Hi Friends!
Greetings from Mumbai!
Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. A list of things and ideas I found Interesting.
Issue 215 // Week 12 // 2022
A not so good news about Covid —
COVID variant BA.2 drives case surge worldwide – We thought that with the Omicron variant the third wave has gone by, but now new cases are surging (as of writing it in mid of March 22). New variant BA.2, a sub-lineage of Omicron, is making up nearly a quarter of new COVID infections in the United States. It’s also leading high number of new cases worldwide.
The HT article shares the information shared by WHO. Read up and keep yourself updated.
A Tweet Thread I found fascinating —
This thread – Story of RTFKTstudios sell to Nike for millions by @gregisenberg is really insightful.
This new Crypto, NFT – Metaworld is mind-boggling most of the time.
When I first heard about Nike buying a company that was selling digital sneakers for the meta verse, blew my mind. This story by Greg takes that even further.
A book that I’m re-visiting —
Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg. – This book is one of the books where I went in with a very low expectation and came out with life-changing perspectives.
In this book, Dr Rosenberg explains the ways of non-violent communication. Not just actions but even our communication can be violent. How to course correct from that place, this book guides on that.
Check it out, a great and pragmatic read, which you can apply in your life easily to make yourself better.
A video I found interesting —
Become Undefeatable – This video explores the origins of Stoicism and how they can be applied today as well –
P.S.: I didn’t know the word cosmopolitan was invented by early stoic philosophers and it means “the citizen of the world”.
A lot of wisdom explained in one single video.
Quote which I found meaningful –
“There’s no shame in losing money on a stock. Everybody does it. What is shameful is to hold on to a stock, or worse, to buy more of it when the fundamentals are deteriorating.”
— Peter Lynch
Until Next Saturday!
