Big B on work ethics, says social media scrolling, family, friends are distractions

Amitabh Bachchan talks about work ethics and how social media scrolling, spending more time with family, friends are distractions

Amitabh Bachchan frequently shares personal reflections, thoughts on life, and updates from his professional journey through his blog. He makes sure to never miss his blog updates as he loves to connect with his fans through it. With a career spanning more than five decades in Indian cinema, the legendary actor often uses the platform to speak about work ethics, social media, and changing times.In his latest post, Bachchan reflected on a lesson he recently came across about Steve Jobs and his philosophy on focus. Drawing inspiration from the late Apple visionary, the actor wrote about the importance of distinguishing between “signal” and “noise” in life.He began the note by writing, “Read some most inspiring words on life and work ethics ..two words … Signal and Noise .. signal as in focus.”Explaining the idea further, Big B added, “When you focus, the only matter that gets you going is what needs to be done. Not in a few days, not tomorrow, not any specific time … ITS DO IT NOW !!!! Noise is all other attractions for social relevance, spending time scrolling media, spending more time with friends or even family .. these are distraction on the FOCUS.. and are referred to as NOISE .. So either you decide to go with Focus, Signal, or Noise. The fruits come from Focus .. a most amazing education from Steve Jobs.”Last month, the veteran actor had also shared his thoughts on the growing influence of social media and the rapid spread of information online. Reflecting on how technology has transformed communication and attention spans, he wrote, “The speed of knowing is now at the press of a button .. not the ‘think button’ of the cerebrum .. that has been overshadowed by this medium called the ‘net’ .. and the revelations coerce one to follow the latest and drive past the earlier usual. For those that have lived past the early times and live now to be overwhelmed by strikingly different methodology , it is a fascinating tale of time. ‘Times’ were ever an important element to rely upon .. and they do bring in honourable nostalgia .. understood by them that have lived through the past .. for the ‘present’ it perhaps does not come into consideration .. they are involved in the ‘now’, just as we were when we were their age, facing new inventions and directives.”On work front, Bachchan was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin.
