| 00:00.000 --> 00:04.920 | |
| Now, what is our objective? | |
| 00:04.920 --> 00:10.440 | |
| Our objective is to maximize the magnitude of our potential, ensure that it is used in | |
| 00:10.440 --> 00:15.320 | |
| the right direction, and maximize our peace of mind. | |
| 00:15.320 --> 00:18.200 | |
| How do we do that? | |
| 00:18.200 --> 00:21.480 | |
| This is how the cycle works. | |
| 00:21.480 --> 00:27.040 | |
| If we are able to maximize the magnitude of our potential and ensure that it is applied | |
| 00:27.040 --> 00:29.280 | |
| in the right direction. | |
| 00:29.280 --> 00:35.800 | |
| We maximize our potential, and that automatically leads to peace of mind, as far as our work | |
| 00:35.800 --> 00:37.080 | |
| is concerned. | |
| 00:37.080 --> 00:43.520 | |
| In this case, you are working at your highest ability and depth, and in the right direction. | |
| 00:43.520 --> 00:49.480 | |
| So for a positive, healthy purpose, you will be peaceful about what you do, even though | |
| 00:49.480 --> 00:53.160 | |
| you face challenges as you go along. | |
| 00:53.160 --> 00:57.600 | |
| But how do you achieve that depth and the right direction? | |
| 00:57.600 --> 01:04.240 | |
| For that, you need clarity of thought, the ability to think clearly, and in the right | |
| 01:04.240 --> 01:06.560 | |
| manner. | |
| 01:06.560 --> 01:09.440 | |
| How do you achieve clarity of thought? | |
| 01:09.440 --> 01:13.560 | |
| Through contemplation on the right values. | |
| 01:13.560 --> 01:16.640 | |
| So here is the cycle again. | |
| 01:16.640 --> 01:21.480 | |
| Contemplation on your work leads to depth of thought, because you think about a matter | |
| 01:21.480 --> 01:26.480 | |
| very deeply, so gain insights about it. | |
| 01:26.480 --> 01:31.320 | |
| Contemplation on the right values leads to clarity of thought, which ensures that you | |
| 01:31.320 --> 01:34.160 | |
| move in the right direction. | |
| 01:34.160 --> 01:40.720 | |
| Once you are able to think clearly and in the right direction, you maximize your potential, | |
| 01:40.720 --> 01:44.720 | |
| and in turn, your peace of mind. | |
| 01:44.720 --> 01:47.440 | |
| What is the Adios framework? | |
| 01:47.440 --> 01:53.040 | |
| Adios stands for a dialogue in objective silence. | |
| 01:53.040 --> 01:56.160 | |
| Adios is about contemplation. | |
| 01:56.160 --> 02:01.640 | |
| Contemplation on the right values and on matters that matter. | |
| 02:01.640 --> 02:08.040 | |
| It is a dialogue between you and yourself, so you get to know yourself better. | |
| 02:08.040 --> 02:13.940 | |
| It is an objective or an unbiased dialogue with yourself, so you can make the right | |
| 02:13.940 --> 02:20.440 | |
| decisions, even if a part of you feels it is difficult to make them or pulls you towards | |
| 02:20.440 --> 02:25.960 | |
| thinking about things such as valuation rather than values and vision. | |
| 02:25.960 --> 02:31.160 | |
| And it is silence that helps you focus and go deep within, so you can make those decisions | |
| 02:31.160 --> 02:34.640 | |
| that are right for you. | |
| 02:34.640 --> 02:38.540 | |
| Silence includes physical and technological silence. | |
| 02:38.540 --> 02:44.480 | |
| You set yourself away from all external noise and things that might distract you, so you | |
| 02:44.480 --> 02:46.920 | |
| can focus. | |
| 02:46.920 --> 02:54.840 | |
| So Adios is a method you use to have an objective dialogue with yourself silently on an ongoing | |
| 02:54.840 --> 03:02.240 | |
| basis, so you achieve clarity of thought and through that, maximize your potential and | |
| 03:02.240 --> 03:05.160 | |
| peace of mind. | |
| 03:05.160 --> 03:07.720 | |
| How do you use Adios for this purpose? | |
| 03:07.720 --> 03:11.920 | |
| We will work with its core tool, contemplation. | |
| 03:11.920 --> 03:13.760 | |
| But what exactly is contemplation? | |
| 03:13.760 --> 03:17.680 | |
| How do we define it for the purpose of Adios? | |
| 03:17.680 --> 03:23.720 | |
| While thinking can be thought of as a process that occurs quickly, contemplation on the | |
| 03:23.720 --> 03:29.720 | |
| other hand can be defined as a process of thinking deeply about a matter and analyzing | |
| 03:29.720 --> 03:33.040 | |
| it in great detail. | |
| 03:33.040 --> 03:36.520 | |
| Contemplation helps us see things we otherwise are unable to see. | |
| 03:36.520 --> 03:41.200 | |
| It helps us see things much more clearly. | |
| 03:41.200 --> 03:45.040 | |
