- Perspective: News and Social Media expose us to a lot of information which might lead us to believe that we need to have an opinion on everything to be a well-informed citizen. Reading a dozen of tweets or a couple of articles is not enough to have a well-constructed opinion. I have found that by avoiding this P; I have a lot of mental space available for important things.
- Predictions: We make predictions by being aware of 1 or 2 variables, whereas, in reality, there might be 100 variables. Avoid making predictions unless absolutely necessary.
- Persuasion: People don't change after their 20s. So, it's better to choose than to change. DCBC.
- Politics: My energy is better utilized by solving personal problems than by thinking about people. I will not have voting rights for another 5-6 years so there is no incentive for me to even talk about politics at all.
The central premise is that I dont know anything and I should not get into any area at all unless I want to become an expert in it (and earn money in it).
The other honorable mention that I avoid is Punjabi.
