Question to everyone 👇 In Uttarakhand, whenever hailstones (aula/ओले) start falling, people often place a tawa upside down outside the house. 😄 उत्तराखंड में ओले गिरते ही घर वाले तवा उल्टा करके बाहर रख देते हैं। Any similar traditions where you live?

🚨 Aakash Chopra comes in support of GG with a suggestion 👇🤓 🗣️ “Gautam’s heart is always in the right place and his passion for the country and the team is unquestionable. ❤️🇮🇳 But he adds a small suggestion. When you come in too fiery and go after individuals or reporters, people start waiting for you to fail so they can swing back. Mistakes will happen, that’s part of sport, and some criticism can be avoided” Chopra feels Gautam may not care about the outside noise, but it clearly affects him at some level. Maybe just tone it down a touch… like batting outside off, you can leave a few balls. 😄 With Gautam, intent is never the issue — perception is.

Look this carefully👇👇 This scene depicts certain countries outside of India, where women are bound in chains and bought or sold like animals. But let me remind you that similar things used to happen in India as well during the time when Arab raiders attacked and occupied the country. If we reflect upon these scenes, where are women's rights and their freedom? Could any human being commit such an act of wickedness against a woman? But this is happening, especially in those countries that declare themselves to be Mu£lim nations. And you will be utterly astonished to learn that all those who buy and sell women are Mu£lims. Even in this modern era, there is no one to speak out against this—or to strictly put a stop to such practices. Times changed, and everyone's mindset evolved. But, one community continues to live with the very same mindset, which is a mindset that originated 1,400 years ago. Will women forever remain merely objects of gratification for them, or will they, too, get to live a life worthy of human beings? So please, everyone should give this some thought and if you can save women and young girls from such people, then by all means save them.

This just crossed a line… and people are NOT okay with it. A woman says she was approached like any normal day outside Walmart… but later finds out she was secretly filmed using Meta smart glasses, and the video is now circulating online. No consent. No warning. Just her face, her moment… turned into content. Now she’s getting messages nonstop, asking people to help report it and warning others: “We have to watch out now.” What’s worse? This isn’t a one-time thing. More women are coming forward with similar stories… and suddenly, being in public feels different. Technology is moving fast, but if people start using it to record others without consent, that’s a serious violation of trust. If someone secretly recorded you like this, would you fight to take it down or avoid public places altogether? Where should the line be drawn?

In the upside down world of intentional cognitive dissonance to mind control “the masses” she will be attached and mocked and called a cult leader for admitting she was wrong. But in reality this is why she’s the top podcast in the world and people have so much respect for her. Everyone gets things wrong. That’s the nature of life. A narcissistic cult leader demands that whatever they say, even if it changes from moment to moment is the truth. There is no objective truth outside of their will. Admitting you were wrong about things shows you ate trying to find the truth like any honest person. It’s why I developed so much respect for Tucker Carlson for admitting he was wrong about Iraq. I live by “I might be wrong but I’m not lying.” The grabblers live by “I might be lying but I’m never wrong.” Much respect Candace Owens

