Building the Future

Every Friday, I publish one essay & 10 interesting things that will help you become healthy, wealthy and wise 👇

This week I watched the movie “The French Dispatch” by Wes Anderson (Great movie) and there was an incredible scene.

Simone: What do you want to paint?

Artist: The Future.

This is just an interesting reply.

I paused the movie and started wondering.

I realised that technology like blockchain and AI has a huge potential going ahead and we are working towards the future.

It’ll also be really cool to reply “The future” whenever someone asks you that.

Later that night, I started wondering again.

I’m thinking about this whole thing the wrong way.

Rather than thinking about what will I reply to someone I should be thinking about what problem am I solving.

I’d be really stupid to work on something just because I can sound cool in front of friends.

I should be solving problems and building something that lasts longer than I do.

Don’t spend too much time thinking about what will you reply to people.
It’s like thinking about what will people think or say (In Hindi, there is a saying “Log kya kahenge”
Don’t do it.
Build something that solves a problem.
Build something that lasts longer than you do.

These are not advice, these are notes to self :)
