We were no more getting compared to a spreadsheet or no code tool because of being a single vendor managing end to end lifecycle of a VC/PE firm.
Took us 6 years, we are revenue positive.
The school of philosophy aka Epicureanism was started on donation from wealthy people because they resonated with it. He spent all the money in setting up the school to promote happiness.
It was one of the first school which was co-ed, male and females both admitted and encouraged to live and study pleasure.
Spreading rumors were part of our older society as well and regular leaks were common, some related to stories around sexual encounters and others on the day to day functioning of the institute.
Despite all this Epicurus popularity and teaching only grew more.
Two key questions that was asked or enquired were:
What will make me happy?
What will make me healthy?
Once Epicurus asked his friend “Send me a pot of Cheese, so that i may have a feast whenever i like.” Isn’t it surprising, a teacher of pleasure having such simple eating habit?
Epicurus observed that pleasure has few simple ingredients: Friendship
Epicurus observed that centre of happiness is having company of great friends. He once said “Feeding without friend is the life of LION or a WOLF.
Later in his life, he moved on the outskirts of Athens bought a big house and stayed rest of his life there with company of his close friends.
True friends are like parents, who are not going to judge you on who and how you look but be there for you as who u are.
Having true friends worth more than fortune.
We must have freedom to choose course of our life. We don’t have to work or listen to people whom we don’t like. Thought
Our thoughts defines and brings misery or pleasure to us. Keeping a rational and self analyzed view will be a good way to get over the anxiety about money, wealth and other things.