'हाथी के दांत खाने के और, दिखाने के और होते हैं।' - न्यायपालिका के विषय की जवाबदेही में BJP बिल्कुल ऐसा ही दोहरा रवैया अपना रही है। ऐसा लगता है कि मोदी सरकार और BJP की राजनीतिक डिक्शनरी में 'दोगलापन' और 'पाखंड' BOLD और UNDERLINE करके लिखा गया है। 21 जुलाई 2025 को कांग्रेस और अन्य पार्टियों ने निर्णायक-संवैधानिक Motion राज्यसभा में पेश किया, जो कि जस्टिस यशवंत वर्मा के अनौचित्य के विषय से जुड़े थे। इस Motion पर 63 राज्यसभा सांसदों के दस्तखत थे। इसके अलावा, एक अन्य Motion में 152 लोकसभा सांसदों के दस्तखत थे। इस Motion पर तब के उपराष्ट्रपति व राज्यसभा के सभापति रहे जगदीप धनखड़ ने जो कहा, वह मैं आपको बता देता हूं और ये मेरे शब्द नहीं हैं। उन्होंने कहा: "Honourable members, I need to inform you that I have received a notice of motion to constitute a statutory committee for the removal of Justice Yashwant Verma. This has been received by me today. It is signed by more than 50 members of the Council of States, and thus it meets the numerical requirement of signing by members of parliament for setting in motion a process for removal of a High Court judge. I direct the Secretary General to find out whether a similar motion has been moved in the House of People, the Lok Sabha, and this is being done for the purpose that under the Judges (Inquiry) Act 1968, the procedure is different if a motion is presented in one House or if the motion is presented on the same day in both Houses." इसके कुछ ही समय बाद माननीय धनखड़ जी ने औपचारिक रूप से कानून मंत्री से पूछा कि दूसरा Motion लोकसभा में move हुआ या नहीं, तब इस सवाल के जवाब में मंत्री मेघवाल ने 'हां' में जवाब दिया। : Abhishek Singhvi जी

🚨🚨 THIS IS THE NUCLEAR SURVIVAL ADVICE THEY NEVER BROADCAST - AND MOST PEOPLE WILL DIE DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE A man looks straight into the camera and explains that in a nuclear event, the biggest danger after the initial blast isn’t radiation, it’s panic. He says if you survive the explosion, your instincts immediately push you toward the worst possible decision: trying to run. “If you survive the initial blast, do NOT flee.” He explains that you have roughly 15 minutes before radioactive fallout begins falling back down to the ground. “You have about 15 minutes before radioactive fallout starts raining down,” he says, and that short window is when mass panic takes over. People jump into cars, highways lock up, and everyone believes they can outrun what’s coming. They can’t. According to him, that’s where a huge number of deaths happen. “The people who try to escape? Most of them die in traffic.” Radiation spreads faster than vehicles can move, and when millions of people panic at once, roads turn into exposure traps instead of escape routes. The advice that actually saves lives feels completely backward. He says the correct move is to get indoors immediately, get underground if possible, and stay there for 72 hours. Radiation levels drop rapidly after a detonation, most of it within the first couple of days, but only if you are sheltered when the fallout comes down. Being outside during that period is what kills people. He adds that if you can see the flash or feel the shockwave, you are already dangerously close. If you were outside when it happened, your clothes are now radioactive. He says they should be removed immediately, sealed in a plastic bag, and kept as far away from you as possible. When washing off, he gives one detail almost nobody knows: “Do not use conditioner. Conditioner causes particles to stick to your hair and skin.” Only water should be used, allowing contaminants to rinse off instead of binding to the body. His message stays consistent throughout. Running feels smart in the moment, but it’s often fatal. You cannot outrun physics, and when fear takes over collectively, the instinct to flee becomes the thing that kills people. If something happened tonight, would you remember this, or would you do what everyone else does?

When you learn the fundamental law it is important to get in front of your government servants in the presence of the people to teach both the people and your servants that the people have all the power , that your trustees are there to benefit the people , to tell them where they are falling in danger of maladministration, what the law is and how to correct it. It is in exercising your power and right that brings forth a paradigm shift like none you’ve seen before. Doing this flips your local state and federal government back to the people as the people learn and start joining you in speaking the law. It becomes no longer about complaining about the issues but using your power and authority as it is written to correct and bring the change necessary to secure our republic for yourself and for the common good of all. This is not only our right but our duty to teach our trustees what their job is. Many say they won’t listen or live in fear of what they may do, but as you can see here I spoke in front of police officers and our trustees and I was not detained or restrained from standing on my authority. I also was not called a sovereign citizen and the outcome of getting the people to stand with me in signing those notices and serving them made our county board do right by the people and not pass the mandate. There’s a reason Ben Franklin said “ a republic if you can keep it”. He was saying it’s on the people to maintain what they secured for you. The people need to show back up and run their nation the way our founders laid out in all 51 constitution they penned. Everyone is searching for remedy but most don’t look in the 50 state constitutions that expressly declared our power authority and rights. Your remedy is there, the only question is will you use it? If you want to learn how to stand learn from my teacher DavidJose who is the best in the nation and has given the people victory teach line by line precept upon precept. Let’s go get our nation back!

