Don’t lose your core!


Life is about, what choices you make,
Yes, you need to act fast,
But don’t hurry too much,
It’s your vote, Think before you cast!

Yes, you need to make an impact,
But keeping your integrity in tact!
Yes, you need to fight for that crown,
But without putting other’s down!

Yes, everybody loves acclaim,
But don’t stress yourself about it,
It’s a byproduct,
What matters is your aim!
Fame will follow if you achieve your aim!

Yes, you need to be smart,
But don’t completely ignore your heart!
Yes, you need to chase your goal,
But don’t forget to entertain your soul!
Yes, it’s a long race, and you need to run,
But don’t forget to enjoy the journey,
And have loads of fun!
Yes, you need to stay focused and concentrate,
But don’t be too serious,
And leave no chance to celebrate!

Yes, there is temptation to showcase your “Thought
“Complex is cool “is what we are taught,
But don’t get caught,
Keep things simple, don’t lose the plot!
Don’t try to be what you are not!
Add value only when you can,
And only when it is sought!

Yes, you need to increase your SOV
But without diluting your POV,
Yes, you need to be seen and be heard,
But don’t follow the herd,
Think Fresh, Think Original
And fly like a bird!!
Yes, there are brownie points to score,
But don’t lose your core!

There is something,
That has brought you so far!
Don’t give it up, Hold on to it,
Always believe in yourself,
And you will shine like a Star!!

Yes, there are temptations & pressures,
Don’t be myopic, don’t give in,
Remember, there is always an option,
That is win-win!!!

Be a Mentor !!!





One of the most under-rated and under-used powers is the power of Mentoring. A good mentor is like Google maps ,gives you bird's eye view and right direction , warns you in advance of key bottlenecks ,suggests alternate options to improve your efficiency and effectiveness , brings you on track if you lose sight of your goal and above all is always available and accessible for help . Ofcourse similar to Gmaps , Mentee needs to trust the mentor , listen carefully , ask right questions and stay connected with him always . While mentorship may be 'Gyaan 'for some , but if pursued in right spirit can be a big "Vardaan " for many . 

Be a Thought leader and market leadership will follow !!



In todays fragmented ,competitive and dynamic market, most of the time organisations spend lot of effort,money and energy in chasing market shares ,driving their own brands and gaining market leadership.The desire and lure of super-quick share wins supercedes the need for strengthening fundamentals and laying a strong foundation for sustainable future leading to organisations loosing plot in medium to long term .The fault lies in setting a myopic goal . The need of the hour is to aim to become a thought leader in the category, if you do that successfully(Google ,Facebook, Uber ,AirBnB ,Amazon and many more ),most likely market leadership will follow.

Decimate your fears !!!



Most of us spend a lot of time thinking/ planning about overcoming fear of competition . But what really holds us back and creates a self -doubt in our mind are our own fears .We all have our fears ,and most of the time we keep playing hide and seek with them .To be frank it is quite difficult too, accepting and acknowledging your own fears as it makes us look weak in our own eyes and that's the reason why we externalize the reason for most of our failures . But the strongest kick u can get is by decimating your own fears . Try picking up one of your fear(physical,emotional , social) and overcome it ! Once you do that , there will be no fear of fears!

Ingredients of "Success "Recipe !!




There is no substitute to hard work for sure . But there are many additives to enhance the impact of hard work ---> planning & preparation, strategy & technique ,timing , coaching and guidance , periodic review and taking corrective action (only if required ) and finally showcasing the same to all key stakeholders . Hard work is one of the ingredients of the "Success"recipe.We need to mix other ingredients in right quantity and at the Right time to make the perfect dish !

Unexpected Failures !!




While nobody likes facing failures , but sometimes a big unexpected failure can do more good to you vs a small expected success . It can shock and surprise you , give you a harsh reality check thus waking u up from your slumber, force you to introspect, reorganize , rediscover and above all challenge yourself to push existing limits , bring out the best in you , decimate competition and get your MOJO back !! You can't get a better steroid or motivational coach than this !! It can take you from mediocrity to excellence ,thus changing the course of your life ! So never get bogged down by a big failure and remember every cloud has a silver lining ! #TAGGlines

Resist the big temptation !!!






One of the big temptation we face often is when we are asked to 'add value'to an idea/piece of work .While it is absolutely ok & fair to share the same if we genuinely feel that there are gaps and we can help in plugging them.But there are cases,where we know that either we don't have relevant knowledge or the piece of work is full-proof.
But we still point out gaps for self gratification and look smarter in front of others.This can be quite confusing & demotivating for others .Instead , lets direct them to relevant contact /appreciate them for their superb work .Sometimes the best way to add value is by not attempting to "unnecessarily" add value.

Does Procrastination has any merits ?

Does delaying /procrastination has any merits ? Intuitively most of us will answer in a big negative ..in current fast paced and...
