Quote by Anubhav Srivastava

“If you have mostly seen your hard work and strategy pay off, you may probably still be under the illusion that you are self-made and I won’t blame you for that. I have had plenty of such illusions myself. It is only when you go through circumstances when the SAME hard work that used to work, now gives you failure after failure, will you acknowledge the role of timing and luck. This is not a "negative" mentality, if anything it is a mentality that helps you tame your ego and be more sensitive to those around you who are not so fortunate. The first step to bring about positive change in your life, which is confidence if you have constantly been failing, or humility if you have constantly been winning, is to UNLEARN the FALSE notions that modern society has brainwashed you with. Not everyone who is at the top deserves to be there, and almost no one at the bottom truly deserves to be there.”

“„Nu-ți aduce tot eul la muncă. Nimeni nu vrea să îl cunoască.” Titlu de articol din The Economist, 2 iunie 2022 Universul nostru este plin de rulete. De la genele pe care le primim de la părinți, la țara și locul în care ne naștem și până la fenomenele întâmplătoare care ne pot curma viața, jucăm pariuri cu noi și cu ceilalți aproape la fiecare pas. De aceea, am inventat știința pentru ne ghida cât mai bine prin bezna existenței noastre inerente. În literatura din specialitatea științelor psihologiei și a psihoterapiei, comportamentele descrise mai sus sunt numite mecanisme de apărare ale Eului sau stiluri de coping și au fost prima dată formulate de către cine altul decât tatăl psihanalizei, Sigmund Freud. Sunt programe ale minții care ne protejează de stres și de anxietate. Jeffrey E. Young și colaboratorii lui le-au numit în zilele noastre scheme dezadaptative timpurii și le-au definit ca fiind teme largi cu privire la sine şi la propriile relaţii cu ceilalţi ce se dezvoltă în copilărie, se elaborează pe parcursul vieţii şi sunt disfuncţionale într-o anumită măsură. „Însă fără studiu individual, fără ambiție, fără muncă, nu se poate.” Isoscel în filmul Liceenii (1987)”

“We judge them by calling "negative", "pessimistic" or "glass is half empty" kinds of people. What we don't see is that it's not entirely someone's fault that they see they become cynical about life. Nobody is a born pessimist. Every single baby, whether human or non-human, starts off their journey in this world as an optimist and filled with hope, it is what they encounter in life as they grow older that either keeps them positive or slowly turns them negative.”

“Understand the truth is far different from what appears on the surface. It is natural for most people to want to avoid presenting what really goes on in their life, the struggle, the heartbreak, the low self-esteem, the doubts, the things gone horribly wrong and instead only present a version of themselves that appears flawless. This is particularly true for celebrities but applies to even you, me, your next door neighbour, your friends and your enemies.”

“A lot of things that happen in life are random. Let’s explore this through an analogy: Grains of Sand in a bucket If you pour sand into a bucket, statistically, there will be some grains on the top, most in the middle and some on the bottom. All grains can’t be at the top. So, does it mean the grains of sands at the top special/better than the ones at the bottom? or is it just blind randomness at play? You might say the human mind is not a grain of sand, it has talent and the capacity to think. Well, what determined your talents and thoughts? Did you choose them or were they too influenced by factors beyond your control? I would argue that your talents and your thoughts themselves are not conjured up by you alone, but are also the result of luck and circumstances.”

“We get stuck in a rut whether it is in a “9 to 5” job that actually makes us work 80 hours a week or working constantly when you run your own business. It’s always about planning for the future, it is always about striving for more, even if that striving for more ends up ends up totally destroying your life. Why? Because having a lot of “fire in the belly” is portrayed as a virtue, REGARDLESS of whether that fire in the belly is doing you or even the world at large any good!! The truth is your work is NOT THAT important in the grand scheme of things, and if you hate doing it, it’s not even important for you. You may consider yourself super important, but no matter how successful you are, you are most likely a cog in the wheel of the system who will find a replacement for you, the moment your body can no longer take it.”