WHAT THE WEST, ICC, ICTR, ICTJ WON'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE GENOCIDE. IN RWANDA, TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARKNESS, TO KEEP REPEATING IT ON YOU. 1)This Tutsi woman, Mwemayire Felicite, narrates how, in 1994, Kagame's RPF had prepared the genocide against the Hutu. 2)They then gave some of the Tutsi arms and guns, and told them to dig deep latrines in many neighborhoods, where Hutu bodies would be dumped. 3)Habyarimana's plane was shot down! 4)The Tutsi who were armed, in some places, started attacking the Hutu as instructed by Kagame's RPF upon the death of Habyarimana. Kagame's RPF had infiltrated commandos across the country, and many of them were among the Interahamwe, MRND's youth wing, and President Habyarimana's ruling party. 5)RPF lied to the Tutsi in the interior to start the killings against the Hutu, even though the Tutsi were less armed, so the Hutu could fight and kill them. Kagame's commandos, infritrates, took this opportunity and carried out the genocide to unarmed Tutsi, and the Hutu were blamed for it. Hutu men would be forced to follow killers and sometimes were even forced to kill. Some Hutu were also taken by hatred and killed the Tutsi. 6)As the genocide went on, in the territory controlled by Kagame, they were also murdering the Hutu alarmingly, and some Tutsi who sympathised with the Hutu were not spared. 7)As the genocide took place, the war was going on. People were fleeing. It was chaotic. The governemnt tried to negotiate a cease fire to rescue civilians, but Kagame's RPF and the UN rejected it, instead the UNAMIR packed and returned home. It was a plot. This is a short summary of what really took place that they won't reveal to you. The consequences is that Africans shall keep falling in similar mistakes, dying and suffering, because its like Africans have taken the decision to never learn any true history apart from false narrative that they feed them to blind them. Africans are still slaves. Mentally enslaved for lacking of the truth! Denying you the truth is equal to making you a slave! Many things took place but I am writing a few for you as an eye opener. Today some of the people of Tanzania are trying to behave in similar ways, while they are facing the same devils. But why? They lack the truth. It's simple.

Everyone else was winding down for the night. Oyin wasn't looking for trouble, she was just looking for sleep. Before you people run with your usual "Oyin is the problem" narrative, let's talk about what actually happened, from the very beginning. Practice had ended, and the house had mostly settled for the night. Oyin came out to prepare her garden bed, the spot she's used since day one, and no one said a word about it. She stepped inside briefly, and in that time, Chimsom took her blanket while Gerard laughed. She came back out, couldn't find it, and even asked Sultex if he knew where it went. Still, she laid down to sleep. Then Chimsom walked over with his chair, sat talking near the bed, and eventually got up and started jumping directly on it while she was lying there. She packed her things and went inside. He then told her she won't be sleeping on that garden bed for as long as he's in the house. Then came the threat, to beat her, to make sure she leaves the house voluntarily or on a stretcher. As if that wasn't enough, we also watched Goddessa talk down on Oyin, belittling how she speaks, as if sounding "local" makes her any less than anyone else in that house. It's a sad reality in Nigeria, those without a silver spoon, or who don't speak with a certain accent, are so often treated as less than. That undertone, acting like she isn't on their level, is exactly the part people conveniently skip over. For those saying Oyin sleeps outside to copy someone, please rest. That habit didn't start today. She's explained before that she struggles with the cold and air conditioning, which is why she sometimes avoids anything that could trigger a reaction. Tell it from the beginning. Not just the parts that are convenient. OYIN IS ALWAYS RIGHT SAY NO TO CLASSISM #BBNaija #OyinOshikoya

