Every pain gives a lesson and every lesson changes a person

Vinay Nagaraju — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 16:58:08 +0000

Every pain gives a lesson and every lesson changes a person: We often ignore pain and distract ourselves from facing it. It is never nice to feel this pain – a distraction however gives us an easy, quick route to stop feeling this pain. Distractions can help in the short term, but they fail us with time. I love this quote by Abdul Kalam because it talks about the importance of pain, lessons it imparts and finally leads us to the point of self-reliance which enables us to take charge and do something about the pain.

Love your job but never fall in love with your company

The first time I read it, I was very impressed. I thought—this is all about an individual figuring out their own path, without limitations like loyalty to a company or organisation. It echoed the principles of freedom, choice, and the ability to grow on your own terms.

Nothing is more difficult than to be able to decide – Napoleon

Vinay Nagaraju — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 17:30:40 +0000

Let's face it. Decisions are difficult. They don't come to use at ease because there's always something to lose. I don't want to discount the pros and cons exercise because it has saved me in the past. For most simple decisions it works like a charm. If nothing, it transparently lays out in front of you the benefits and losses of the decision you're able to make. And there's a lot of merit to that.

Training The skill of self confidence in a Startup Context

Vinay Nagaraju — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 13:58:03 +0000

Training the skill of self confidence: I love this article for two reasons. The main one being that most collateral out there talks about self confidence as a god given gift. That immediately makes it the prerogative of some people only. The beauty is - confidence, just like any other skill is a trainable asset. Training the skill of confidence takes consistency, effort and learning from experiences. This ted talk from Dr Ivan Joseph talks about training the skill of self confidence so that we can approach our opportunities and challenges better.

Be a good person don’t waste time to prove it – Paulo Coelho

Vinay Nagaraju — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 20:32:58 +0000

Be a good person don't waste time to prove it: The Paulo Coelho quote on being a good person is all about personal values, social conditioning and the image we want to create in the society. The meaning of this quote can be split into the reality of being good vs appearing good. Everywhere we see, there's a huge drive from people around us to appear good. Not many people seem to be investing in actually being good. This is primarily because it would take more work to be a good person in the first place.
