Do we love ourselves more in the virtual world, less in the real world?

Sometimes people forget who they are in real life and start creating their ideal self in the virtual world. We need to understand that this is not right and everything can seem perfect in the virtual world. Sometimes we forget how important it is to communicate with people, to be real and honest. We start thinking that our real selves are in the virtual world and start loving ourselves more in that world. To avoid this situation, we should not forget to spend more time with our families and friends, play games or just talk about different topics with them. Physical contact is really necessary for us! So don’t forget to take a walk or go to the cinema, park, theater and actually wherever you want. Then you will feel real and you will love yourself more in the real world.

Goldman and Nalebuff share 10 must-follow rules on how to start and build an equally impressive empire (you can find these rules in the back of their book; ‘Mission In A Bottle’):

1. “Build something you believe in — because that’s the first step to building a great brand.”

2. “Don’t aim for 10% improvement. Make it radically better and different.”

3. “Prepare to be copied. Don’t start unless you’ll survive imitation.”

If your idea is truly radical and takes off, you can count the minutes before the copy-cats arrive. How will you survive competition from the big 800-pound gorillas on the block? Or even from the upstart little guys? Your key is a system of ‘continuous innovation’.

4. “Build up reserves of money and energy for bad luck and mistakes.”

Great advice — but sometimes extremely difficult to do. What startup or growth company has reserves of cash sitting around? But Goldman and Nalebuff make a good point — run as lean as you possibly can and do not waste money or energy. You will endure mistakes and bad luck along the way, so having a good war chest full of capital and energy can help handle it.

5. “Never, ever give up control — until you sell.”

6. “Don’t compromise on the big things — compromise on everything else.”

Vision. Purpose. Core values. Write these things in stone and never budge. But flexibility in the value propositions, products and services you build to execute your purpose is vastly important. Many entrepreneurs I see fail to ‘bend to the market’ by adapting to what their customer’s are telling them.

7. “Figure out how to achieve your goals on a tiny budget — then cut that number in half.”

Yes — you’ve heard it said before — it will cost twice as much, and take twice as long as you think. My recommendation is you apply the principles of lean to your business from day one. No fancy offices. No fancy full color brochures. Your goal is to stay alive until you can nail your secret formula for success. Blowing the budget will insure nothing but a quick death.

8. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Is it ever. Building a business is neither for the faint of heart or the speed demon. Climbing Mt. Everest is not done in 3 easy steps: 1.) decide you want to do it, 2.) fly to Nepal with zero preparation, 3.) sprint straight up the mountain in 12 easy minutes. Build systems for the long-haul and focus on small-connected steps. (It takes 26,364 steps of 7″ each to climb Mt. Everest, and that’s starting from half way up at Basecamp.)

9. “Take care of your family, personal and spiritual health — if you aren’t laughing or smiling on a regular basis, recalibrate.”

Imagine the path to a wildly successful business: founder working at a feverish pitch for 18 hours each day, for at least 5 years straight. True? No, it’s not. Goldman told two reasons he made it through the rough years: first — he believed in his purpose, second — his drive for personal balance. The notion we need to kill our family relationships, personal health or level of sanity to build our own business is sadly misaligned.

10. “Build the enterprise and the brand as if you’ll own them forever.”

Will you sell your business someday? Maybe. Should that be the sole reason you are building it? Probably not. When you start and build a business based on passion and purpose, with a burning desire to solve the pain of your customer through the deliverance of monetizable value, you build a far more valuable enterprise. Those in it for the short-term quick buck rarely succeed.

Sky Observatory – 7,500 years old
Աստղադիտարան – 7,500 տարեկան

“Carahunge” or “Zorats Karer” (also known as the Armenian Stonehenge) is a circle of big stones with holes in them. They are located some 200km from the Armenian capital Yerevan, not far from the town of Sisian. The holes (4-5 cm diameters) in the stones are directed to the sky like telescopes. Armenian “Carahunge” is 2000 years older than the famous Stonehenge in England. Prof. P.M. Herouni (1998) dated the structure to around 5,500 BC. There are 222 stones.
