Welcome 2019 :) Hard Goal Posts !

Hi All, Long hiatus has been quite refreshing for me to be honest - yes, years of deep learning, on both personal & professional fronts coupled with more "look/turn ONLY inwards" has been the theme of journey since last 7-8 yrs :) 

PS : Have I turned into a sage/saint/philosophical guy? Absolutely not! I am still the same sinner :) May be bit wiser ..

I would keep it short & crisp - 2019 is going to be start to a very very marvelous chapter of my life. I used to love Physics during my 12th & NIT days - basic law of Thermodynamics is key to this post. 2019 onwards is just sticking by this old school syllabus .. nothing else :) Let's go to basics - 

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS states : Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another (Read here)

So crux is me, you (may be) and everyone around have kind of forgotten this basic rule & imagine we have infinite pool of energy, time within us & just go around in "Spray & Run" fashion. So foolish when the fact remains - we all, have a "FINITE" source of energy earmarked for us, in us !

Let me be more specific with a use case of mine only - Energy inside me is a limited resource .. where should I focus it today (Because Today is the ONLY thing in my hand, as of now), if I put this question to the management consultant inside me, a "Energy Prioritization Framework" pops up (Consultant never dies inside me .. no show-off)

Pls click on image to expand it further.

So what does it tell us? Focus the "expense" of energy only in 2 intersection sets, nothing else will reciprocate any better return on investment. I know this may sound very logical but trust me difficult to implement (At least that's what I felt initially & people do tell me the same).

And yes, there had to be two separate streams - after all, Things & People are very different ;) 

Thoughts? Most welcome :)

Regards,
