The rules of work : Book Review

The author starts by easing us into his rules, things like volunteer carefully, get your work noticed, carve out a niche, under promise and overdeliver are all pretty obvious and pretty simple rules. You don’t want to volunteer for everything else you won’t have time to do your actual job, you want your work noticed, of course, it’s pretty soul draining if not.

📌The Rules of Work” breaks downs the dos and don’ts of the workplace in ten sections each containing ten rules. Templar’s writing style is very brief and straight forward.

🎯Templar realizes its cutthroat competition world out there and there’s no time to pitch around everyone’s feelings. His book is for the super ambitious types that truly want to excel in the workforce and reach their full potential.

🎯The author calls these people “Rules Players.” If you don’t want to elucidate to his rules, then he advises you to put down his book and carry on with how you perform at work currently.

💭 My verdict

I personally love reading this book. Some rules were known to me and I skipped reading those.

It is a one-page = one day = one rule book.

Would I recommend it? Yes ☑️

The Verstappen Mentality

As a sincere , loyal , and a hardcore F1 fan I've always rooted for Charles and Carlos. I've seen ups and downs in past races as well but lately I've become addicted to the mindset Redbull driver Max Verstappen possess. In modern Formula 1, few names command as much respect as Max Verstappen. Known for his aggressive racing style, precision under pressure, and sheer determination, Verstappen has redefined what it means to dominate the track. His rise to multiple world championships is his approach about strategy, mindset, and an unwavering will to win. The Strategy of Consistency Championships aren’t won by just one or two spectacular victories—they are built on consistency. Verstappen has mastered the art of extracting maximum performance from his car every single weekend. Even on circuits where Red Bull isn’t the outright favorite, he manages to stay in podium contention, minimizing damage and maximizing points. Over a long season, this consistency becomes th...

Learn to be alone 🍃

"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself." — Michel de Montaigne We live in a world that glorifies noise, speed, and constant connection. Notifications flood our days, conversations swirl endlessly, and the silence of solitude often feels like an empty room we’re afraid to enter. Yet, in truth, learning to be alone is not loneliness—it is an art, a sanctuary, a gentle return to oneself. --- The Poetry of Solitude "In solitude, the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself." — Laurence Sterne Being alone is not about isolation; it is about listening. It is the quiet cup of tea at dawn, when the world still dreams. It is the walk through falling leaves, where each crunch underfoot speaks louder than words. It is the moment you hear your own heart whisper, “I am enough.” When you embrace solitude, you begin to hear the rhythm of your inner world. You discover that your thoughts are not enemies but companions, your silenc...

Ferrari is my red flag 🏎️🚩

When Ferrari Falls, My Heart Breaks Too 💔 There’s a strange kind of silence after a Ferrari loss. It isn’t just the end of a race—it feels like the end of a dream I was carrying in my chest. I sit there, eyes fixed on the screen long after the cars have crossed the finish line, wondering how something so fast, so powerful, so iconic… could still slip away. And every time it happens, it’s not just Ferrari that loses. It feels like I lose a little piece of myself too. Because Ferrari isn’t just a team. Ferrari is history, passion, fire wrapped in red. It’s the thunder of Monza, the echo of legends, the hope of glory. Supporting them isn’t a choice—it’s a bond, like blood running in scarlet. When they lead, my pulse races with them. When they fight, I feel every corner, every overtaking move, every risk taken. And when they stumble… my heart drops. It’s a heartbreak that lingers, one you carry quietly, even as the world moves on to the next race. What hurts the most is the wa...
