The Utilitarian way of thinking questions “how can I use my resources to create the maximum amount of “utility” (well-being or happiness) for the greatest number of people?”
In this framework, money is not a goal or a status symbol; it is a tool for impact.
Success isn’t just about who you know; it’s about the social architecture of your life. To truly evolve, you need a balanced “inner circle” that functions like a ladder. At the top, you need three mentors—the “deities” who challenge your limits and pull you toward excellence. As the Stoic philosopher Seneca noted, we must model ourselves after those who have already mastered the path.
However, true mastery is only solidified through teaching. By extending a hand to two mentees, you ground your knowledge and “lift as you climb.” This dual-action growth—inspired by Tai Lopez’s Law of 33% and Jim Rohn’s Rule of Five—ensures you are constantly reaching for your potential while anchoring your progress. Are you ready to stop drifting and start climbing? Discover how to curate the five people who will define your future.
There are number of good non English movies and TV series that can change the way any one think and look at this world and life in it. Here are some of my favorites.
History has always been a lens for understanding the present, but for me it has become something more: a blueprint for designing better systems. As someone who works in data analytics and data engineering, I see striking parallels between Renaissance Florence and modern data platforms, especially when watching Medici: Masters of Florence and Medici: The Magnificent.
As a data analytics and data engineering professional, most learning happens in front of SQL editors,
dashboards, and documentation tools. Yet some of the most valuable lessons about systems, power,
and human behavior come from an unexpected place: historical drama.
One recent example is Versailles, a three-season series about King Louis XIV and the creation
of the Palace of Versailles. The show explores how a young monarch centralizes power by relocating
the French court from Paris to Versailles, transforming a hunting lodge into a tightly controlled
system of influence, politics, and authority. It is a world of shifting alliances, hidden agendas,
poisoners, and enemies operating at every level of status and power.
