“When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all, and the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come”
Childhood song. So powerful.
Got a thought - Instead of focusing on all aspects of Graphic Designing. Hire artists who design the major artwork - the messaging. You utilise that artwork creatively through fonts, positioning, etc…
The custom is just 🤌
Some more ideas on the custom:
The quotes are just superb. They spark reflection.
For example:
“The recipe for perpetual ignorance is best satisfied with your opinions and content for your knowledge” - Elbert Hubbard
The number 13 used to bother me a lot. Now it hardly crosses my mind. It was an irrational belief that it signifies bad luck. Action → Proves The Belief as Wrong → Subs acting like a layer of glue.
Reminds me of Dune.
While playing RoM, I watched Dune many times. The music and the story left an impact on me that I can’t really describe in words.
“Fear is the mind-killer”
House Arteries from the Dune Sketchbook is my favourite from the series.
There’s an App here called as Ixigo Trains.
During the journey, they use the phone’s GPS to give a live transmission of the current location. However, its not really that accurate - because of network coverage.
Wouldn’t it make more sense if they had a GPS in the train itself and broadcasted that instead? Could be a Train Wifi or a way to latch onto the Train’s GPS and get a live feed instead?
And, I don’t really understand why the estimates of ETA are so off. How can it jump around by about 25 minutes every few mins? Seems to me that, if its linked to the train itself and the passengers on the train can tap into it - it can just make things much better.
Or better time management - showing up on time.
Recently purchased Ulysses. I enjoy writing on it.
Thinking of getting UWX - to start writing for my product.
Goal determines your system, not the other way round.
Impossible Goal → Disrupts and simplifies system.
Remove more than you think.
Simplify and optimise.
It’s not as risky as it feels.
Time isn’t a reality - it’s a tool.
“The reason it feels risky is because we hate loss.”
Focus on the bottleneck. The one thing if you achieve, you win.
The One Thing - Must Read!
Ideas and People change the world.
Maintaining the status quo is not how you grow.
Fewer than 1% of the people have influenced more than 99% of the change of the world.
Just finished reading “Public Speaking for Success”.
I believe this is a book you must revisit often and brush up. Good communication and confidence in conversations are important skills.
I think I feel the recon now. The emotional instability and feeling drowsy. Maybe it was a game I played in the afternoon. How could a game trigger? I didn’t take action towards my goals - so it could have triggered. I could have done something else…
Not to live in the past, but to correct the actions for the future.
Might just close a sale for $225
