Sometimes we wonder how some people seem to be at the right place and the right time and have all the luck. I do not believe in luck as there is a lot more than what we hear of these “success stories”. As the quote implies, it is pointless having a great car that isContinue reading “My Fishy Formula to Shine – 3 P”

Materialism
Anything in excess is bad. Materialism, afflicting both, the rich and the poor, is in every way self-destructive. There is a strong relation between being materialistic and feeling empty, unhappy. We have a real problem on our hand when we couple materialism with our fintech boom, where you can easily get a loan with aContinue reading “Materialism”
What to do instead of comparing?
We often catch ourselves playing the comparison game. Each of us have our own triggers that cause us to fall into the trap of comparing, thus resulting in our confidence taking a nose dive! We all know the gut wrenching feeling that arises when we see or hear something that immediately has us second guessingContinue reading “What to do instead of comparing?”
You don’t know everything!
The first time I heard of Bill Nye was on the Big Bang Theory! His show, Bill Nye The Science Guy, was such a hit it was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards and won 19! After his show was over in 1998, he continued trying to make the world a better place through education. NowContinue reading “You don’t know everything!”
Debating with Donkeys

To end this controversy, both went to Lion – King of Jungle. In the middle of the animal kingdom, sitting on theContinue reading “Debating with Donkeys”

A chrysalis is the formContinue reading “Chrysalis ~ Why the caterpillar must die”
Lead by Example
When I think of leading by example, the first person that comes to mind is Pope Francis. I still vividly remember the tv coverage for the first few days after his election. On the day he was elected Pope, he broke several hitherto practised protocols: he preferred his ordinary black shoes to the papal redContinue reading “Lead by Example”
Chip Away At Yourself Everyday
On August 16, 1501, Michelangelo was chosen to the execute the herculean task of sculpting the greatest sculpture ever created, The David. Shortly after receiving the commission, Michelangelo set to work. From a massive block of marble excavated in Northern Tuscany, he chipped away, day after day, week after week, month after month…until just overContinue reading “Chip Away At Yourself Everyday”
It’s never too late to change your life
Too often we catch ourselves on autopilot mode, caught in the same routine, the same 9-5 grind. Unhappy, unfulfilled, and uninspired we go through life counting time instead of making time count. While it is perfectly normal to crave routine, there is so much more to be discovered outside of our comfort zones. We tend toContinue reading “It’s never too late to change your life”
