  Gold does not worry about protecting its glitter, Shine is its inherent nature. Something that makes it unique & worthy. It knows that its strength lies in its purity.   Many who emulate it are well in its sight, But it is unshackled with their attempts to look bright. As no matter how much they pretend to shine, The truth prevails that their lustre is sublime.   Insecurity dwells in the pretext of a self-proclaimed glory, Fake propositions do not earn a success story. Genuineness is never in search of visibility, For confidence lies in being aware of one’s ability.   Needs and utilities will evolve with time, What’s significant today may tomorrow turn futile.

More than your glitter, what’s important is your endeavour, Your str...

It all goes well if we communicated in the best interest of the situation we get in. The leaders who drive work well are the ones who can communicate with others with empathy. Putting oneself in other's shoes is the best way to rationalize other's viewpoints. Somebody could be in pai...

Experience is the best teacher. We all learn through our experiences. We grow by experimenting with our ideas and exploring new insights from them. Whether it is about dealing with people, making a career move, or taking up an investment option, our assumptions are often challenged by the test of reality. People, who understand these nuances fast, learn from them and grow faster, whereas others, who struggle to get out of their prejudices, remain lost. It’s important to keep learning from our trials and picking up our lessons. Life is long enough to get another chance to do it better.  So, is true with businesses, it’s important to keep adapting to the changing environment. Variability can be managed if they are predictable. But, at times things go out of one’s horizon of thinking and clarity. When things go out of order, it’s important to be stable, introspect and take corrective actions. The more you accept reality the more you will widen your perception towards things. It is wis...