I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m already seeing too many people asking, “Why is Pete Buttigieg going on Andrew Schulz’s podcast?” The better question is: Why isn’t your favorite Democrat doing the same? Why can’t they sit for three hours and defend their values to people who need to hear them? I’m excited to watch this because for way too long, Democrats have avoided uncomfortable spaces—places where people might be problematic or just think differently. And in doing so, we’ve missed the conversations we should be having. Democrats love our safe spaces. But in the last election, it wasn’t just “Republicans made their case, Democrats made theirs, and people voted.” Huge groups of Americans—especially young men—never even heard the Democratic argument. Why? Because we didn’t show up in their spaces. Schulz has a massive platform. You don’t have to like him—I don’t love his politics either—but he’s funny, sharp, and a hell of a conversationalist. And this is a real opportunity for Pete to reshape how people see him—and us—by talking directly to folks who haven’t heard from us before. Some people online are mad about it. I don’t get that. We need leaders who are willing to walk into those rooms, call out what’s broken in Washington, and talk about how we’re going to help people live better lives—feed their families, start families, retire with dignity. We can win. The House, the Senate, the White House. But only if we show up. So again, the question isn’t “Why is Pete doing this?” It’s: Why isn’t everyone else?

And this is a real opportunity for Pete to reshape how people see him—and us—by talking directly to folks who haven’t heard from us before. Some people online are mad about it. I don’t get that. We need leaders who are willing to walk into those rooms, call out what’s broken in Washington, and talk about how we’re going to help people live better lives—feed their families, start families, retire with dignity. We can win. The House, the Senate, the White House. But only if we show up. So again, the question isn’t “Why is Pete doing this?” It’s: Why isn’t everyone else?

🚨 SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING TO THE MOON — AND THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO NOTICE A woman gets on camera and says this isn’t a one-time thing. She saw it last month, the moon looked completely off, like the orientation made no sense, but she brushed it off and kept it moving. Now it’s happening again. Same exact look. So this time she actually checks, pulls up NASA charts for her exact location and shows what the moon is supposed to look like… and what she’s seeing doesn’t match it, not even close. The charts show it side to side, but what everyone actually saw was a flipped moon, straight up upside down, like something changed and everyone’s acting like it didn’t. Then she calls people across the country to verify it, and they come back saying the same thing. It looks upside down to them too, which is where this stops being “just her” and starts feeling like the same exact thing showing up in multiple places at the same time. And it’s not just her, people all over social media are saying the same thing: "Something isn't right." And this is where it stops making any sense. She says if the moon is a crescent, you’re only supposed to see the lit part… so why can she still see the entire outline of it, faint but clearly there, like the shadow isn’t even doing what it’s supposed to do? And she’s already calling it out before anyone can spin it: don’t say it’s lighting, don’t say it’s angle, don’t say it’s photoshopped, because she checked the charts, showed the receipts, and had other people confirm it. So now you’ve got the same “flip,” the same upside down moon, same visibility issue, second month in a row, multiple locations… and it still doesn’t match what we’re being shown. She ignored it once. Now it’s back again. So what exactly are we looking at… and why does it feel like we’re not supposed to question it?

