Making mistakes, failing at things is such a taboo.  I don't understand it. Because we all fail. Yes, some might not admit it, but truth is we all fail.  Making mistakes is the whole deal of being Human. It is the best way we #learn. How otherwise we will be sure of success? Obviously avoid your mistakes.  I understand this largely attributes to how our society works. People around us work. Whole definition of failure(or success) is defined and if you don't meet that criteria, Its a mistake.  e.g. Going to college is success, dropping out is failure,  Going to job is success, quitting a job because you are not happy there is a mistake etc. How about defining what success means to YOU? and working towards it. Also while making the journey, not taking mistakes, failures at heart and just treat it as a setback.  For me at this juncture, success means being better version of me than I was yesterday. Personally or professionally.  Success means comfortable ...

"It Always Seems Impossible Until it's done" ~ Nelson Mandela It is pretty obvious that I like this quote. I use it everywhere, all the time. I remember this quote at least once a day. I use this quote almost in any situation I am in, when I am down, frustrated, excited, sad, happy, failed, succeeded. This quote keeps me going.  I use it because I know it is true. I have seen it working.  In 2018 I decided to tweet at least once here.  I did it. In 2015, I decided to run a half marathon, I had never run before. I ran Mumbai half Marathon.  July 2020 - I decided to be an entrepreneur. I started. I am in the making. 4th November, 2020 I decided to write everyday on this blog, I did it. This is my 100th post.  I could. That is what I wanted to know, that it is possible. It is possible if you really want it to be.  If you are still skeptical about doing anything, do trust and just start. It is possible. "It Always Seems Impossible Until it's done" ~ Nelson Mand...

Have you ever seen, met person who is pursuing MBA or recently finished one? Evident characteristic of most MBAs is confidence. They are beaming with it and ready to take over a corporate job which is meticulously designed 'NOT to FAIL' Before anyone who has done MBA, decides to get offended. Let me share, I am holder of the degree. I am glad I pursued it and enjoyed good outcomes.  Yes, I believe corporate jobs are safety net for assured success rather protect you from failure. Even most risky moves, projects taken by companies guarantee 'non-failure'. Some projects, moves, products may not succeed but it does not lead these companies to fail. Confident MBAs at all levels in these companies ensure non failure. Leaders all around the world move with confidence. What they lack and never taught about is using guts.  Guts is taking a chance to be proven wrong. To fail willingly.  At no school guts is discussed. Value of failure, taking a risk when there is no guaranteed ou...

Everyone is thinking about SAME things. How to grow? How to grow in terms of money, power, connect, influence? How to improve our health, relationships, happiness? EVERYONE.  From Jeff Bezoz, Zuckerberg, Ambani, Tatas to your friend, colleague, next door neighbor and you. EVERYONE is always thinking about how to grow? It has nothing to do with where you are, how much you have? Our basic line of thinking is always the same. What differs us from one another is, what we do about our thoughts.  If it is about getting healthy, some of us are making choices to eat right food, do exercise. Results differ in proportion to inputs. Some of us are only thinking and doing nothing about it.  If it about growing ourselves, some of us are learning new skills, reading books, writing, helping others, picking a new hobby. Some of us are only thinking and doing nothing about it. If it is about improving our financial stability, Some of us are saving, investing, learning how to invest, cr...

No matter what your choices are, at any given point of time you will find people who support your choices and who criticizes it. This is true for any decision, any life choice you make. Small or big. Consequential or otherwise. You may as well choose what you want. It is a simple yet hard lifehack. One of the most life changing decision I've ever made for myself early in life.  Every time you put yourself behind others desires, you are saying No to yourself. Sometimes it is okay, sometimes it is necessary. But it is not ok if it happens more in favor of others than you or most of the time or all the time. Like, You are going to have a pizza where your friend likes to eat. You like it too, but not as much as your friend does.  Your friend likes to watch action movies, you like them to but you enjoy comedy more.  Your brother or sister wants to watch sports when you want to listen to music.  You are working on a project when your colleague comes and asks your help...

  I want to change the world.  I have always been pro change person. I like changes.  I lead changes.  I am fascinated  by changes. Changes, that many forms life has to offer, the way we look at things, the way we do things and things itself.  Now, more than ever I see many people saying that they wanted to change the world. Its good and inspiring. I have always tried to understand what it means to change the world. Here is what I have understood,  Change people's mind - Change people's mind on what they think, how they think, the way they act. This is applicable to all aspects of life.  Use new process, new tool, new product, read, write, sleep, meditate, eat plants, don't eat plants, eat meat, don't eat meat, dairy, non-dairy, water, less water, less energy, cash, cashless, use cars, don't use cars, shops, e-commerce, internet, use social media, don't use social media etc. List is endless. Everyone who wants to change the world irrespective of ...
