Hi Friends!
Greetings from Mumbai!
It’s been a while since I published this newsletter. Life gets in the way. Other critical things became priorities. But I’m glad to be able to make it back here.
Even though I’ve not been publishing this newsletter. but I’m writing consistently in private or publishing short writings on my Twitter.
In the past few months, I’ve become passionate about smart note-taking and how to better capture and retain what we consume. So you’ll be having more and more coming in this newsletter as I’m trying to make better notes from the books I read, videos I consume and conversations I have.
So here is to a few start for my weekly newsletter and the weekly review exercise.
Without further adieu, Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. A list of things and ideas I found Interesting.
Issue 217 // Week 50 // 2022
A person I’m highly inspired from—
Nathaniel Drew – He and his YouTube channels have been a constant source of inspiration for me. His perspective and how he turns those ideas into beautiful pieces of art videos. Wow. It’s just mind-boggling. You can see that in the video I shared as the next bullet in this newsletter.
Here’s his YouTube Channel and Twitter.
A thought-provoking video I loved —
Success ≠ Happiness – In this video Nathaniel shares his perspective and his friends’ perspective on happiness and how it is not connected with success.
Here is a snippet from the video to get you curious –
Success is synonymous with our career. But you could be really unsuccessful in your career but you could be a successful Father. So you need to meditate on which area you want to be successful at.
– Eric Tabach
A song I loved —
You – Gabe Coulter – I got referred to this song from Ali Abdaal’s Spotify wrap 2022 and I instantly loved it.
A podcast episode which I loved —
Tim Ferriss Podcast with Roland Griffiths – This was such a great episode. Tim is sounding drunk on wine and having a conversation with Roland who is terminally ill. But it doesn’t sound anywhere like a pity conversation. So many great nuggets and funny moments in this conversation.
Quote which I found meaningful –
Don’t get frustrated with someone who YOU didn’t tell properly WHAT to do.
Better delegation comes from better SOP documentation and timely check-ins.
— one of my mentors
Until Next Saturday!
