The point where our dreams are fulfilled, your struggle begins

 



#WeekendMusings : The whole Rishi Sunak Sky TV comment reminds me of the now-famous quote by actor Siddhant Chaturvedi 


"Jahan hamare sapne poore hote hain wahan inka struggle shuru hota hai" 

Translated as "The point where our dreams are fulfilled, your struggle begins" 


It paints such a dramatically and drastically different and contrasting worldview of people coming from different walks of life, different economic and privileged strata of society. 


And frankly, it is extremely difficult to have the view from the other side of the lake. You can't imagine what it is like if you have never experienced it. So you can be excused for not knowing what it feels like and if you don't have empathy for them. 


BUT what does not get excused is the total lack of awareness about the existence of the other side and not being sensitive to their view and context. 


As a Political Leader in a state/country, 

it becomes unpardonable as you are responsible for making it right for the majority and for all - you devise policies and government programs that benefit all and not just some. You have to be cognizant that all strata of the society get representation. 


As an Executive Leader in an organization, your responsibility is no different. 

You have to be mindful of the intellectual, technical, and functional capability of your teams and mentor/coach them accordingly. One size does not fit all and you do have a responsibility towards each member of your team and not just the best performer on whom you choose to invest most of your time. You will end up ignoring the hidden gems! 


As an individual, 

Don't be limited by your dreams. 

Don't be limited by your capabilities. 

Don't be limited by your starting point. 

What got you here, won't get you there. 

So, Be Yourself and once you achieve that, 

Don't Be Yourself. Become the Better You ! 


Weekend Thought experiment: 

Find what's limiting you and 

design a plan of action 

to overcome it

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
