Do Epic Shit

Do Epic Shit by Ankur Warikoo is a masterpiece of best-curated lessons, that will help you enhance your life by doing some epic shit!

Here are the 10 most valuable lessons from the book:

  1. Time is the only commodity that diminishes; whether you spend it wisely or keep wasting it is entirely up to you.

‘A year from now, you will wish you had started today.

Start today.’

  1. If you enjoy making something, you can do it indefinitely.

‘Consistency + Authenticity is the magic formula to crack the content game.’

  1. No one is born a pro, it’s just an amateur showing up every day.

‘A pro is the amateur who simply showed up every day.’

  1. Habit build us, goal lay us barren

‘Targets are the enemy of habits.

Don’t set targets.

Set habits!’

  1. Someone is ignoring you? Maybe they are going through a tough time, rather than assuming something bad. Why not ask?

‘Before you assume, try this crazy thing.

ASK!’

  1. You don’t procrastinate because you are lazy. You procrastinate because you are scared.

‘Fear had led to more procrastination than laziness ever will.’

  1. The most important piece of advice, learn to trust yourself.

‘If you can’t trust you, it doesn’t matter how smart you are.’

  1. This may disappoint you, but your idea is not new.

‘Your idea is not your startup.

Your approach is your startup.’

  1. If you’re expecting something in return, don’t call it sharing.

‘If you share because you’re expecting something in return, it is not sharing.

It’s a transaction.’

  1. Take a seat back, and reflect upon this.

‘We are not the average of the five people we spend time with.

We are the average of five thoughts we spend the most time with.’

This episode had raised so many controversies and ignoring all of these, here are two facts that may be new to you:

  1. More people have died due to solar energy than due to nuclear energy.Reason: More precautions and safety measures are taken into matters while setting up a nuclear energy plant, but not in the case of a solar energy plant, causing more in setting and maintaining it.

  2. The fastest way to make the planet sustainably green and ecologically viable is to raise people above the poverty line as fast as possible.Reason: Poor people do not have many options when it comes to maintaining a healthy environment. They are compelled to use the woods as a source of energy, cooking food, and other necessities. More than 90% of poor children are exposed to such hazardous, polluted air, resulting in health problems.
