Life Advice: What can people start doing now that will help them a lot in about five years?

Life Advice: What can people start doing now that will help them a lot in about five to ten years? by @deepakpshukla1

Answer by Deepak Shukla:

This is how you can change your life in 3-6 months of self learning aggressively.

And then for the rest of your life casually. (All from personal experience)

On relationships:

• Read
• • Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus
  • The five love languages
  • Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps
  • These alone will save you around 2 years of problems
• Listen more, with your mind. She’ll notice
• Appreciate they way she is – and show her you do
• Little gestures of love (e.g. buying her her favourite chocolate bar and leave it under the pillow after a hard day at work) are far more romantic than overblown/romantic cliches/gestures
• Compliment her – in front of other people. It’s an amazing feeling for her
• Look at her when she isn’t watching. She will feel it
• Document her favourite things, quirks, what she mentions she likes, ANYTHING positive. Create calendar reminders every 2-4 weeks to randomly surprise her on the basis of what she said. This is an ongoing list.

On sex

• Make sex varied, not perfunctory
• Pleasure her first. Not the other way around
• Read ‘She Comes First’. Will pay you back forever
• Sex isn’t missionary position as hard as you can. Break that mindset

On cooking:

• Ask your mum to show your how to cook your favourite meal.
• • Then her favourite meal
• Cook this for your girlfriend
• Try follow a recipe. Use Hello Fresh if you want to make it easy to begin with
• Borrow the cooking expertise of friends that cook – learn how to cook their favourite meals
• Learn from your girlfriend
• Cooking well will pay you back forever when you cook for  friends, the woman you date, and the woman you’ll love

On your career:

• Read:
• • How to Think Like a CEO
  • How to Win Friends and Influence People
  • Lynchpin
• Learn:
• • Excel v. well (VBA lookup/Index/Match/3D Sum/$/&/etc
  • Powerpoint v. well
  • Word v. well
  • • They will all ALWAYS pay you back and advance your career
• Form allegiances with rising stars, networking masters and some senior folk
• • One day you’ll need it
• Learn from those that have excelled
• • Observe, Learn, Integrate, Apply, Surpass him/her
• Work is 60% about doing the work well and 40% playing the politics game
• • Do both to the best of your ability
• Document your wins
• • When it comes to salary review/appraisals/job offers you’ll be happy you did this

For some resume advice you can check this out.

On startup:

• Read
• • The Four Hour Work Week
  • The Personal MBA
  • Rich Dad Poor Dad
  • Lean Startup
• Execution matters more
• • There are words, deeds, and then there is action
• Build the startup as much as can ALONE
• • Then find the team. What you’ve already built will improve the stock of people that want to work with you
• Focus on sales/pre-sales i.e. validation
• • Everything else is fluff. This is the acid test

For more thoughts on this see here.

On health

• HIT it
• • High intensity training (140-180 HR) is the only one worth doing
  • You’ll speed up your metabolism, burn fat quicker, get leaner stronger healthier
• Do it
• • Start small if you have to. But you never need to do much more than even 15 minutes a day to see results
• If it isn’t hurting. It isn’t working
• • If you’re aren’t wheezing/heaving/barely breathing. It’s not effective
• Need motivation?
• • Eat in front of the mirror. Naked

On personal growth

• Read
• • The God Delusion
  • A Short History of Nearly Everything
  • Freakonomics
  • Pick some diverse topics that you like. Read them
• Spend time around interesting people
• • Dancers, actors, musicians, business owners, sportsmen. But people with a clearly defined PASSION
  • You will learn so much from them
• Learn a language
• • When you can
  • You can combine one of the above with this
  • • e.g. get a foreign girlfriend (is how I did it)
• Make time to travel
• • The world is beautiful you’ll learn so much
  • You’ll also be forced to talk to strangers
  • You can combine this with other goals
  • • e.g. I only run marathons in new cities or countries. So far 18 different cities in 10 countries

On happiness

• Make time for people you love
• • Friends, family etc
• Laugh. More. It’s an amazing medicine
• Follow the health section. It cures so so many bad things (depression, anxiety, body image issues etc)
• Give back
• • Help a family member, donate to a charity that means something to you, volunteer
  • • Whatever it is – it has to be meaningful to you

Overall

• There is only 'f*ck yes’ or 'hell no’
• • Either do things with commitment or leave it for later or leave it altogether
• Be reliable
• • To yourself. And then to others
• Find what you love and the 'working hard’ will come with it
• • And whilst you’re finding it. Work hard anyway
• No matter how sh*t your life is or difficult
• • e.g. You’re blind. Have no legs. Are quadriplegic. Remember – there are no excuses.