Los Angeles Police Department Veteran Deon Joseph reveals that every block of the 100 blocks of Skid Row is controlled by gangs He says these gangs openly tax people like the mafia for coming into their areas This is Gavin Newsom’s California “What a lot of people outside of Skid Row don't understand is every street in the Skid Row area is controlled by a gang. There's a gang called the DTGs. They're an unofficial syndicate of hated rivals that often agree to work together in Skid Row because there's plenty of customers and they'll take over every street. If you're a homeless person trying to seek, come down to Skid Row because they say, hey, this is the place you need to be. You try to set up a tent. A lot of these individuals will approach you and say, what are you doing here? Well, I'm just trying to live. Well, nope, this is my block. You either have to pay a tax. If you don't pay the tax, you have to sell our drugs. We've got to allow our women to use your tent. And if you don't, you get assaulted or they do what's called a skid row eviction, where your tent gets pulled out and set on fire. So a lot of these individuals in skid row have no choice. Some of them, they're not hardened criminals, but they have no choice because the criminal element is so strong, their influence and their grip on the community is so strong.“ “That’s wild”

JADE delivers a beautiful speech after being awarded the Freedom of the Borough by her hometown, South Tyneside: “I drove here this morning and thought I’d write down a few words because I get really nervous with public speaking. I know I can’t swear, but I am shaking like a [bleeping] dog… It’s not a poem, I don’t know what this is. It just came from the heart: Whenever someone asks me where I’m from, I say: ‘Up North. South Shields. Have you heard of it? It’s next to Newcastle or Sunderland, depending on which team you support.’ ‘Yeah, but… Where are you REALLY from?’ And I know what that *really* means. But I’ll entertain it, since it fills me with pride. I am a ‘little mix’ – of English; Egyptian; a bit of Yemeni. My granddad was an immigrant, touched down in the Mill Dam. I’m from Laygate, where I’d stand outside my granddad’s mosque shouting ‘Eat me carrot!’ instead of ‘Eid Mubarak!’, collecting pound coins to spend at the tuck shop. 34 languages in my primary school. My mam worked there – my very own Diana Ross. That’s where I found my love for music: Motown to musicals, Clubland, and pop. My dad was a taxi driver, nicknamed ‘TickTock’ before TikTok was around. His taxi mates would make sure I’d get home safe after a night out. And now I’ve got my own bar – so we’re gannin oot the neet – where everyone’s welcome: a safer and more accepting space for my LGBTQ+ friends; something we were missing growing up. I’m from the Customs House, where I learned my craft. Where every Boxing Day birthday, we’d watch the little panto with the big heart, and I’d think: ‘One day, I’m gonna make it, and everyone will know where I’m from.’ ‘I can’t believe this is where you’re from!’ my boyfriend says, amazed at the coast line. I’m from my dog’s new favourite place: a cuppa and cookie from Bessy’s van while we walk along the beach in The Leas. ‘Minchella’s is the best ice-cream, y’know,’ I tell him. ‘And this is where you get the best fish and chips. Where every family achievement is celebrated with a Colmans. Every heartbreak is fixed with mince and dumplings.’ Another visit to my nanna’s and granddad’s in Simonside. The kettle was always on; the sandwiches were out. I’m from the place where the people I love the most reside. People I’ve loved and lost; memories stained in all our favourite spots; ashes scattered in the Mill Dam. Well… that’s not all that’s in the water! They say, ‘There’s something in the water. There’s talent in the Tyne. This is a big river, where a small town makes big names. Don’t forget where you’ve come from.’ How can I, when it’s my home? I’m from a place where pride is our passion. We get our kicks from supporting our own – whether it’s South Shields FC or Joe McElderry or Chris and Rosie Ramsey. Where ‘VOTE LITTLE MIX’ was on the Metro bulletin, in every window, in every shop, in every house. I still feel that love and support now… and it always pulls me back. My heart bursts when the train pulls into Newcastle. My dad picks us up and he drops us at my mam’s. I open the door and my brother waits (if he’s not at work) with his wife and kids, to welcome me back again. It smells like gravy, and everyone’s Northern voice feels like the warmest hug. So when you ask me where I’m from, I say: ‘Are you alreet?! I’m a Sand Dancer, ya daftie!’ I’m a proud Sand Dancer from South Tyneside. And no matter how far I travel, no matter where I perform in the world… it doesn’t compare to where I come from.”

