"BACKABLE" - book by Suneel Gupta

 



"Backable" by Suneel Gupta explores how to inspire belief in your ideas, combining storytelling, resilience, and practical strategies to succeed. While I recommend you to read it here are some Concepts from Backable I found interesting:

The Backable Mindset: The book highlights the importance of adopting a mindset that attracts support. Gupta discusses how successful people who are often seen as "backable" tend to approach challenges, communicate their vision, and create momentum. Below is an extract from first chapter he talks about how we should convince ourselves first with an idea before even sharing it with others:

"When an idea first enters your mind, it's not fully formed, and certainly not prepared to interact with the real world. But because we're excited about the possibility, we make the mistake of inviting people in when the idea isn't ready. Every time I'm fired up about a new idea, I feel an impulse to share it immediately.
But at this premature stage, even the most positive-intentioned reaction can crush the spirit of an idea. If you don't get the reaction you're looking for, it can instantly deflate your energy. Moreover, you haven't taken the time to articulate what's inside your head, so you share it in a half-baked way - expecting a fully baked response.
When that reaction doesn't come, it saps your enthusiasm."

MDK Hospital opened in Horana

Image
Horana is getting a brand new private hospital! The M.D.K Healthcare Center & Hospital has just opened its doors on Anguruwathota Road, right next to the HNB bank branch. For years, many had to travel to Colombo for certain medical treatments, but hopes with new private hospital this will change. This new hospital, built by local businessman Mr. M.D. Piyananda Kularathna, comes with all the modern medical equipment we've been hoping for. It's wonderful to see such a major investment in Horana community's health. To makes this even better, I hope they have brought in highly skilled doctors and medical staff. No more long trips to Colombo for routine treatments! The hospital looks quite impressive too - modern and clean, just what you'd expect from a proper healthcare centre. The location is perfect as well. Being on Anguruwathota Road means it's easy to find and get to, whether you're coming from the town centre or surrounding areas. I've already notice...

Disable single quote Within Forms

This is a good method taught to me by my friend to disable any character in the keyboard Within Forms in your web page/ web application. A simple and effective method to disable specific characters (like single quotes) within form inputs on your webpage or web application. The Code <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function stopRKey(evt) { // Normalize the event object evt = evt || window.event; // For debugging - shows the keyCode console.log(evt.keyCode); // Block single quote (39 or 222 depending on browser) if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 222) { return false; } } // Attach the event handler to the document document.onkeypress = stopRKey; </script> </head> <body> <h3>Test Area</h3> <textarea rows="5"></text...

Good lesson for life

Hi readers, I got this from a email.. I learned smthing from it and like if read and do the same.. There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge  things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.  The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.  When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen  The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of  promise.  The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.  The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.  The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because the...
