Biz Poetry with Pravin

Ah, no recognition, if that is known up front, would you take up any task, no commendation, no encouragement, no nothing. Would you then complete a task and simply move on? You do it because it had to be done and you could so you did, instead of lingering around for applause, you take on the next assignment. We have been conditioned to do things and seek others approval for that pat on the back an...

You have the burden to be better. The burden of being better than who I am today lies with me, regardless of the external pressures. Why can I not just be that inner voice speaks out? Of course, there is pleasure in the calm and the still familiarity of the known. When I know what I am good at, I have the choice. What do I do now, stay good, or chip away to make the good better. This pleasant burd...

How does anyone know what works? If anyone says, this is the formula for success, dissociate immediately. How does anyone know if it were so easy, wouldn't everyone do it so many claimers and soothsayers flooding the market with modern day snake oil, magic, potions and similar madness so easy to fall prey.

He encourages a mindset...

A booster doses, energy fades definitely. Initial enthusiasm has its sine waves of ups and downs slowing until they die down. The Law of Diminishing Returns is at play. The initial Wow fades bit by bit, until we lose interest totally, whatever we sign up for, if it isn't from the heart and for the long term, poof slowdowns are inevitable, but triggers keep us moving, if we are serious about ac...

That feeling in my stomach I wake up early, way before my scheduled time. There's something going on in my mind and in my stomach, a feeling that doesn't feel right, a foreboding, a premonition, something way yet, certain oxymorons aside, what is this? Why is this happening? The feeling I have is certain something is happening or going to happen, that I need to be very off. What is it? Whe...

When you don't know where to start, when people don't know where to start, they don't start. What is the good place to start, using anything and everything as a trigger and doing writing, in my case, just letting the thoughts flow out. Quoting Arun Varma, a person who has impacted me when no words seem to flow from within, start by filling the page with I don't know what to write,...
