My work- travel gets me to meet some very fantastic people at times. I have come across people like Anna Hazare, Richard Branson, Julia Roberts, sporting icons etc. But one of them stands way apart in terms of his story, grit, determination & most importantly, the extent to which Vicky Roy inspired me.
I recently spoke at TEDxIIMRaipur. They had a wonderful theme: “Thoughts, Actions & Beyond”. In this post, I have shared the summary of my talk & the video (at the end).
I recently had the privilege of addressing the brilliant minds of IIT Kanpur, one of the premier most institutes of India. This 20 min video of my talk at TEDx IIT Kanpur on the topic ‘How to connect the dots’ might help you solve the following 3 critical Career Questions :-
1. You are good at something. But ‘How to become a successful Entrepreneur with that ‘something’?’
2. What 5 clever decisions you must take & which can help you; as YOU look to connect your dots?
3. My own story as a Motivational Speaker: How I connected my dots !
I turn 35 in a few days. It is a confusing age. Something within you tells you that you have grown up. Still there is that another something within you that doesn’t want you to give up so soon —on your ‘single, flirty’ ways about life. As I look back at the last decade, I find a lot of satisfaction. God has kept me special and especially lucky. Could create whatever a guy seeks in his early life. Here are 10 reasons why I do not want to be rich; my take on money and happiness in life.
Just a few years back I was regularly finding myself stuck in mediocrity, boredom & confusions. Relationships & people issues were chaining me & stopping me from living 100%. I took a few strong decisions & those decisions helped me drop the unnecessary baggage & fly higher & higher. It is a much lighter and beautiful life now. It is ‘pay back’ time now.
– Why are we failing to take CARE of ourselves?
– Why do we feel useless; so many times?
– Why do we remain in a perpetual anxiety ?
– Why do we forget our ‘Goals’ in our ‘Busyness’
Do take out leisure time to check out this video; as I attempt to answer the above questions. TEDx talks are always an honour to do; I get to meet and learn from some of the finest thinkers during the talks.
