Thoughts

 I am not super sure on what to write today, but I know I will be writing about something. Whatever that something is. In fact, this time the structure will be the same, the what, the why and the how. It's been a while that I made a blog with complete authenticity. But I feel this is the right time to have a blog with complete authenticity. We need to have more and more of such blogs where we have authenticity. I am not even going to lie. But I need to understand what is love. What is love truly and how do we even have more of it. So I think love is beyond all of us. Love is not just a person. Love can be anything, but I can go more deeper, because love in itself is a feeling.  This is so true. Love is what you've been through with somebody. I really like this quote because a lot of times we confuse love with the good days. Of course the good old days. But I think what he says here is love is what you've been through with somebody. It's about the bad days. The tough day...

Forget the outcome completely. Forget everything about the outcome. I feel it's important to forget that part. The best part about life comes when you forget the outcome and live independently irrespective of the outcome. I feel like that's where growth really happens. We start noticing things that we couldn't do before we are doing it very easily. Forget the past, forget the future. Live in the present moment.  Get your passion on the paper. Detach from the outcome. Forget whether it's going to get published. I love this statement. What he says is that you need to get your passion on paper and completely detach from the outcome. Forget about whether anything is going to get published. This is more for the creative writers in the world. Every time you think about something you are putting more of you in that. I feel like when you think about whether the paper is going to be published, you don't really have a creative way of doing things. It's experimental. When ...

 I am not super sure on what's the topic for today. But live your life one day at a time. We are here right now in the present moment. Anyways, so we're going to talk about something important. Maybe there's something in my mind that I need to talk about. I feel like we need to think about pausing. Why is pausing really important? It's basically our ability to rethink and strategize back again. The more you pause the better. The less you think about the outcome the better. I feel it's an important part of life, that you pause and rethink stuff. It's not wrong, it's essential in life.  Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective. A lot of us times we are rushing through lives, especially because of our mobile phones we feel the need to do everything at once. However, doing everything at once does not help. We need to slow things down. Don't haste everything. Pause, rethink and move in a direction through logic and not through emotio...

Kobe Bryant:  Today I want to talk about Kobe Bryant and how amazing a player he was. To me he is one of the greatest basketball players to exist, and dying in such a tragic way was heart breaking. It was tough, tough on the heart, tough on the eye. However, what really mattered is where we go from here. We need to learn from his story and how his life is an example of resilience and courage. If you think about it, he was literally like the Michael Jordan of his era.  Love this. " The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do ". In fact every great person I have seen has a mission of impacting people in some way or the other. Kobe was the same. He thought that the most important thing is to try and inspire people. Like we talk about purpose, somehow we needed to do something that inspires purpose within people. Kobe's purpose was to inspire the world and that translated into him becoming the person that he is. ...

 I only believe in Jassi bhai, only game changer player he is. These were the words of Siraj. I believe this is a such a wonderful thing.  I love this thought by Jasprit. There is always pressure, but you don't try to think of the pressure. I focus on one ball at a time and think of what I need to do on that ball. Wow, that's s such an interesting way to put. In life also, I think we need to just focus on one ball at a time, which technically means one day at a time. I believe that is how we should look at things, one ball at a time and one hour at a time in life. This removes a lot of distractions that we might have. One ball, one day at a time, one hour a time. One minute at a time. I would also go on to say one second at a time. Imagine if you lived your life one day and one hour at a time. It would be so wonderful. I'm thinking more about this, but let's think about a life lived one hour at a time. We won't be thinking too much about anything else. Just doing wh...

 What So, let's write about something cool today. Putting in energy is a very cool topic to me so let me talk about that. Let's put in our full thrust to whatever it is that we are doing. So, one of the things I know is that positive energy is really important. It's one of those things which cannot be seen but felt and that feeling never lies. In fact, negative energy also never lies. So, let's talk about energy and how to put in more energy at everything that we do. I think energy also boils down to being present. But let's go with this and expand a few quotes. So, what is energy in itself? Energy is the ability to do work. Energy comes from light and even food. Energy comes from people and animals. Energy comes from anywhere literally anywhere. The idea is we are basically converting one form of energy to the other. Plants get energy from the Sun using photosynthesis, then we eat plants so technically we get energy from plants. Other animals eat plants getting ene...

I was thinking about writing about perseverance. Perseverance is not a long race. It is many short races one after the other. Interesting, so perseverance is many short races one after the other. We want to understand what's the truth to this.  When we talk about perseverance, we are saying that we have to keep getting up every time we fall. It's about the short races. One after the other and well that's important. Anyways let's comeback now.  So perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. When we say  “keep getting up every time we fall,”  we are not just talking about resilience in the face of major failures we’re talking about everyday courage. The courage to start over after a disappointing result, to try again after rejection, to keep moving when motivation runs dry. Each day presents a new “short race.” Waking up early to chase your goal is a race. Showing up to work with integrity is a race. Saying no to distractions is a race....

 I'm sort of wondering what I can write today. But one thing I know is that I need to write, not anyone else. Let's think about a topic. Today was connect day, so I need to write something within that. So let me think about what I can write, I need to write about maybe decision making and quickly making decisions. Or maybe I need to write about leadership, or I need to stop taking in a lot of coffee. Maybe let's think about addictions. Think about other topics, resilience. Leisure. But I feel leadership is an important topic and let's write about leadership and decision making together. So, we want to know where we are going with this? I think I really need to step up and help the team move along a certain path. But for that the destination needs to be known. So, let's talk about leadership.  In simple terms to me leadership means just go ahead, have a vision and follow that path. I think that's leadership. Well, that's leadership to me. Leadership meanwhile...

Open communication. I feel it's so important to communicate openly. So here we go about this. There are a few quotes I want to expand on.  Honest, open communication is the only street that leads us into the real world.... We then begin to grow as never before. And once we are on this road, happiness cannot be far way. But what he says is that honest open communication is required that will lead us into the real world. Imagine what happens when we say we are unable to talk about our insecurities. We are unable to communicate certain things that we are feeling. We are unable to communicate who we are to the world. Life becomes so tough in such cases. In fact I feel sometimes talking about the hard things makes us feel lighter. A lot lighter than ever before. So what is open communication in its truest form? What does it really mean? To me its just a style of communication where everyone can speak openly and transparently. Everyone feels comfortable and confident speaking their mind,...

 I've been creating some draft posts because I'm not super sure on what to write about. It's been a while that I wrote something interesting. Now I am just trying to write whatever comes to my mind. I spoke to an intern recently and she was like I think I know you and I said, everyone knows me, and she started laughing. It's truly funny. However, what's more important is that we try and create something interesting. So let's go back to the topic of problem solving. Sometimes you got to go the structured way and sometimes the unstructured way. Sometimes the way you go is with planning and sometimes without any planning. I have been working quite hard these days so concentrating really well. But what's more important is that we talk about problem solving. Root causing, so many techniques that we can employ. So, what is problem solving? Can it be applied to work only? Can it be applied to life in general? Where do we see the advantages of problem solving? How d...
