a few lessons learnt

1. Never call people multiple times if they are not responding 

2. Do not suggest anything to people unless they ask you 

3. Always prioritise your well being first before helping the other person

4. Don't reinvent the wheel - if top 100 students in IIT JEE join in IIT Bombay for so many years. If you get a top 100, join there (works more often than not)

5. Always do productive things.  When you don't have a goal/struck somewhere in the process, you get distracted and you feel like whiling away time. Instead of doing unproductive things, change what you are doing to have variety 

6. Optimise for the material resources as far as possible. 

7. Never ask anything directly with self governing people. Show utmost empathy 

8. Health both physical and mental, family, profession are important in the same order. 

9. Always solve problem both qualitative and quantitative. There is no bigger joy than being able to solve problems

10. Work on inputs, process and output will be taken care 

11. Do your duties first and do whatever you want to do with the rest of the time 

11. When you look everything from money point of view, it helps to take objective decisions. 

12. Basic principles of money, make as much as possible, spend as little as possible, invest the surplus with the best ROI. Execution is easier said than done 

13. When someone rejects you, there is seldom a point in knowing why you and what went behind it, it is only important to ensure you use the opportunity to build character and thrive in life 

14. The road less travelled by may be tempting but do not take it because there must be a reason why it's less travelled in the first place 

15. Never stop showing up due to the fear of rejection. We often change paths or postpone things because we are afraid that we may fail if we continue in the  old path. It's a sin to not show up.
