i failed pretty hard at my first startup--it sucked!--and am doing pretty well on my second. the thing i wish someone told me during the first one is that no one else thinks about your failures as much as you do, and that as long as don't psych yourself out you can try again.

“I would like to stress the importance of making the coming 21st century a century of life, and that humanity must take the initiative to create the conditions for such a new age.    “A century of life, simply put, refers to an age, a society, a civilization based on respect for the dignity of life. Respect for the dignity of life means that people’s lives, their dignity, and their personal happiness must never on any account be exploited or sacrificed as a means to some end. I am speaking of a society and civilization grounded on a firm commitment that all endeavors serve to support people’s lives, their dignity, and their happiness, and that these must never be used as means to any other purpose or goal.”

When you've found your life's work, you no longer need to "be disciplined." Hard work becomes a joy, not a chore. You're overtaken by an innate desire for excellence that gives you life but looks like torture to everybody around you. Start by surrendering to your nature.

SGI President Daisaku Ikeda sent a condolence message on the passing of Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, often referred to as the “Father of India’s Green Revolution,” who died on September 28, 2023, at the age of 98. As the director of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute during the 1960s and early 70s, Professor Swaminathan, a plant geneticist by training, spearheaded India’s Green Revolution a transformational era in Indian agriculture that made the country self-sufficient in food grain and contributed to the reduction of widespread hunger. In the course of an illustrious career, Prof. Swaminathan also served as President of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs from 2002 to 2007, dedicating himself to the global movement for nuclear disarmament. TIME magazine named him one of the twenty most influential Asians of the 20th century, alongside fellow Indians Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. He was awarded the first World Food Prize in 1987. Prof. Swaminathan and Mr. Ikeda first met in Tokyo in 2002 and went on to publish the dialogue Green Revolution and Human Revolution, in which the two discuss their views on science and religion in relation to the human spirit. In his condolence message, Mr. Ikeda acknowledged the scientist’s invaluable contributions to protecting humanity’s fundamental rights and to the global pursuit of peace. He praised Prof. Swaminathan for “selflessly dedicating himself to the struggle to rid the world of nuclear weapons and war,” stating that his achievements “will shine in the annals of human history, a legacy casting the light of hope and courage forever into the future.”

@divya_anand Many schools do run book donation camps periodically to accept children’s books only… which they pass onto orphanages and to students from economically weaker sections.

@sidin @ponnappa Another pro-tip for parents: ask your children to donate their old books they won’t read or have out-aged, in their school’s book donation camps. They get to buy a new book for every 5 books donated. Such a huge win-win! We just cleared a big container of books last week…
