Some folks on Twitter and Instagram asked me that. Here is the secret from the vault, about my less-known skin care routine:

1. Sleeping and waking up at the same time everyday. 7 hours of sleep, daily.

2. Working out for 1.5 hours every single day.

3. Dinner at 6:30 pm. Next meal is the breakfast next day, almost 14 hours later.

Sometimes, the obvious is the unexplained :)

To be there for people when it is easy to be away.

To be the trusted employee when everyone walks out.
To be the friend who would be with you in tough times.
To be the manager who trusts you despite your flaws.

Trust is hard. Not because it is scarce. Rather because it is something we were raised in absence of.

To build trust is building people.
While we continue to rebuild the toxic childhood patterns of our own selves…

If regret had a synonym, it would be called hell.

A place where all your freedom doesn’t exist, because you were too busy in chains of the past and impossibility.
A place where you put so much effort in being who you are not, that you almost forgot that being you is much effortless!
A place where you were not you.

Life is short. Yet we waste it for the longest time.
It is up to us to realise this when others tell us, or to realise this at the peril of our own life…

I don’t!

It’s as easy.

I rather disengage from the conversation, because when in anger, you are only going to say words that don’t hold meaning. At the same time, they are going to pierce the recipient.

And when you have calmed down, you can objectively solve for the problem.

To deal with anger, the only thing we need is calmness to look at it objectively.

We all love to become indispensable assets to our company. However, we don’t know the “how”.

Here’s how:

Do what you are supposed to do.
Without follow-ups,
And then gain mastery in getting better at it.
Consistently.

It always baffles me how few people actually do it! And those who do, it never baffles me on how far they actually go!

1. We never work in urgency. Every content piece has at least two weeks to be worked upon.
2. If you are humble, curious and hungry, over time, you’ll learn to become the best in the country at what you do.
3. When you get the inputs right, over time, outputs take care of themselves.

Everything that seems interesting on the outside, is indeed boring to execute.

1. Keep it simple: Anyone can make things complex. To make the complex simple, is the work of a genius.
2. Keep it short: Anyone can make things long and too long. To use lesser words to convey more, is what makes you a genius.
3. Show up consistently: Whether it is every day or every week or thrice a week – once you have set that benchmark for yourself, let there be floods, rains, anger, procrastination, but never stop showing up. You’ll be amazed at what shows up for you once you do that.

It always baffles me how the most important things are also the simplest things to do. Action >>>

You can’t do everything, if you decide to do all of that in one day.

The way I figure that balance out, is by doing multiple things on multiple days of the week.

Helps me not feel drained out, do everything I want to do, and also say no to something that is important for tomorrow, not today.

Time management, is merely choice management.

Perhaps that is true.
Perhaps they don’t understand you.
Perhaps you don’t understand them either.

It would reduce a lot of stress in your mind, when you accept that your parents want the same things from you as you do.
The modes may be different. But the nodes click just at the right place.

Making parents understand is a tough task. But it won’t be so, if you let your actions do the talking.
We know the world through our thoughts. The world knows us through our actions.

We don’t lack understanding from others. We simply need to have more understanding of ourselves, through our actions of proving to them.

Most of us dread Sunday evenings for the prospect of an upcoming Monday.

Here is something you could do, to make your Mondays better:

1. Planning your week.
2. Scheduling distraction time (so that you don’t feel guilty at the end of it).
3. Making sure that you have a job that you look forward to. And if you don’t, creating one, by working nights and weekends.

Sometimes, a Monday morning fear is lack of action of planning our week. And our careers.