‼️Candace Owens Just EXPOSED The Full Behind-the-Scenes CIRCUS Leading Up to the Debate —And Who BROKE THE CONTRACT😱 She said she’s never dealt with a more unprofessional team in her entire career — friend or foe. Andrew Wilson forced her to negotiate every single term publicly on X instead of email like a normal person. Once they finally moved to email, she was stuck dealing with a faceless “Crucible team” that refused to give any names. They tried to blow up the entire agreement the second Joe Rogan offered to host in Texas. Candace said no. Then they tried to renegotiate a guaranteed 90-minute deposition where Wilson could just grill her on anything outside the debate claims. She shut that down too. The night before the debate, still no names of who was coming into her home — where her kids live and sleep. An anonymous burner number started demanding a desk and live-stream setup inside her tiny house after she had already explained how limited the space was. They showed up with Steven Crowder’s team, including people who spend their days mean-tweeting her. One of them filmed a live call from her children’s playroom — direct violation of the contract that banned filming outside the studio. Candace called it exactly what it was: disrespectful, paranoid, and straight out of the Crowder prank playbook. She stayed professional the entire time. They didn’t. This is who Turning Point is aligning with now. FOLLOW Candace Owens, RT and watch her FULL episode linked below.👇

🤍 So, I mean... what can we even do? First off. 🤍 We have work. And honestly, guys, if I didn’t get any work, I wouldn't have the money to take care of Boo-Babe, buy his food, live my life, or even pay the water and electricity bills, you know? 🤍 I mean, when clients give us work, it’s a big deal. Like... you get it, right? Having work is always better than having none at all. 🤍 And if I didn't get any work, then what would you guys even follow me for? And say I have to work with other people... people start going, Oh no, Namtan is going to stop working with Film! Like, what's up with that? Everyone took a break to go... go... what do you call it? To go live their lives and spend time with their families, okay? 🤍 It was a holiday! And whenever we meet, look, when we're together, we love each other. We actually love each other more now and we've gotten so much closer. We’re always planning and talking about what we’re going to do with Blush Blossom. So please, don't let this kind of stuff drag us down or come between us, okay? 🤍 I mean, sometimes we don't take it personally, but there are some fans who just don't know, and they read things and actually end up believing them. Look, I’m not blaming anyone at all, but please... just filter things a bit when you read stuff or before you decide to believe something. 🤍 And then you believe it and start blaming the artists. Or when we haven't seen each other and I happen to work with someone else, you go and attack the clients, or attack other people... I mean, in the end, why am I even bringing this up? It’s not about trying to control you, it’s just that what you're doing is wrong because it’s affecting our professional lives. It’s affecting our whole environment. When new people want to work with us, who’s going to want to if things are like this? You get what I mean? 🤍 Like, Namtan and Film are the kids everyone in the office adores; everyone loves talking to us. I just can't believe we've reached a point where... I mean, before, the Namtan-Film fandom, Ban Namtan, Mochi, Fuji, Pluto... everyone used to praise them, saying how great the fans were, how cute, and how well-behaved. They were so lovely, everyone was complimenting them! But now we're at a point where people are starting to get worried about working with Namtan and Film. 🤍 And it’s not because of our skills or because... um... because Namtan and Film aren't working hard. It's because of these factors where, when we don't get a chance to talk or clear things up, it turns into people using our photos and writing in their bios that they're Namtan-Film fans. I get it all, because looking back at it from a “consumer” perspective, right? 🤍 I’m not just talking about one group of fans; I mean everyone, whether they're Thai fans or whoever. To be honest, especially the ones in Thai—I see them. Sometimes they just pop up, written in Thai, using really, really rude language while using our faces and our fandom name. Honestly... it’s really not cute at all. #NamtanTipnaree

