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.
