    Why should your Diet be Healthy?

    In this blog post I would inspire you to treat your diet as your doctor. Gut health plays a very important role in our overall well being and hence the need to eat healthy in order to stay healthy.

    Steve Jobs very rightly mentioned the following 6 as our best doctors. He also mentioned that if we do not treat diet as medicine very soon we may have to take medicine for diet.

    1. Sunshine
    2. Rest
    3. Self Confidence
    4. Friends
    5. Exercise &
    6. DIET

    Whatever food I have, rest assured will be something that is healthy to the core. I consider Diet as one of my Doctors and hence Doctor Diet is one of my priorities.

    Read this insightful post with some invaluable moments from Steve Jobs’ last memorable speech.

    Blink Judgements Improve with Experience and age as mentioned by Malcolm Gladwell in his book Blink.

    I have had first hand experience of this fact from my life experience. Having noticed patterns I am able to take a lot of decisions in the blink of an eye and yet succeed. One such example is of choosing the locality where I live in.

    Malcom Gladwell mentions the same concept in his best selling book titled Blink.

    He argues that the power of snap judgements improve with age and experience since we are able to see more patterns.

    Feeling of Inferiority vs Inferiority Complex

    Feeling of inferiority is indeed healthy and is a far cry from inferiority complex as mentioned in the book, The Courage to be Disliked.

    Happiness demands courage as highlighted in this blog post.

    In the book The Courage to be Disliked, the authors have mentioned at length the fact that happiness is not a function of the past or the environment an individual is part of.
