Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
It is easier to live according to ‘direction from another’. One does not have to think about difficult things, and one does not have to take responsibility for failure. All one has to do is swear a certain allegiance and someone will take care of all one’s troublesome tasks. From children in families and schools, to members of society working at companies and government offices, to clients who come for counselling.
The Courage to Be Happy

The competent operator will thrive while the passionate mechanic will struggle.
Operators are the people who keep their shit together when the going gets tough. They are good at seizing opportunities, decision making, problem solving, closing sales, managing other people, hiring, firing, training, and delegating. You know, all the hard, uncomfortable stuff. The stuff we’re talking about in this book.
If your goal is to grow a business, why not focus on learning to operate and be indifferent about what business idea you pursue?
