Lessons Learnt

In all my jobs so far, I have had the privilege of working closely with professionals who are thought leaders and awe-inspiring. During my working relationship with each one of these wonderful people I have learnt some valuable lessons and I feel obliged to share it with the world.
Lesson 1 - You are never the first person to face a certain kind of a problem in this world. Go back and look in history of mankind every time you feel you are lost and need an answer
Lesson 2 - Any piece of work is just a matter of doing. Some folks can do it better than you and some will do it worse than you. But always remember the difference is marginal. Dont beat yourself if you lose some and celebrate too much if you win one.
Lesson 3 - Our life for what it is ... is sum of our decision over time. Don’t wake up one day and be startled coz this is not where you wanted to be, because this is exactly what you have been working for
Lesson 4 - Success depends on good team work and learn to acknowledge it every time you get a chance.
Lesson 5 - Be honest to your profession and respect what others do.

In the Beginning...

Like all well meaning people I have been wanting to get these thoughts out of my head and onto a paper ... for a very long time and here I am now, like each one of you having so much to share but are overwhelmed by the sea of thoughts/information you would like to get out of your head, always struggling with the question "where do I begin". What finally got me here and typing ... is a friend's blog. He sent a link to his blog over the weekend and I was moved by his words, how he views the world around him. So here I am for the test, a lil' nervous and a lil' excited and sure that this will grow on me and become a vehicle for sharing my thoughts with the world. I come with a lot of optimism, so bear with me, until I learn the ways of the "Bloggers".
