When we left from home for exams, our Mom used to make us eat something sweet.
The relevance was simple. Before you leave for a mammoth task that is important to you, carry sweetness with yourself.
So, here is the sweetness of the week for you:
If you want to make enemies, simply try correcting people's flaws.
If you want to see an intersection of passion and innocence, look at the faces of artists in Coke Studio videos. Divinity in disguise.
May you have the same relentlessness towards your dreams, as your Mom has while calling you from your room for food.
Jitne gusse se service executives se baat karte ho, utne hi pyaar se khud se baat kar lo, to duniya palat jayegi. (The anger with which you speak to service executives, use the same intensity to speak lovefully to yourself, the world shall change!)
Being tension-free is an asset. Being tension-free when the world has imposed its tensions on you is a SuperPower.
Also, some Tweets (from others) that I loved:
All successful people push others to move faster. That is the main common trait of successful people. (@auren)
If you’re on the wrong train, every stop is the wrong stop. (@GuruAnaerobic)
"Your goal is not to find love, but to remove all barriers which are preventing you from receiving it." - Rumi (Took from @IAmMarkManson page)
Warning: you can succeed by outsmarting or outworking people, but to really succeed you usually have to do both. (@sama)
In the long run, the way you treat your time is the way others treat it too. (@JamesClear)
While going away, I have a question for you:
How bad your life would be if you hadn’t endured that pain?
What is the best thing that pain has given you, that you would trade for NOTHING?
Let me know in the response to this email, I’d love to have your perspective.
Till Thursday, with a deeper and thoughtful story, I’ll talk to you again my wonderful readers…
