Dead Man's Shoe/ Real IAS interview recording/Portable neck fan

Aritra Sarkar March 31, 2024 Leave a Comment
Dear all

The idiom "Dead Man's Shoe" typically refers to a situation where there's only one available opportunity, and it becomes accessible only when someone else vacates their position, often through retirement, resignation, or unfortunate circumstances.

In a corporate context, this could be illustrated by a senior executive waiting for a promotion to a higher position. They might be qualified for the role, but until the current occupant of that position leaves, either voluntarily or involuntarily, they can't advance.
So, they're essentially waiting for the "Dead Man's Shoe" to become available.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** 
The farther you travel down that path of accomplishment, whatever it may be, the more often you meet other successful people who make you feel insignificant. It doesn’t matter how well you’re doing; your ego and their accomplishments make you feel like nothing—just as others make them feel the same way. It’s a cycle that goes on ad infinitum . . . while our brief time on earth—or the small window of opportunity we have here—does not.

One of the symptoms of approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important. —BERTRAND RUSSELL

The 37 percent rule/ The Man who lived 14000years (movie)/Charlie Munger Quotes/

Aritra Sarkar March 24, 2024 Leave a Comment
Dear all

The 37% rule, also called the optimal stopping theory, helps you make smart decisions when you have many choices. 

It says you should check out about the first third of your options to understand what's out there. 

37 percent rule


Then, after that, choose the first option that's better than any you've seen before. 

For instance, if you're hiring from 10 candidates, look at the first 4 (which is about 37% of 10), and then pick the first person who's better than those 4. 

This way, you increase your chances of picking the best option.

Alive and Kicking Phrase/Speak like a Leader/Complete Ramayana in Tweets

Aritra Sarkar March 16, 2024 Leave a Comment

 Dear all, 

You might have come across the saying "Abhi to hum Zinda Hain." from the Bollywood movie Welcome.


This reminds us of the idiom "Alive and Kicking."


"Alive and kicking" is an idiom that means someone or something is not only alive but also active and healthy. It emphasizes their vigor and continued existence.


There's an interesting story regarding the origin of this phrase or idiom.


Once, a frog stumbled upon a pail of milk. Frantically, it kicked its legs to stay afloat in the milk. It wasn't able to get out of the pail. But the frog didn't lose hope. It continued kicking to stay afloat.


Because of this repeated kicking, the milk began to churn. Slowly but surely, the milk transformed, thickening into creamy butter. The frog's relentless kicking had unwittingly turned the milk into butter, providing it with a buoyant surface to stand upon.


With a triumphant leap, it propelled itself out of the pail, landing safely on solid ground.


So, the phrase came.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** 

 

"I think a life properly lived is just learn, learn, learn all the time."— Charlie Munger


"Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve."— Charlie Munger


"It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent."— Charlie Munger

Woozle Effect/Shape of Stories/Best Twitter Thread

Aritra Sarkar March 02, 2024 Leave a Comment

 Dear all

On 31st of October 2023 my palm was itching. 

Seeing this my wife said money is coming. 

For those who don't know, itchy palms ✋ mean that money 💵 is coming your way.

Atleast we Indian believe in it. And guess what salary credited in my bank account 😂.

Their are many more such beliefs and superstitions are floating around the world which has no scientific or reliable base.

So, this experience leads to today's term "The Woozle Phenomenon or Effect". 

The Woozle effect is the phenomenon where a false or exaggerated claim is repeatedly cited as evidence until it is widely accepted as true.

This can happen because people tend to trust information that they see repeated from multiple sources, even if the original sources are unreliable.


It has some serious consequences.

- It may be harmful for your or public health. For example, someone who believes that cow urine can cure cancer may delay seeking conventional medical treatment, which can lead to serious health problems.

- False or exaggerated claims can be used to divide people and sow distrust.

- It may erode the trust on science and institutions.


The Woozle effect is a serious problem that can have a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole. It is important to be aware of the Woozle effect and to be critical of the information that you see and hear.
