NO RECOGNITION

Ah, no recognition, if that is known up front, would you take up any task, no commendation, no encouragement, no nothing. Would you then complete a task and simply move on? You do it because it had to be done and you could so you did, instead of lingering around for applause, you take on the next assignment. We have been conditioned to do things and seek others approval for that pat on the back and sometimes a certificate. What if none was promised? Would you still do it? An entrepreneur would not think twice. An outlier would do it a tad differently when good work is done consistently, whatever name and fame and fortune will come searching for the doer in.

The Burden of being BETTER

You have the burden to be better. The burden of being better than who I am today lies with me, regardless of the external pressures. Why can I not just be that inner voice speaks out? Of course, there is pleasure in the calm and the still familiarity of the known. When I know what I am good at, I have the choice. What do I do now, stay good, or chip away to make the good better. This pleasant burden is mine alone, like a cycle Where I am both the engine and the driver.

How does anyone know what works

How does anyone know what works? If anyone says, this is the formula for success, dissociate immediately. How does anyone know if it were so easy, wouldn't everyone do it so many claimers and soothsayers flooding the market with modern day snake oil, magic, potions and similar madness so easy to fall prey. Some of us want to thinking there really does exist a silver bullet for all our problems. It doesn't on the other end of the spectrum when an experienced person says, I don't know. Come let's figure it out. I am in. It gets my voice, my vote, my mind, space. Answers need to be found out. Are never prescriptive, more often than not, come in from outside sources, many times incomplete, taxing, boring, quick, sandish. That's why we all give up too soon or rely on quick fixes. Does this business poem work? I don't know, but I will figure it out and apply in my life.

Is she taking me for granted?

Is She Taking Me for Granted? In this short reflection, I explore the creeping doubts that arise in relationships—both personal and professional. From the highs of connection to the quiet onset of distance and uncertainty, this episode captures the emotional turning point where one must decide: wait, or walk away? When confusion clouds the mind, sometimes the best way forward is to take a step back. And for me, that means walking—literally. Walking to think, to breathe, and to find clarity. Tune in for a moment of raw honesty and personal insight. #DecisionDiary #OutlierThinking #Reflection #FounderLife

WHEN YOU ARE AT WAR

Pravin emphasizes the importance of adaptability and proactivity in the face of challenges, using the metaphor of being "at war." He argues against waiting for ideal conditions or complete information, suggesting instead that one should make the most of available resources and expect both successes ("aha moments") and setbacks ("oh stumbles"). He encourages a mindset of action and resilience, advocating for practical solutions over inaction and complaining.

BOOSTER DOSES

A booster doses, energy fades definitely. Initial enthusiasm has its sine waves of ups and downs slowing until they die down. The Law of Diminishing Returns is at play. The initial Wow fades bit by bit, until we lose interest totally, whatever we sign up for, if it isn't from the heart and for the long term, poof slowdowns are inevitable, but triggers keep us moving, if we are serious about achieving what we set out for booster doses spur us a little bit forward. Close friends keep us awake and tuned to the destination we must head out to using shame and fame as a motivator. Small wins serve as rechargers and laughing away the stumbles helps at times. In the end, though, all motivation is internal, the boosters also need to come from within. What could they be?

THAT FEELING IN MY STOMACH

That feeling in my stomach I wake up early, way before my scheduled time. There's something going on in my mind and in my stomach, a feeling that doesn't feel right, a foreboding, a premonition, something way yet, certain oxymorons aside, what is this? Why is this happening? The feeling I have is certain something is happening or going to happen, that I need to be very off. What is it? When will it happen? No clue yet. This is my gut shouting aloud with only the rumbling stomach as proof I lie still in bed, eyes wide open, wondering what's going on. Is this feeling asking me not to do something or to take some action, left with these two roads in front of me, I choose action over idling, burying myself into one activity, going deeper until the flow takes over and silences the feeling right or wrong. How can I decide when I don't know what it is, what I can do for certain is look at my task list, pick one and take solid action on it. Action trumps it all. That's what I believe.

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START

When you don't know where to start, when people don't know where to start, they don't start. What is the good place to start, using anything and everything as a trigger and doing writing, in my case, just letting the thoughts flow out. Quoting Arun Varma, a person who has impacted me when no words seem to flow from within, start by filling the page with I don't know what to write, even if it's gibberish. It is the habit that counts sitting and writing, thinking and doing. Why does one need an external force to push when the internal engine is the strongest I know where I want to go to be, and so it is the first step that matters, breaking the inertia and getting me going, creating a moving inertia of its own self, powered. Why allow excuses to put a halt to what I want to do. It is the doing that matters, not doing it correctly, perfectly, just the doing the course correction will happen later. My purpose in life is to inspire creators. And doing is a good way to start writing, speaking, creating, publishing, repeating, smiling, one stepping, when one is clear about the destination and ready to Take the first step, the start. Paths reveal themselves.