This life. It’s on you.

Halliburton, Rolls Royce, Samsung, Hyundai; scores of corporations, politicians and officials implicated in sophisticated global web of Bribery, graft and kickbacks.

Billions of dollars of government contracts were awarded as the direct result of bribes paid by US giant Halliburton and its former subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root, British icon Rolls Royce, Korean heavyweights Samsung and Hyundai, and Australia’s Leighton Holdings; who are embroiled in the Unaoil bribes-for-contracts scandal through their operations in former Soviet states; including rampant corruption inside Italian oil giant Eni.  Texas firm National Oilwell Varco, Singapore conglomerate Keppel, Norway’s Aker Kvaerner and giant Turkish joint venture GATE are also implicated.  US defense giant Honeywell and Australian firm Leighton Offshore agreed to hide bribes inside fraudulent contracts in Iraq.

Managers from Eni, Spanish Firm Tecnicas Reunidas, French firm Technip, drilling giant MI-SWACO and Rolls-Royce not only actively supported bribery but were offered, or pocketed, their own kickbacks.

Other Western firms involved in Unaoil’s Middle East operation include Petrofac from Britain; US companies FMC Technologies, Cameron and Weatherford; Italian Saipem; German companies MAN Turbo (now know as MAN Diesel and Turbo) and Siemens; Dutch firm SBM Offshore; and Indian giant Larsen & Toubro. They also show the offshore arm of Australian company Leighton Holdings was involved in serious, calculated corruption.

How the GOP elite lost ground to Donald J. Trump; A Cinderella story.

Mr. Trump’s unlikely campaign has become a seemingly unstoppable force, one that Republican lawmakers, donors and activists are only now fully confronting.  ‘This is absolutely a crisis for the party elite — and beyond the party elite, for elected officials, and for the way people have been raised as Republicans in the power structure for a generation,’ says Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary for President George W. Bush. ‘If Donald Trump wins, he will change what it means to be a Republican.’

‘He gets it,.we’ve sold ourselves out.’  As the Republican party implodes; conservative leaders struggling to explain Mr. Trump’s appeal have largely seized on his unique qualities as a candidate: his larger-than-life persona, his ability to dominate the airwaves, his tough-sounding if unrealistic policy proposals. Others ascribe Mr. Trump’s rise to the xenophobia and racism of Americans angry over their declining power.

But the story is also one of a party elite that abandoned its most faithful voters, blue-collar white Americans, who faced economic pain and uncertainty over the past decade as the party’s donors, lawmakers and lobbyists prospered. From mobile home parks in Florida and factory towns in Michigan, to Virginia’s coal country, where as many as one in five adults live on Social Security disability payments, disenchanted Republican voters lost faith in the agenda of their party’s leaders.

‘They have to come to terms with what they created,’ says Laura Ingraham, a conservative activist and talk-radio host. ‘They’ll talk about everything except the fact that their policies are unpopular.’

Announcing his candidacy for presidency, Trump spins a tale of unfair trade deals hashed out by lobbyists, backscratchers and incompetent presidents who are stealing jobs from Americans. He’ll stop the flow of jobs over the border with Mexico, Mr. Trump promises, and build a wall to stop the flow of people. That message resonates with lower-income voters, and helps drive Mr. Trump’s string of successes.

But it has done little to convince Republican leaders that they need to rethink their approach or devise new proposals for blue-collar workers who are hurting.

As the party’s leading donors meet at the Ritz-Carlton in Miami Beach, there is plenty of spirited chatter about Mr. Trump, but less discussion of the voters who fueled his rise, and little about what could be done to assuage them.
