Until the lion learns how to write: History is always written by the winner. Whether it is the hunter or the winner of wars – the story that sells the most is the one by the winner. If you think of this logically, the winner will always hold sway in telling the story. If the winner is powerful enough, then the stories that are written by the loser will be destroyed. In other words – the winner’s words hold more value than the victim’s. Or atleast that used to be the case before the world of social media.

The best thing we can do is to be aware of these thoughts, what they are trying to tell us and think of the best ways to indulge in them.

Efficiency is doing things right Effectiveness is doing right things quote by Peter drucker - Efficiency is doing things right: It's not just important to use our time wisely to become productive.

Unfortunately, most times we don't treat time with the same respect because something else takes priority. This quote by Stephen Covey, makes us pause and rethink about time as an investment for the future. As much as I like the idea of investing time in the future, I'm conflicted with the thought that disregards the present and treats it as a tool for the future.

Even more beautiful is the point that you and I can do this by refocusing our energies and listening, leaning into what this fear is telling us.

Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it

by
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it - Mahatma Gandhi

Whatever you do may seem insignificant: There’s no such thing as a small job. We must do this because how we do it sometimes matters more than just the what. If you look at it from an external perspective, we can argue that all jobs are menial. It is only when we compare what we do to someone else, that the question of worth comes into play. Each job or work has its significance, value and importance in its own right. The world cannot function without each of us playing our roles.
