What I learnt during the last 10 years of my career.

1. FEW THINGS

2. “AVOIDING STUPIDITY
IS FAR EASIER THAN
BEING SMART
& PAYS BETTER RETURNS TOO”

3. “YOU DON’T REGRET THE MOST
ON WHAT YOU DID,
BUT ON WHAT YOU DIDN’T DO”
Not a single year passed by without making this
mistake

4. 99.99% OF LEADERSHIP TEAM PREFERS
CONVENIENT LIE MORE THAN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
I never understood why

5. ITS VERY EASY TO FOOL
YOURSELF
& hard to identify

6. “YOUR (SOFTWARE ASSET) INFLATION
IS FAR HIGHER THAN YOU THINK”
~ AFTER 3 YEARS ITS USELESS.
BEST WAY TO COPE IS TO BE A CONTINUOUS LEARNING MACHINE.
Software not just eats the world. It eats itself.

7. GREAT DESIGN NEVER LIES IN ADDING
MORE COMPLEXITY. IT LIES IN
REMOVING UNNECESSARY THINGS.
Great Mgmt lies in removing the overhead, not in
adding bureaucracy

8. To go far, surround yourself with smarter and trust
worthy team

9. MERITOCRACY MUST BE
ENCOURAGED IRRESPECTIVE OF
WHETHER YOU GAIN FROM IT OR NOT.

10. BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE A THING IS
SIMPLY DESERVING IT
Gravitational pull eventually wins

11. “FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT”
Don’t do anything if you can’t walk away from it
