We Become the Average of the Five People We Spend Most Time With
Many of us perform jobs for extended periods of time that are not the perfect fit. We perform tasks we do not like, and that do not match our skill set. We often choose to work with people we do not like nor respect just because we need to pay bills and make ends meet. Oh, well that is part of life, and part of learning and growing. While we all must go through some of this in life, we all have a chance to stand up, make some firm choices to build our own future that is best for us and for our families. I say this as over seventy percent of Americans and Europeans spend most of their lives in jobs and careers they do not like, often because of job security, risk averseness, and overall lack of a plan. These career choices often are also the result of the wrong advice, often benign advice done by our parents or our teachers.

Indian Philosophy- Bhartiya Darshan
Greetings! I often joke with my friends that “Darshan ke bina to Duniya Adhuri he” (The world is incomplete without Darshan (Philosophy)). Philosophy or Darshan is defined as “the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.” I know I want to spend my life in the arms of philosophical knowledge the moment I read Socrates and Plato. Western philosophy throughout the ages have a deep impact on shaping society. From Plato to Marx and from Aristotle to St. Augustine many philosophers have contributed widely to this rich field through their arguments and reasons. However, it pains me to say that despite living in India, I was in ignorance for a long. Apart from “Bhagavad Gita”, I was not able to study and deliberate the richness of Indian Philosophy, which has contributed largely to the civilizational development of this country. I guess there is never too late. Right?

Here is why Entrepreneurs should never let a good crisis go to waste
The Italian Renaissance philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 –1527), lived through dramatic crisis, conflict and societal changes that redefined the way leadership, politics and businesses dealt with new power dynamics. He is believed to be responsible for the famous quote “Never waste the opportunity offered by a good crisis.” More recently, the Machiavelli quote was used by former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”

You shouldn’t be afraid of making errors in judgment. You can only learn, expand your horizons, and develop as a person through making mistakes.
