The Simple Guy

About Me

Hello World! πŸ‘‹

I am Vikram Aditya (also Aditya Kumar and ηŽ‹ι˜³ζ˜Ž (Wang Yangming)). My life is guided by a single core value inspired by the Buddha’s wisdom: β€œWhat we think, we become.”

Building upon this wisdom, I have defined five core values that guide my actions and decisions of my life:

1. Ethics is Fundamental

Integrity is non-negotiable in how we live and work. This is practiced by respecting everything equally β€” treating people, work, and nature with the same level of respect.

2. Be Present

This means focusing on one thing at a time and giving it full attention. It helps value each moment, avoid wasting time, and turn small actions into big accomplishments.

3. Love and Respect Yourself

Self-care and self-respect form the foundation for everything else. Avoid complaints, accept circumstances, and take action. Stay humble, hungry for knowledge, and grounded.

4. Contribute Proactively

Focus on what can be given rather than received. Create value, commit to continuous learning, take bold action, and pursue simple ideas with deep focus.

5. Courage, Discipline, and Consistency

Begin with courage to start and discipline to continue. Small daily actions accumulate into significant results. Focus on process, not perfection β€” progress matters most.

This website is part of my 100-day challenge β€” a small experiment where I aim to get 1% better every day. Here, I share my personal experiences, thoughts, and learnings. If you notice some sections incomplete, that simply means I’m still building and improving.
