Know What NOT to Do..
13th August 2025 Resources available whether in terms of time, money, ability or capability are always limited. To make the best use of our resources, we need to focus on what we can do best and for that, we need to eliminate and learn to say NO to everything else. Steve Jobs emphasized the importance […]
Hope..
12th August 2025 “We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. A New Day Has Arrived and So has new hope. History is full of stories about people who came into hard times, lost hope, and gave up. We rarely come to learn what would have happened […]
Today..
11th August 2025 Recently, I came across this wonderful thought : “You are richer than 93 percent of people. Not in money, but in time. Over 108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93 percent of them are dead. You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler, every CEO and celebrity of […]
Pause..
10th August 2025 I can think of several times in my life I wish I had practiced the pause in my life, and I cannot think of a single time I am glad where I didn’t. Nothing good ever comes from a snap response, a snap judgment, or a snap reaction. Reacting harshly to anything […]

When there is a challenge, it is not necessary to come up […]
“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
7th August 2025 There’s debate about the origin of this phrase. I don’t know if it’s originally from the Navy SEALs, Vince Lombardi, or someone else — but I love it. My new year’s resolution this year was…no rushing. No rushing to the airport, No rushing to eat a meal, No rushing to respond to […]
Let’s Start Talking Again
6th August 2025 Till, not too long ago, We were good at talking. Storytelling was our forté. We sat around with friends & family, reminisced & imagined. The surprise visitor added magic to the evening. Children would bargain with their parents to stay up longer because they wanted to tune in on the conversation. People […]
The Hidden Cost of Comfort
5th August 2025 There’s an old story that I try & remember when Iam struggling with something. “A man stumbled upon a cocoon of an emperor moth & took it home to witness its transformation. One day, a small opening appeared. The man watched as the moth began to struggle to force its body through […]
The Burnt Toast theory
4th August 2025 Someone recently shared this concept with me & suggested it as an idea for my morning blog.
