We live in our well and die living in it. As a result, we miss out on many opportunities with open eyes. It is our choice we limit our horizons or cease all the opportunities. Our life is short. These opportunities come once in a while.

align
Relationship, business, or transaction alignment of incentive should take a prime seat. We rush and get into any partnership out of compulsion or other reasons. It results in disaster for both parties. Be very careful if you are into a long-lasting relationship or fruitful business transaction.
memories
Mesmerizing old days of life have their own sides. On the positive, we think about all the fun, and negative, we regret what we did wrong. But seeing it rationally makes us more mature. I am in Delhi currently, and walking/travling across city brings back many such memories. Most instances, I am laughting at myself …
compare
Why do we compare our life with others? Our life is unique, and so is our journey. Will comparison not put us under pressure or cause depression?
