I am into sales now, since the product has matured and we are getting some traction via word to mouth. One of my key learning has been, being honest makes life better for both parties. Sales are more about a relationship than profit. People are generally helpful and good. They appreciate your effort if you …

mirror
A mirror shows your external: the dress you wear, your hairstyle, skin color, and et all. The outward representation of self is just one part of us. The other hidden us beyond the mirror is our thoughts. Our thoughts play a key role in shaping who we are. It is less plastic or pretentious. We …
community
Community is the new marketing hoopla. Humanity has existed this long because of the community. A community is centered around a common ideology, belief, trust, and faith. Why are we talking about a community when we have our own ulterior motive behind it? Community is more about giving and expecting least in return. Before starting …
river
I like rivers, they are break free. They live on their own terms. They are powerful enough to make their own course. When a river is gentle it is feeding ground for civilization. It is the center of many cultures. When a river gets angry it can destroy the existence. Rivers are considered sacred in …

We are all crowns, hidden behind the mask of pedigree, color, religion, wealth, race, Et al. As a clown, we are faceless, which also means we are vulnerable. Pain is part of daily life, being ridiculed another. Is it better to be a clown or join puppetry?

Aren’t we writing a story in every single moment in our life? Our anger, love, hate, empathy, action, reaction everything is temporary. As we old, decay and die the only thing that will stay is our story for others. You can be an asshole treating waiter like shit or hitting your maid for adding too …
complete
What completes us? Our achievement or possessions? What possessions? Material or relational or societal appreciation? What achievements? External or Internal? How many twitter followers will turn up at your funeral or folks liking your Instagram photos? Who are you creating this world for? Is it built on the hubris of delusion? Meditate over these questions.
purpose
Halfway through reading Paul Jarvis, company of one. The author talks about the importance of purpose in running an organization. I was reminded about purpose in the last meeting with our mentor as well. Having a purpose acts like a bulletproof which takes the rocket ship aka startup to uncharted territory without fear. It also …
