"What if I fall, Oh but my darling! What if you fly?" Growing up, I have always wanted to create an impact beyond myself. A business strategy enthusiast, an aspiring consultant, a leader in becoming, and I am a learner at the end of the day. I am an avid reader and a passionate performer. My interests include psychology applications in daily lives, finance (capital budgeting), and human cognition. Also, I love to explore the infinite possibilities and out-of-box ideas put forth by the cosmos.

Reading books, devising strategies

"Can we ever be sure of what we want?" A person who knows himself, his priorities, and wants are likely to make a better livelihood. The clarity in life is the most sought thing in the modern world since we are overwhelmed with so many options surrounding us, with each one equally good as their counterparts. To have a clear mind and a firm decision, as a leader is expected to have, one must look inside and not outside. Options would confuse someone who doesn't know what he is looking for in the first place. One can start by asking himself the right questions and devise a framework for the answer he is looking for in the first place. Comparing this answer to the available options and taking the option that best fits your framework can help you make good decisions. Is it that easy as it sounds? Hell NO! Is it worth the struggle? Damn YES! The struggle here is to know what you are looking for in the first place. You have to ask yourself the right questions to arrive at a conclusion. Sadly, our education system has taught us only to answer the questions asked and not to ask the right questions. The information we need is all out there, but to select what we need in order to advance towards our goals is an art. For instance, asking these questions might help you for a start. (a) What? (be as specific as possible) (b) Why? (c) Who? (d) How? (e) What's stopping you? The structure might look elementary to you, but if given a good amount of thought on answering these questions, you will discover the true potential of these questions. To put it precisely, asking the right questions and framing a solution before looking out for options can help you make some of the best decisions in life.
