Rules for Success by Simon Sinek

Simon Sinek, the author of Start With Why, has some insightful information to share about success.

1.      Do what you want

He says that if you want to do something, just do it. Don’t make assumptions, don’t think if you can do it or not, in simple terms, don’t be confused about execution of your ideas. You can only succeed when you work on the project. If you don’t succeed at first, don’t worry. You will succeed sooner or later. Just keep trying, give your best short. But make sure that you don’t get in other people’s way.

2.      Don’t be the problem

There is an old saying, if you can’t beat them, join them, just don’t be a problem for them. That’s something you should know when you are competing someone or when you are in the market. A good example of this would be to create products that people want and not those that you think are good. Because in the end people are the ones who will buy your product.

3.      Always help your fellows

It is important to understand that in any business you will need people at your side. This is only possible when you have friends. How can you make friends? Listen to them. Be with them and make things better combined with them. Help them when they need it. This is the only way you can make things better for yourself and for others.

4.      Remember who you are

Understand that you are nothing. As Simon Sinek says, you are worthy of a Styrofoam cup only. So, in reality, you are nothing but the position you hold is everything. People respect a position. They don’t respect you. So, focus on being something that can impact you directly. Don’t go after positions because they are vanity and they will vanish in the long run.

5.      Be the last to speak

Nelson Mandela was famous for speaking. He was famous because he gave awe-inspiring speeches. People used to listen to him and implement what he had to share. Once Nelson Mandela was asked why was he so famous? He replied that he is always the last person to speak.

When you speak last, others think that you have heard them properly. And they are more keen to listen to you now.

How Accurate Are the Body Fat and Other Metrics on the Etekcity Smart Scale?

The Etekcity Smart Body Fat Scale is an excellent tool for tracking your health at home, but it's crucial to understand how its technology works and what to expect from the body composition metrics it provides. Understanding the Technology: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) The Etekcity scale, like most consumer-grade smart scales, uses a technology called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Here's a simple breakdown of how it works: The Process: When you step on the scale with bare feet, it sends a very small, harmless electrical current through your body. The Measurement: This current travels at different speeds through different body tissues. Water and muscle, which are highly conductive, allow the current to pass through quickly. Fat tissue, which has lower water content, creates more resistance (or impedance). The Calculation: The scale measures this resistance and, using a mathematical formula that takes into account your height, age, and gender (entered in t...

Copy Everything Intelligently - Story of Rocket Internet

  Being Innovative: Copy Everything & Give Credit Another lesson to learn about innovation is to not start everything from scratch but to replicate whatever is available in the market. A good example of this is Rocket Internet. You must be wondering what I am talking about but let me explain. Rocket Internet is one company that is revolutionizing the world. It is making a German company that buys startups or create its own startups in countries with small or mid-sized market. Why is rocket internet thriving? Because it focuses on replication. The company replicates all ideas of the first world and introduces them to the third world. Its investments include Daraz, Carmudi, Foodpanda, Delivery hero to name a few. Rocket Internet has been labelled by many as a copycat or a company that thrives off other businesses’ success. But does calling it a copycat hurt its bottomline? Nope! In fact, it has grown faster than many other businesses. What Rocket Internet does is that it ...

Don’t Reinvent the Wheel. Innovate it

  It is not about building something new or extra ordinary that we call innovation. It is about TRYING (see the emphasis on the word). In short, innovation is not to bring something new to the market. Something that was not tried before, but to failing, and then re-trying it. People are obsessed with bringing new products to the market. Often these products are useless and don’t serve any purpose. They say that these things will revamp the world we live in. That’s not always needed. Civic innovation is about making current standards better. Of making things that actually help people and bring something positive that people can like and cherish and actually PAY FOR. Let’s take an example of Karachi BRT project. The BRT project is a connecting bus transit project around Karachi. It makes sense and that’s why it was started. But think about it from a broader perspective. A project that is taking more than 15 years to complete is better or a ride hailing app that was made in just a...