| Contemplation is the mother of clarity. | |
| 03:45.040 --> 03:50.200 | |
| When we contemplate on certain matters for a long time, we gain deep insights into the | |
| 03:50.200 --> 03:55.400 | |
| subject or the problem, and that is how we build depth of thought. | |
| 03:55.400 --> 04:01.000 | |
| That is how we increase the magnitude of our potential. | |
| 04:01.000 --> 04:03.440 | |
| The opposite of this is shallowness of thought. | |
| 04:03.440 --> 04:08.000 | |
| If you haven't really thought about it deeply, your understanding of the issue at hand or | |
| 04:08.000 --> 04:11.560 | |
| the problem would be superficial. | |
| 04:11.560 --> 04:15.040 | |
| It isn't just the intelligence that helps you. | |
| 04:15.040 --> 04:20.520 | |
| Given two people with the same level of average intelligence, the one who contemplates will | |
| 04:20.520 --> 04:27.800 | |
| always find insights, hidden patterns, not so obvious connections that can only be found | |
| 04:27.800 --> 04:30.960 | |
| in a state of deep thought. | |
| 04:30.960 --> 04:37.560 | |
| It is contemplation and not just intelligence that creates a Newton or an Einstein. | |
| 04:37.560 --> 04:44.560 | |
| And in many instances, average intelligence plus deep contemplation far surpasses superior | |
| 04:44.560 --> 04:48.560 | |
| intelligence with little contemplation. | |
| 04:48.560 --> 04:51.280 | |
| Contemplation is the mother of clarity. | |
| 04:51.280 --> 04:56.800 | |
| Silence and contemplation is the technology stack of the future. | |
| 04:56.800 --> 05:01.100 | |
| This is the technology you need to master if you are serious about doing something truly | |
| 05:01.100 --> 05:03.400 | |
| inspiring. | |
| 05:03.400 --> 05:09.960 | |
| And anything that comes in the way of your contemplation is bad for you, bad for your | |
| 05:09.960 --> 05:14.560 | |
| potential and hence bad for your startup. | |
| 05:14.560 --> 05:20.280 | |
| So remember this big picture and draw a chart for yourself in your journal. | |
| 05:20.280 --> 05:28.260 | |
| A startup has two purposes, to maximize your potential and your peace of mind. | |
| 05:28.260 --> 05:32.540 | |
| Contemplation has two parts, magnitude and direction. | |
| 05:32.540 --> 05:37.900 | |
| To maximize the magnitude of your potential, you contemplate on your vision. | |
| 05:37.900 --> 05:43.180 | |
| To ensure you move in the right direction, you contemplate on the right values. | |
| 05:43.180 --> 05:46.860 | |
| And you do this silently. | |
| 05:46.860 --> 05:52.660 | |
| This contemplation on the vision and the right values provides depth of thought and clarity | |
| 05:52.660 --> 05:54.780 | |
| of thought. | |
| 05:54.780 --> 05:59.220 | |
| Depth of thought provides new insights about your work. | |
| 05:59.220 --> 06:03.540 | |
| Clarity of thought ensures that you make the right decisions. | |
| 06:03.540 --> 06:10.980 | |
| Making the right decisions leads to peace of mind and financial success is a byproduct. | |
| 06:10.980 --> 06:16.580 | |
| And in the process, you would most likely have created something truly inspiring for | |
| 06:16.580 --> 06:22.580 | |
| others to learn from and not just a financially successful company. | |
| 06:22.580 --> 06:28.620 | |
| So if you really want your stock options to work for you, change the narrative, change | |
| 06:28.620 --> 06:31.180 | |
| the conversation. | |
| 06:31.180 --> 06:37.020 | |
| Values and vision is the conversation you need to have with your team members. | |
| 06:37.020 --> 06:40.780 | |
| Valuation is not the right conversation to have. | |
| 06:40.780 --> 06:43.340 | |
| Here is the sequence. | |
| 06:43.340 --> 06:48.420 | |
| Start with going silent and looking inward instead of outward. | |
| 06:48.420 --> 06:51.380 | |
| Focus on your individual values. | |
| 06:51.380 --> 06:55.180 | |
| Set your vision out of those values. | |
| 06:55.180 --> 06:59.020 | |
| Look for people who share those values and vision. | |
| 06:59.020 --> 07:03.620 | |
| And then the conversation with them is, we all are enthusiastic about this vision. | |
| 07:03.620 --> 07:05.460 | |
| So let us make it happen. | |
| 07:05.460 --> 07:11.260 | |
| And yes, by the way, should we win the day, here are stock options for you. | |
| 07:11.260 --> 07:17.780 | |
| So you also share the financial value we all create while we achieve our vision. | |
| 07:17.780 --> 07:19.780 | |
| Values and vision is the way to go. | |