In 1987 Nike had $600 million in revenue. Phil Knight was stuck. The company was losing ground to Reebok, burning cash, and nobody inside could agree on what to do next. He brought in Les Brown to speak to his executive team. Brown was found abandoned in Miami at 6 weeks old. Labeled mentally retarded at age 9. Failed fifth grade twice. Had no degree, no connections, no money. By 1987 he was the highest-paid motivational speaker in America. Marriott paid him. McDonald's paid him. General Electric paid him. Fortune 500 companies flew him in because one session with Les Brown changed how their people think. Nike's revenue crossed $1 billion two years later. Brown built all of it on one thing he learned by losing everything. He made a promise to his adopted mother to buy her a house. Worked years to get the down payment. Found a home on the water in Miami. Signed without a title search. A registered letter arrived weeks later. A $12,000 lien against the property. The previous owner's debt. 30 days to pay or lose the house. He lost the house. Lost 23 pounds in the process. Packed his mother back into the old neighborhood while the same neighbors who watched them leave watched them return. He stood in the driveway unloading furniture with his head down crying. His mother said hold your head up. You have nothing to be ashamed of. For weeks he couldn't move. Couldn't think. Couldn't plan. He said the mind works like a gas pump. You cannot start pumping until the previous bill clears. Anger doesn't clear. Humiliation doesn't clear. They sit on the lever and nothing moves. He told the story of a man everyone in Columbus called Chicken Man. Woke up at 3am to a house on fire. Got out the window. Heard his wife and children screaming. Ran back. The flames were too hot. He could not get in. The screaming stopped. His brother-in-law arrived and started hitting him. Calling him a coward over and over. When people pulled him off they asked if he was all right. Chicken Man looked at them and started making the sounds of a chicken. He never spoke again. Drove around the city for the rest of his life with a toy chicken on his car and a photo of his wife in a baby carriage. Brown said most people walking around are carrying something exactly like that. An event from years ago still running their entire life. 80% of the people you tell your story to don't care. The other 20% are glad it happened to you and not them. The question is never what happened. The question is what are you going to do about it. The lecture is free on YouTube. Just over an hour. Almost nobody has watched it as a precise diagnosis of why capable people stay exactly where they are.

Steve Jobs literally gave a 10-minute masterclass on building a company (better than $100K MBA): 1. Someone has to be the keeper of the vision. There is a staggering amount of work in building anything, and when you have to walk a thousand miles, the first step looks impossibly far. Jobs saw his job as the person who constantly reminds everyone that the goal is real, not a mirage, and that each step gets you closer. In a thousand small and occasionally large ways, the vision has to be repeated, or people lose faith it exists. 2. The honeymoon ends fast, and then the world only cares what you produce. After six months, Jobs told his team that all the goodwill they got just for existing was old news. You can point to the lawsuit, the setbacks, the this and that, but the bottom line is the world does not care. It cares about what you ship and how timely you bring it to market. From here on out you get judged like every other startup, by your product, not your story. 3. The most important job of a leader is recruiting. Jobs says it plainly: hiring is the thing he considers most important about a role like his. He didn't want seasoned professionals so much as people who were insanely great at what they did, who had the latest understanding of the technology at their fingertips and the passion to bring it to millions. 4. A great team becomes self-policing about who it lets in. Once you assemble a core group of ten genuinely great people, something powerful happens: they start guarding the bar themselves. They will not tolerate letting mediocre people into the group. The quality defends itself, which is why getting those first ten right matters more than almost anything. 5. Start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. This is the mistake Jobs says he made more than anyone in the room, and he has the scar tissue to prove it. You cannot start with a piece of awesome technology and then hunt for where to sell it. You start with what incredible benefit you can give the customer and where you can take them, and only then figure out the technology to get there. 6. You have to find what you love, and not settle. Your work fills a huge part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it, keep looking, and don't settle. Like any matter of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and it only gets better over the years. 7. They didn't set out to start a company. They just wanted the thing to exist. There was no personal computer in 1975, so Jobs and Wozniak built one because they wanted one and none existed. They made it for themselves, showed it to friends, and the friends all wanted one. They started building by hand until it consumed all their spare time, so they decided to manufacture a hundred just to stop. That is how Apple began. Not a plan to start a company, a circle that kept getting bigger. 8. "I want to make lots of money" is not a good enough reason. When people tell Jobs they want to start a company, he asks why. If the answer is to make lots of money, he tells them to forget it. He has barely seen anyone succeed that way. The ones who succeed often didn't even want to start a company. They just had an idea they needed to get out into the world, and had to build a company because no one else would listen. 9. You lead by example, because everyone is watching. You can say anything you want, but people watch extremely carefully what senior management actually does. When something isn't quite good enough, do you stop and make it great, or do you just ship it? Everyone sees which choice you make in the hard moments, what decisions you make and what values you hold, and that, not your speeches, is what permeates a company of thousands. 10. Focus doesn't mean saying yes. It means saying no. Jobs kept the organization simple and did very few things well. And focusing is hard precisely because it means deciding not to do a huge number of things so you can pour everything into a handful. Most people think focus is about what you take on. He understood it's about what you refuse. 11. Let people do the best work of their lives. Everyone wants to do something great, to be excited about what they're building, and to be recognized when they nail it. So Jobs tried to build a place where people could do their best work and then get it in front of 25 million customers. Knowing millions of people will use the thing you're making, and that the whole industry will copy it if it works, is enormously motivating. 12. Don't lose the war because you won a few battles. Late in the clip Jobs gets blunt about a danger he sees creeping in: losing the startup hustle. If you zoom out, it would be a shame to lose the war because you were busy winning small battles. He felt people were concentrating too hard on minor fights and losing perspective on the real one. And the war, he says, is survival, not running out of money before you get your product to market.

