Recently a youngster starting his career, came to me for some advice on how he should approach his career to achieve his dreams.

Over the years, I have learnt that there are universal truths & the earlier you understand, believe & adopt them, the easier it becomes not only to achieve your dreams but also to enjoy the journey along the way.

It is best to have some guiding principles which are essentially an idea/s that influences you when making a decision or considering a matter.

These are some of the Principles I believe in, that I shared with him.

IF you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.

If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.

If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.

If you want something  you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.

If you never try, you’ll never know.

Well done is better than well said.

‘I can’ is more important than ‘IQ’

Impossible is just an opinion.

If you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll never get anything done.

What you focus on, grows.

What consumes your mind, controls your life.

Take chances, in the end,  we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

Always have the courage to take the first step in faith, you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Dream big,

Start now, start where you are, with what you have, you will never be ready, just start.

Work hard, stay humble & stay Blessed forever.
