life is more about detours.....

You will be there..... I mean it!
Life may not follow the map you draw to reach your destination but you will be there,All in Time.
The worst things in life turns out to be best!

Bracing the detours....Misses are important than hits,all that matters is staying true to yourself.
No matter what the crowd does or say....just keep playing. It took me 13 years to realize what I meant to be or to do. If telling my story can help others I am here to share. Getting married and having a child immediately after I graduated derailed me from my path of ambition and career. I never was keen on a job.A born entrepreneur failed and gave up too soon on my business.When I joined the workforce I was 6 years behind my contemporaries,but I was happy to be working.I slogged with a smile, kept on learning and picking new skills on my way.

In college I was never sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to be successful. In which domain?which industry?..It was not known. On my journey people told me what I am good at. They showed me my strengths. Pitfalls taught me about my weaknesses, but I kept walking.Lightening struck after thirteen years while doing an activity in my class that this is what I love and This is what I meant to be...A Teacher,a coach ,a mentor and trainer.

Things you need to be on track:
Keep the love lamp glowing in your heart.Passion is what will keep you pushing no matter how much you want to quit.

Being scared is okay,still go for the ride.Its like a roller coaster,after first few minutes,you will start enjoying your ride.

Keep learning.True happiness comes from accepting the life as it is; not the way you want it to be.
Live every moment. Learning to love ,learning to lose, learning to live, learning to be happy with yourself,learning to be.

My best lessons which I share today proudly in my training sessions have come from my detours and roadblocks.So cut the chase ,trust the grace.

What If and Why Not?

Not Yet ……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘ I failed’ . When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected. Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit. REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our...

Be a Copy Cat!

Two decades ago when I visited a restaurant for the first time with cousins, I didn’t know how to use my fork or where to place a serviette? I never wanted to embarrass my cousin that he has brought his small town silly baby sister to a plush place. But I managed the show just by imitating my senior cousin. Not only a restaurant, I came out of many such fixing situations where I never knew how to conduct myself, I just copied the people in front of me with a smile on my face and a confident gaze. So don’t think copying is bad, copying behavior to learn things is primitive. An infant learns by copying its parents and people around. A language is caught rather than taught by imitating. We work on our skill sets by following an ideal or mentor. We pickup many a traits of ours; which we like in our parents, friends and spouse subconsciously just by replicating them. Same can be applied to an interview scenario, where you are confused to choose what type of body language, to...

Method Behind Magic

“Be open, be Impatient and Be Hopeful’ Listening to Sundar Pichai addressing the passing out batch of 2020 is magical, quintessential and evoke hope. No matter you are passing out this year or you graduated twenty years ago, it shows you light in despairing time. Trying to dissect the anatomy of his narrative, I faced the power of number three. Rule of 3 is a literary device used to make language come alive. Steve Job in his famous commencement speech at Stanford narrated three personal stories to evoke emotions (pathos) engage authentically (ethos) with his personal experiences and bring home the values of trust, faith and uncertainty of life as logical conclusions (logos). Mr Pichai too used personal experiences, powerful language and detailed description to give a message of hope to the youth. Information combined with emotion becomes a memory. “If you want something stuck in someone’s head, put it in a sequence of three,” Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger said. Ru...
