    Ever since I read Daniel Pink’s book A Whole New Mind, I have tried approaching my work in such a way that I enjoy every bit of it. Play in work or life adds more meaning to our lives and removes distress and anxiety.

    Play is an essential aspect to turn any boring or mundane work to meaningful work that leads to fulfillment.

    Research shows that people who treat work as play lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives free of strife and tension.

  • CHOOSE an INFINITE MINDSET

    In life or in business , we cannot choose the game we play. Neither can we choose the rules. The rules vary between “finite” & “infinite” games. The only option is to choose an INFINITE mindset in the infinite game.

    The ONLY choice we have is how we play whether with a “finite mindset” or with an “infinite mindset”.

    A finite mindset is thinking only about the short term goals and benefits whereas infinite mindset is keeping an eye on the long run.

    Hence how we play the game directly impacts our fulfillment.
