I went to my village after 3 months
Hey Everyone,
I got some input on my newsletter from the readers, and it was good to see that some people were really reading what I was writing.
I’m actually on the bus and writing this one. 😃
After so many days, I went back to my home; it was a wonderful experience. I don’t know why, but I felt very productive and happy when I was in my village; I could talk to the people, roam here and there with my friends, and talk to my parents and could do a lot more work than I do now in cities. My Mind & body are so habituated to my room because I made it that way; I have a whiteboard where I clearly write the notes that I have to do, a place to read the books, a place for meetings and work; everything is in one room only.
Last week, I didn’t write the Newsletter because one of my close friends died in an accident (please wear a helmet when you are going fast). One of the strange parts is that I didn’t even go to see him, and I feel so sad about that and hate myself, but one of the worst things about entrepreneurship is you can’t give the time, and you are busy with the work. I kind of feel that I was just running like others and not living the life, that's why I want to take advice from “ Jon “ who I personally admire his thoughts and the way of living a peaceful and happy life, and I’m doing the podcast as well with him. Hope you watch that as well.
I am going to bring some cool people on podcasts. Stay tuned for that; I’m telling you personally, these videos gonna help you in many ways. I’m not doing these for views or something since, from the beginning of this podcast, I’ve been spending money from my personal pocket every month, but there are no issues. I hope these videos might help one person; that would be really good.
This week, I had a call with a founder who was a Thiel fellow, YC-funded, and featured in Forbes. We just had a cool conversation about some good ideas. One of the things that I’ve noticed is he is simple and surprised to see that he was even listening to my suggestions and ideas. Maybe that's the quality that everyone should develop. “ Listen “.
I have had this feeling for a long time now since I’m a bit struggling with this, “ How far can you trust one ? “one thing is for sure: you should trust another person to get things done, but my question is how far, because sometimes they may just leave in the middle and you have no idea what is happening. Do you have any suggestions on this?
I have nothing to share that is valuable at this moment, see yea in next newsletter.
Don’t play safe.
You might say, Tarak, I was the only person that I needed to earn money, and my parents trusted me to take care of them.
I completely agree with you.
Your 20s is the age to explore and try different things; it is not the time to settle in an ordinary job and do it for the next 40 years; it is time to experience and figure out what you are truly passionate about because you don’t have the hard responsibilities until you are 25 or 26.
You might say, how do I feed my family? I want to be really honest with you, don’t get me wrong here: if they can pay your college fees and expenses, I’m pretty sure that they can take care of themselves without needing you until they have the energy.
Imagine getting a job, buying a car + house, and living your life to pay the EMIs until the next 40 years. And even you can’t exit and start something that you are really passionate about because you gotta pay your EMIs and expenses, and these won’t let you do it.
I hope this got you thinking about your life because the majority of our life spans when you have some thinking and energy in your body from 20 to 60 years, i.e., 40 years. Just imagine it's 40 years, and it is almost 70% of your living life; it’s important to work on yourself and do the things that you really love.
Take Risks because the great rewards come from the great risks.
Btw, now the time is 2:20 a.m. It is good it only took 1.2 hours.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
The only request that I have is If this newsletter is helpful to you and you are learning something from this, then please share it with your friends and family; I’m genuinely putting a lot of effort here 😊
If you have anything to say personally, you can reach out to me on Linkedin or Instagram; I would love to hear your thoughts.
Okay then, See ya later.
