Author: Wisdom Nuggets

From the Author’s Desk …

Last week, we had an overview of the tagline’s first step: KNOW.

REFLECT: Second step of processing the inputs, which have been collated by our 5 sense organs (Input devices in a Human body). Mind and Intellect together acts as our ‘Processor chip’ inside.

Success Tip # 1: Since our Processor chip’s time is very precious, prioritize as to which inputs needs to be processed. Out of 100 inputs that one receives, roughly 20 inputs may be useful to accomplish our goals.

Success Tip # 2: Develop a firm conviction that every experience in our lives has a little lesson for us to learn.

Prime Hurdle: Temptation to compare our processor chip with that of others. This may waste our energy, since each human being’s processor chip is unique and cannot be compared.

Next week, we will move on to understand the third step of ASSIMILATE.

From the Author’s Desk …

Friday Gyaan’s tagline KNOW. REFLECT. ASSIMILATE is a 3 step learning framework for triggering improvements in any sphere of our lives. I consider it to be the most effective when it becomes a closed loop indicating that after the assimilation step, the feedback has to be driven back into the knowing step to take us to the next level.

KNOW: First step of collating the inputs from the external world of objects and the internal world of thoughts.

Success Tip # 1: Choose carefully on what you need to know with respect to your goals.

Success Tip # 2: Discriminate clearly between ‘want to know’ and ‘need to know’.

Prime Hurdle: The world will tempt you with distractions every moment and prevent you from implementing the success tips.

Dear Readers,

At the outset, I would like to thank you for your wishes and support for the FRIDAY GYAAN book, right from the launch date on 22nd January, 2021. No wonder, it has achieved the Amazon’s Best seller status within a short span of 30 days.

I firmly believe that learning is a continuous journey in life. It is indeed an honour and pleasure to effectively engage valued readers like you, so that we can mutually share the insights within this club and inspire each other in this fantastic journey. Let us start by understanding the significance of the FRIDAY GYAAN book cover with respect to the 108 Gyaan Nuggets in the book.

Sunlight represents the profound insight(s) hidden in our daily experiences. The clouds refer to the misconceptions in our intellect which keeps the insights hidden. The Gyaan Nuggets in this book will acts as an enabler to drive away the clouds of misconceptions and reveal the profound insights for our assimilation. We need to have a strong desire to remove the misconceptions and change for the better. The curved road is an indication that our life is a continuous journey of twists and turns.

In the next few blogs, I will explain the hurdles which one encounters in the different phases – KNOW, REFLECT and ASSIMILATE phases of this learning journey and ways to negotiate them skillfully.

With Best wishes,

Shankar Balakrishnan
