The most favorite thing about myself is that I strive to be a better version of myself everyday. This rules out comparison with others and helps me adopt an infinite mindset.
All of us should aim towards self improvement rather than getting bogged down by competition. This is when we unleash our best qualities and lead fulfilling lives.

Read this blog post to know more on how deep questions lead to emotional contagion.
The below wonderful insight has been adopted from Charles Duhigg’s book Supercommunicators. This book is a true masterclass in communicator and illuminates us on most needed skills to be a great communicator.

Some of my most favorite moments date back to days when I was part of trusting and high performance teams. Trusting teams bring the best out of us for the reasons mentioned below:
Hence as a leader if you want to build a high performing team based on trust, encourage vulnerability for this reason.
Everyday your mood follows a pattern. This depends on whether you a later riser, early riser or in between.
I am a late riser and hence my daily pattern i.e. the OWL pattern is different from that of a LARK (early riser).
We often hear that passion mindset is important to do great things in life. This blogpost will enlighten you on the benefits of adopting a craftsman mindset as opposed to a passion mindset.
Of all season my favorite is the autumn season. Arrival of the month of October, helps me enjoy the season of human bonds.
The month of October, heralds the arrival of Autumn season as well as a string of festivals wherein you can enjoy quality time with family and friends.
This is also a time of the year when you take stock of the hard work done over the best part of the year.
Without family, friends and social bonds our life in incomplete. And that is why this part of the year starting from October, gives me a chance to socialize with friends and family.
The power of social bonds and the ability to respect it, indeed makes us human.
Returning home fulfilled from work should be a basic right which nowadays has become more of a luxury. Choose a suitable workplace to earn your right to fulfillment at work.
Like other humans I too would love a tagline. My tag line would start as well as end with motivation. Here is where I encourage you all to adopt motivation as your dharma.
Hence the mission of my blogsite i.e. Pile On Motivation is very simple and centered around motivation:
“The mission of this blogsite is very SIMPLE: To share best practices, lessons learnt, frameworks from best sellers on motivation and inspiration. This would enable piling on motivation in your daily lives to make it more fulfilling. My goal is to provide you the much needed bout of motivation and ensure that together we can feel motivated and make the world a much better place.“
To MOTIVATE the most important criteria is to ACT.
