The Rudest Book Ever

by Shwetabh Gangwar

He is old, hence he must be wise is one of the stupidest notions we take for granted.

Those who hold prizes, positions and power are sources to learn from—and nothing else. You know nothing about their lives except for their abilities. Admire the fact that they have those abilities, and leave it at that.

Those who are able to find out what they want to do in life chase after greatness to prove to themselves that they are great at what they do. With time, they realise they don’t need anybody’s approval, as doing what they want to do gives them purpose, and fulfilling that purpose gives them satisfaction and a meaningful life.

Knowledge can be borrowed, but you can’t borrow understanding.

Real winning requires your focus on neither winning nor losing, but upon learning.
