Become More Than A Pawn

Let’s first understand the term “Pawn”- In chess, there are pieces, and one of the pieces is called ‘pawn’. There are also points for each piece and the lowest point somehow they give to the pawn is one point. But there is also a term in chess that’s called “promotion”, meaning if a pawn reaches at the last of the rank from its starting position then that pawn is replaced by a new queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color. Now, just think about it. These pawns have the power to change themselves to a queen, bishop, knight, and rook If they are alive and reach the last rank. This is the same pawn that they gave point one. And after promotion, they got more power and points as well. I think we are all aligned yet. And if not, You need to understand chess a little bit, at least what is pawn and pawn promotion. You are Valuable- We sometimes think of ourselves as a pawn, as something not as valuable as others are. We judge ourselves a lot. It could be because of circumstances or peo...

What to Do When You Feel Stuck/Empty Inside

We all face this issue that, in this fantastic life, you sometimes feel stuck. You think life is not worth living or why things are happening the way they are happening. You feel empty, frustrated, or anxious. And at that time, a hell lot of issues come to your mind, and you got no clue how to act in that situation. You can listen my full podcast related this topic on Spotify . Role of Body and Mind- I think that you must be aware of this issue before this comes your way. Because this is a huge problem. This can lead to a point where you can think of ending your life. Though these issues are very temporary but it can give you very heavy trouble. This time, your mind and body both will not work the way it should work, so, be aware of it first. Or at least just know from this blog that your mind and body are very much responsible for what you’ll do in this troublesome situation. When this situation arises, most of the people, I know, don’t eat. Though I understand the situation of it. If...

Knowledge vs Limited Knowledge

A year ago, I've uploaded the first episode of my podcast, and the title I gave, was "Story of a fish and a boy". At that time, I wanted to understand the dynamic of podcasting so I just create my self-made story though I often use this story with others. So, what’s the story- A little kid found a fish, took that away from water because he thought fish could die because of water and he took action then fish died. End of story. Things to understand- Little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. That kid, though his intention was pure and good because of his knowledge, he took the wrong decision and that fish died.  I think life is like that, sometimes your intention is good but you’ve had not that much knowledge or information and because of your less understanding of things, scenarios become bad. My Philosophy- I think knowledge is very vast. you can’t know everything. When you think that you’ve got so much knowledge, it’s your lack of knowledge that is telling you that you...

What I’m Doing Right Now

Something to Say- Years ago, I was writing about what I'm going through in life, and till today, I write as well. When I look back, I introspect myself what was the thought process back then, how was my writing, and many things I get to know in that process. I’m writing these blogs not to give you some bits of advice, some tips, though I know you can take that too. The reason behind the writing, as well as podcasting, is that I’m creating all this so that I can look back after many years. This is documenting my journey, which I think could be helpful for many of us. It’s a journey of mine and may be It can help you one way or the other. I think we all have something to say but sometimes we think that it’s not worthy enough to say or we become confused about how it’s gonna help others. The way I understand people, is by dig deep into the conversation with other people so that I can understand his/her point of view. And what I’ve found is very much interesting because people love sim...

Time Management Strategies | The 80/20 Principle | Productivity

The problem that we have in life is how to manage our time, there are many things to do, there are many things to know, there are many things to learn, there are many things to experience. How should you manage your time?  Every person has a way to manage it. But then comes a principle that’s called the “80/20 principle or Pareto Principle. The word Pareto named after economist Vilfredo Pareto. The Pareto Principle or the “80/20 Principle” asserts that – 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of the causes. Differently, we can say that a minority of causes, inputs, or efforts usually lead to a majority of the results, outputs or rewards. This is contrary to what people expect in most of the scenarios. You can do a lot of work but if you are not doing it correctly that is your 20 percent, then you are not going to get maximum results. Your 20 percent of time spent are deciding 80 percent of the consequences you are going to face. 80 percent of results come from 20 percent o...

Me As A Beggar

One day, My mother and father were going somewhere, I think to a hospital because my mother was not very well. I was in my home, my father started the car and they both were about to leave. When I got to know that I just run to my balcony and shouted that I’m coming too. After some minutes, I luckily joined. And we went to the hospital, though I was in the car when we reached, and my father and mother went there. I was alone, doing something on my phone and then a lady came and asked me for some money, of course, she was a beggar. I checked my pockets and I found nothing, I realized, I forgot my wallet, didn’t have anything to give to that lady. I said to her, I didn’t have a penny to give you. I was so honest that she could see that I’d forgotten my wallet or I had no money. This incident is very important for me because, after that incident, I’ve realized that Time is a very crucial thing. I realized that I didn’t have a penny to give, what a coincidence this is. We both had noth...

A Little Philosophy

Life is very basic. There are ways to play it smartly. There are ways to enjoy it. There are ways to manage everything. The question here is, do you know your game? Do you know what are the odds of winning and losing? Do you know you are in the right game?   What I've done till now, I’ve understood that if you are not enjoying what you are doing then It’ll not give you enough value though it can give you an understanding of yourself and the dynamic of how things are. You’ve got the power to choose. A choice is a Power. So, use it.   Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe said that “Things that matter most Must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”   The rule is very clear and basic that you need to do things where you are good at and that you enjoy the most.   I consider myself the happiest person in the world. That doesn’t mean that I’ve no problems. That doesn’t mean I don’t get any obstacles. That doesn’t mean that circumstances are always in my ...

Wherein two of them are searching for their lost companion...

Mindset You Need to Start Something

According to my understanding, There are two aspects of it- 1- Why are you starting that thing? 2- What’s stopping you to start that thing? The “Why” is a cause from which you get the inspiration to start. To find out your “Why” is a different topic altogether. Today, I’ll primarily focus on the second part of it that is, What’s stopping you to start that thing. You can also listen my podcast for this topic-  Mindset of Starting Something | How to Start from Scratch. Here are some common points that have the potential to stop you, but you've more potential from all the below points. You got to believe in me. 1-   Self Awareness- I think first and foremost is the Self-Awareness part of the human being. If you are not self-aware of yourself, if you don’t know what’s your goal, if you don’t know what’s your vision, if you don’t know your plans, then It may give you problems in long term. You could be a guy with no plans, no visions, no heavy goals and it’s jus...

Creator versus Artist

A creator is someone who makes or produces something new and an Artist is the one who creates or produces art. In today’s era, everybody is concerned about how many followers one has acquired on social media platforms. This is most important for us to know the difference between Artist and Creator, I have already defined what a creator is and what an artist is.   There were artists back then who were not creators. But in today’s era, artists become very good creators. But so many of us have forgotten the difference between the two.   For Creators, the quantity of content defines them. For Artists, the quality of art defines them.   Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Spotify Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Apple Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Twitter