Steve Jobs literally gave a 10-minute masterclass on building a company (better than $100K MBA): 1. Someone has to be the keeper of the vision. There is a staggering amount of work in building anything, and when you have to walk a thousand miles, the first step looks impossibly far. Jobs saw his job as the person who constantly reminds everyone that the goal is real, not a mirage, and that each step gets you closer. In a thousand small and occasionally large ways, the vision has to be repeated, or people lose faith it exists. 2. The honeymoon ends fast, and then the world only cares what you produce. After six months, Jobs told his team that all the goodwill they got just for existing was old news. You can point to the lawsuit, the setbacks, the this and that, but the bottom line is the world does not care. It cares about what you ship and how timely you bring it to market. From here on out you get judged like every other startup, by your product, not your story. 3. The most important job of a leader is recruiting. Jobs says it plainly: hiring is the thing he considers most important about a role like his. He didn't want seasoned professionals so much as people who were insanely great at what they did, who had the latest understanding of the technology at their fingertips and the passion to bring it to millions. 4. A great team becomes self-policing about who it lets in. Once you assemble a core group of ten genuinely great people, something powerful happens: they start guarding the bar themselves. They will not tolerate letting mediocre people into the group. The quality defends itself, which is why getting those first ten right matters more than almost anything. 5. Start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. This is the mistake Jobs says he made more than anyone in the room, and he has the scar tissue to prove it. You cannot start with a piece of awesome technology and then hunt for where to sell it. You start with what incredible benefit you can give the customer and where you can take them, and only then figure out the technology to get there. 6. You have to find what you love, and not settle. Your work fills a huge part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it, keep looking, and don't settle. Like any matter of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and it only gets better over the years. 7. They didn't set out to start a company. They just wanted the thing to exist. There was no personal computer in 1975, so Jobs and Wozniak built one because they wanted one and none existed. They made it for themselves, showed it to friends, and the friends all wanted one. They started building by hand until it consumed all their spare time, so they decided to manufacture a hundred just to stop. That is how Apple began. Not a plan to start a company, a circle that kept getting bigger. 8. "I want to make lots of money" is not a good enough reason. When people tell Jobs they want to start a company, he asks why.
