Questions we should ask ourselves regularly

Today is the 7th anniversary of my post titled Confronting the things that one need to confront, where I talk about a set of 3 beautiful questions helps to take stock of the situation and move forward. I've adopted these questions as a part of my yearly review of myself since 2019 (and also tailored it to my job needs). Worth repeating those 3 along with a bonus one I heard on some podcast.

  • What are those things that I ought to say, but not saying? 
  • What are those things that I'm saying but that is not being heard?
  • What are those things that are being said, but I'm not hearing?
  • What are those things that I'm hearing, but that are not said at all!?

Mercenary to Missionary to Artist

Heard in a podcast on a simple framework that Naval Ravikant suggests for both entrepreneurs and professionals:

Mercenary : Early in your career, do things for opportunity. Missionary : In the middle of your career, do things for change. Artist: Late in your career, do things for love.
