Writing: the most useful habit I picked up a couple of years back. Writing leads to organised and much more refined thinking. Here's a favourite quote of mine from Dr @jordan.b.peterson : "The primary reason to write an essay is so that the writer can formulate and krganize an informed, coherent and sophisticated set of ideas about something important." Not just essays, write anything and everything. To-do lists, journals, action plans, brainstorming, blog posts or anything that will help you to think and do better is beneficial to your life. Write more to be a better thinker. #writing #writersoninstagram #writers #bloggers #personalblog #bloggingonig #thinkingclearly #medium .
There are lot of places I want to visit in Sri Lanka which I haven't visited yet. Couple of years back, it was my goal (and still is) to visit almost all of these places, unfortunately nature had other plans causing a terrible #pandemic. I've been to #Galle countless times but have never been to the top of the #gallefort . Last year I checked that off from my #bucketlist when I visited Galle with my cousin. These pics are from that trip. Fingers crossed hoping things will be better for all of us, especially #SriLankans whose economy rely so heavily on #travel , that and get back to #travelsrilanka #throwbackthursday #tbt #srilankandiaries #personalblog #pandemicthoughts
Many faces to oneself is a fact of life. The attempt is increase the transparency where you don't need the many faces anymore, where you can be yourself. . . . . ? From my brother's wedding day (October 28, 2020)
It's blue all around. ?

Doesn’t mind if it’s a tweet, a blog post, a memo or an email. Write more to get better. ☞ Organise those tangled thoughts into a page. When you change your mind — you will, open another page, and write more. You will revise your words and refine your thoughts simultaneously while writing. ☞ "??????? ?? ???????? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ???????. ?? ?? ? ??? ?? ??????? ???." Put your thoughts on paper; stand back and view it objectively. Remove what could be removed and add to say what you mean. Rewrite for clarity. ☞ Is it worth the effort? Yes. You have a responsibility to think and communicate effectively. If you write well, you’ll think well. With time, you’ll start to think well because you write well. ? ????? ?? ????? ???????. ● ?? ??? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ?????? ??? ?? ???? ?? ??? ????????. ?? ??? ????? ????, ?????? ?? ?? ??? ?????'? ??????? — @pasindu.blog
It pretty simple, but quite easy to forget when we are in the business people pleasing; whether it is about holding an opinion, doing business and giving to people who take all your energy away. Be kind, that doesn't necessarily mean keeping everyone happy. When we do things in a certain way, one person's beliefs might coincide with ours leading him to agree with us, which can be quite different from the next person's beliefs. As late Steve Jobs said, sell ice cream if you want to keep everyone happy. Have a blessed Wednesday! ??
A common trait among the successful is reading books ? No brainer, right? Reading has been here for 5000+ years and it fucking works. Eons ago, I didn't know that, but I somehow wanted to be successful. So, on the very beginning of my journey of becoming a reader, I visited the local bookstore and wandered around for a while. This book "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David Schwartz caught my eye, maybe because of the bright bold red text. I went home a happy lad. What I didn't know was, the impact this book is going to have on me. I read it slowly and soaked all of it in, and the execution was simply a change of my mindset. An opening of a new door, a new way of thinking. Thinking Big: Dream beyond and take action. Below are few of my favourite lessons from The Magic of Thinking Big. * Action cures fear * See what can be, not what is * Before a quarrel, ask yourself, 'Is it really important?' * Ambitious people gives us ambition. Hang out with ambitious people. * Practice conversation generosity. A sure-fire way to win friends. Let people talk about themselves. This is a great book to read and re-read many times. What's your favourite lesson from 'The Magic of Thinking Big'? & What are you reading right now? #reading #malabe #kaduwela #colombo #srilanka #srilankablogger #bloggers #blogging #personalblog #srilanka #success #mindset #thinkingbig #themagicofthinkingbig #selfhelp #books #nonfiction #entrepreneurslife #mindsetofgreatness #instagood #carousels #bookstagram #booksaremylife #reading? #motivationmonday @thechrisdo #designwithcanva

Seth Godin (@sethgodin) is one of my favourite writers/bloggers and a huge inspiration to my writing. This is one of the most popular posts from his blog: ⠀ world’s worst boss That would be you. Even if you’re not self-employed, your boss is you. You manage your career, your day, your responses. You manage how you sell your services and your education and the way you talk to yourself. Odds are, you’re doing it poorly. If you had a manager that talked to you the way you talked to you, you’d quit. If you had a boss that wasted as much of your time as you do, they’d fire her. If an organization developed its employees as poorly as you are developing yourself, it would soon go under. I’m amazed at how often people choose to fail when they go out on their own or when they end up in one of those rare jobs that encourages one to set an agenda and manage themselves. Faced with the freedom to excel, they falter and hesitate and stall and ultimately punt. We are surprised when someone self-directed arrives on the scene. Someone who figures out a way to work from home and then turns that into a two-year journey, laptop in hand, as they explore the world while doing their job. We are shocked that someone uses evenings and weekends to get a second education or start a useful new side business. And we’re envious when we encounter someone who has managed to bootstrap themselves into happiness, as if that’s rare or even uncalled for. There are few good books on being a good manager. Fewer still on managing yourself. It’s hard to think of a more essential thing to learn. #blog #personalblog #blogging #bloggersoninstagram #writersoninstagram #thefutur @thechrisdo #sethgodin #selfmanagement #timferriss #markmanson #instawords #ff #f4f #likeforlike #follow4follow #lifestyledesign #srilankanbloggers #firstpost #instagood #mentorship #selfimprovement #selfhelp #entrepreneurslife #successtip #personalgrowth #personalbranding #malabe #carousel #carousels
