My Happiness Project - Keys to Daily Happiness

  I believe everyone has one common goal in life, which is to be happy. It has also been well established that you can’t really pursue happiness but rather it is the result of concerted action towards your closely cherished dreams. Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” What are the keys to happiness? Happiness has been defined as the progressive realization of a worthy goal, which means if you have a predetermined outcome you are working towards, then that journey enhances your happiness. The other key principle to be happy is to not be attached to the outcome. Yes, we should set challenging goals, but if the outcome is different, we should be detached and practice acceptance. Another thing I have learned is not to label things as either bad or good. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes we don’t understand why it happened. Only when we attain some distance from the actual event do we understand the re...

Transformative power of AI

  Mastering AI by Jeremy Kahn was an excellent book I read this week on the subject. His main premise is that the light bulb moment for AI came in Nov 30th 2022 with ChatGPT. The significant difference in this technology is the pace of disruption which is unparalleled and potentially impact our livelihood. I agree that AI should be used to augment humans and not replace them. Jeremy Kahn's concluding thoughts: "Individually and collectively, we must have courage. Like every other technology that has come before, we can master AI. But to do so, we must master ourselves. We must apply our own natural intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. If this is indeed the last invention humanity ever creates, we'd better make it good." I agree and this is a great read. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Generative AI has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation with far-reaching implications across various industries. In this article, I will explore the uses, d...
