प्राचीन तत्त्वज्ञान का कवटाळत असतील?
about stoicism a little bit differently,
टिकून राहण्यासाठी
in high-stress environments,

स्वादुपिंडाच्या कॅन्सरमुळे मरण पावला.
I was going to marry, walked out.
ती माझी मैत्रीण मला दुरावली.

"डियर जॉन" लिहिलेलं पत्र दिलं नाही, तर
to put on my desk for personal health,

on my first real business.
काम करीत होतो. चाचपडत होतो.
I was working 14-plus hour days,
जास्त काम करीत होतो.
उत्तेजक औषधं घेत होतो.
to wind down and go to sleep.
to try to find answers.
सुलभता या विषयावरचं एक पुस्तक आणलं.

scenarios, in detail, that you fear,
आपण काही करू धजत नाही, अशावेळी
to overcome that paralysis.
काहीतरी करू शकतो.
super loud, very incessant.
मोठमोठ्याने अखंड बडबडणारं.
through problems doesn't work.
विचार करून भागत नाही.
like goal-setting,
quitting a job, starting a company.
व्यवसाय सुरु करणं,
my first vacation in four years
चार वर्षांत प्रथमच
for a month to go to London,
व्यवसायापासून लांब लंडनला जाऊन
in a friend's room for free,
as a bottleneck in the business
things you can imagine happening
सर्व वाईट गोष्टींबद्दलच्या
but I'll give you two examples.
it'll be rainy, I'll get depressed,

a letter from the IRS,
how had people handled this in the past.
अशा वेळी लोक काय करतात?
as you're doing this first page is:
एक प्रश्न लक्षात ठेवायला हवा.
आपल्याहून कमी चातुर्य
of an attempt or a partial success?
मिळण्याचे फायदे काय असू शकतील?
look at the upside.
जरा बेतानेच बघतो आहोत.

so don't skip it:
what might go wrong
काय चुका होऊ शकतील
say, ask for a raise.
उदा. पगारवाढ मागणे.
is the atrocious cost of the status quo --
हा निर्णय घेणं टाळलं,
say, six months, 12 months, three years?
तीन वर्षांनंतर, माझं आयुष्य कसं असेल?
