in your dream job:

1) Clarity:

We should be very clear in terms of job profile and salary. This is first essential step. I mean the candidate has to be 100% crystal clear as to what exactly is he expecting out of the job he / she is going to do.

With increased number of options, it is very natural to feel excited to make an attempt to all available options. This is biggest mistake a job seeker makes while searching a dream job and often land up in a boring job and get stuck there and remain frustrated throughout the life.

Be very clear as to what are we expecting out of the job.

2) Create an online resume:

Everyone will send a resume. But you can be better than that. You can create a personal website. Make it look very professional. Showcase your enthusiasm. Show your creative side.

It will only send a positive message to recruiters that you are not only a go getter but also a creative person.

3) Brush up LinkedIn profile:

A professional LinkedIn profile is must for those who are looking for getting a dream job. It is also a valuable resource for those who are trying to search a perfect candidate for their job vacancy.

So, it is very essential to brush up your LinkedIn profile on regular basis. And your profile must show a pleasant professional outlook.

So, spend a quality time upgrading your LinkedIn profile on regular basis.
