🔍What is hustle culture, and how can it affect you?

In recent years, especially with the rise of entrepreneurship and start-up culture, more and more individuals have embraced hustle culture, believing hard work and determination can turn every dream into reality. Social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube and Twitter are filled to the brim with lifestyle gurus and motivational speakers promoting the philosophy of ‘Rise and Grind’. They claim that slogging for 18 hours a day, maintaining a positive mindset and a never-give-up attitude are key to reaching the top.

Gs-4 : Ethics- Asilomar principles-The "Asilomar AI Principles"

🅾️Why are tech leaders calling for a pause on developing more powerful artificial intelligence systems?

🅾️The principles are organized into three broad categories: Research Issues, Ethics and Values, and Longer-Term Issues

Gs-4 : Ethics- Attitude- to solve social problems- social innovations

🅾️Chandra Mishra, a social worker from Odisha, has come up with a unique concept -- Beggars Corporation. And his slogan is ‘Don't Donate, Invest. And in the process, he has turned around the lives of 14 beggar families. Mishra returned the money to his initial investors within six months with a 16.5 per cent return on investment- Initially , he couldn't convince a single beggar to work with him- In 2021, when the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed for the second time, many beggars approached him for help. And Beggars Corporation was born in August, 2021.

🅾️A woman who used to beg on the ghats of Varanasi with her child was the first participant in Mishra's campaign. Her husband had thrown her out of the house, so the woman had no place to go. Mishra trained her in making bags and gave her a job as well.

🅾️Today he has turned 14 beggar families into entrepreneurs.

Gs-4 : Ethics- Innovation- Environmental ethics

🅾️This article showcases a very interesting idea- a social innovation to deal with the idea of climate change

🔶What I want you to take from this article is not just content but also the approach to think and deal with climate change

⚜️1. At global level- we have UNFCCC COP, UNCBD etc

⚜️2. At state level/ Society level- Look at institutions- usually we ignore private bodies and events- this is where maximum traction can be seen- IPL is one such event.

⚜️3. At individual level- Using religion or whatever ethical source one believes in - for example-

Thank you so much Sir for the unconditional support you have extended till now :) Means a lot coming from an IPS officer and a mentor for 1000s

🔰I am not someone who takes compliments gracefully- So i avoid posting appreciative feedback😅 But when we get unprecedented support like this, it should be acknowledged publicly, because It gives hope.

🔰Life has not been easy - A decade ago- when I wanted to be a writer- ( If you are interested you can read one of my short story -
click here😁 ) there were many naysayers- over this 10 years there were multiple failures, mistakes, heartbreaks- Life felt cruel - today- the same writing gave me this hope- So if this can help anyone reading this.... THERE IS HOPE, if we can make the stones hurled at us into milestones- To Every single soul who found value in my work and inspired me to push myself, A BIG THANK YOU- This is a new beginning🙏

🔰Will strive to maintain this work ethic and will continue to learn from my mistakes 🙂

Gratitude forever
