 - Baby elephants can walk very shortly after birth. They are typically able to stand within 20 minutes and walk within an hour of being born. This is a survival mechanism, as it allows them to keep up with the herd, which is crucial for finding food and water and staying safe from predators.  Here's a more detailed look: Standing: A newborn elephant calf can usually stand on its own within 20 minutes after birth.  Walking: Within an hour, the calf will be able to walk, though it may be wobbly at first.  Keeping Pace: After just a couple of days, the calf will be strong enough to keep up with the herd as they move and migrate.  Survival Advantage: This ability to quickly walk is a crucial adaptation for survival in the wild.  Tending to the Calf: The mother and other females in the herd will help the calf stand and nurse, guiding it and providing support until it can walk independently.  Source: Gemini AI search

-"Managing" is less visible than other kinds of work. Subordinate work tends to be almost all visible labor—crunching numbers, moving things, etc. This all but guarantees that subordinates will appear to be working harder—they are working harder on a physical level and humans are visual. Mentally, emotionally, and strategically, managers tend to have the more challenging job, but that depends. Many managers do take advantage of the "behind the curtains" nature of their work and don't work as hard as they could. Others work themselves into the ground even though it may not seem like it. Like many things, this is a case-by-case deal. To make it more tangible, I suppose a manager could write down how his/her time is spent (maybe an hourly recap). Even if it was just for a day, I think it would be enlightening for the company. By: Stephen Guise, answered on Quora

           I wrote this article as soon as I ended my trip using two-wheeler self-service bike ‘Bounce’ at Bangalore. It was unbelievable, for 7 km I was charged 25 Rs. ( Not even half of the USA $ ), imagine the affordable cost in a city like Bangalore. The bike was brand new, it had ridden around just 1100 km. Who are these people who started this convenient service, are they ‘entrepreneurs’, yes they are. You can think of Ola, OYO, Paytm and many more startup examples. Image source:  https://casanuratti.com/2018/11 I always think why so many graduates get into job lines instead of opening assembly lines (I.e. Factory).

Introduction from  Bull's-Eye by Brian Tracy We are living in the greatest time in all of human history. Despite short-term economic fluctuations, there have never been more opportunities for more people to achieve more of their goals than there are today. The fact is, you have more potential than you could use in a hundred lifetimes. And the more of your potential you use, the more potential becomes available to you. The more you learn, the more you can learn. There is no reason for you not to be earning twice as much as you are today, or even five or ten times as much.
