Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Commencement Address, American University in Beirut, 2016
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- MEDIUM.COM -- I hesitate to give advice because every major single piece of advice I was given turned out to be wrong and I am glad I didn't follow them. If I had to relive my life I would be even more stubborn and uncompromising than I have been.... So I will tell you what tricks I employ. (1) Do not read the newspapers, or follow the news in any way or form. To be convinced, try reading last years' newspaper. It doesn't mean ignore the news; ... (2) If something is nonsense, you say it and say it loud. You will be harmed a little but will be antifragile - in the long run people who need to trust you will trust you. Treat the ...

IIS.AC.UK -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Must read for all Ismailis.] ARTICLE: This summary, of the easy to read book "Assassin Legends: Myths of the Ismailis," published by the IIS, details how legends about Ismailis were "fabricated and put into circulation by Europeans." It clears up critical misunderstandings about Ismailis and Hasan bin Sabbah, such as their use of hashish -- a drug -- which would have been counter-productive to successfully completing discrete and delicate missions Ismaili fidais undertook. ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
