Live Your Life The Way You Want It To Be

Image
  “If you have a talent, put it to some use. It is something that some of us are born with, or even something that we might discover and acquire along the way. I think most of you have it in some form or the other." - Ruskin Bond Be Practical in your approach, keep doing good stuffs in your life and follow your routine. “Grow something, my friend. Even if it’s only a succulent or a feathering fern. Find some corner of your room or balcony or window ledge where there’s a little sun, good light and warmth. Plant a seed or cutting, watch it grow, watch it flower.” This sounds easy and doable, for people of all ages. Why does he recommend it?

Leaders Start With Why

Image
The post is for aspiring leaders, leaders in progress, and leaders who want to transform from Good to Great. Taken from the book by Simon Sinek, there are two types of leaders:  > those who decide to manipulate to get to the end result. > those who start with the end result in mind and let everything else naturally fall into place. How they do it is by following a naturally occurring pattern   Golden Circle : Why, How, and What. Golden Circle Why: Very few people or companies can clearly articulate why they do what they do. This isn’t about running a profitable company—that’s a result. Why is it all about your purpose? Why does your company exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care? How: Some people and companies know how they do what they do. Whether you call them a "differentiating value proposition" or a "unique selling proposition," HOWs are often given to explain how something is different or better. What: Every single co...

It is a great book by  Bob Burg and John David Mann . The Laws explained in the book can be even used in our daily life. I went through the full audiobook via Storytel and later read the book summary online. The Go-Giver is worth listening also if you prefer audiobooks. The book tells a parable of a man named Joe who, struggling to make his quarterly sales target, meets a mentor named Pindar to help him. Pindar then teaches Joe the “Five Laws of Stratospheric Success” by having Joe meet various people who have already mastered the five laws.  While going through the book reminded me of a very famous book based on the Theory of Constraints i.e  The Goal by Eliyahu M.
