    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

    How do you define SUCCESS?

    The one question I keep getting and hate answering is about the true definition of SUCCESS. The mirage of success educates us not to chase it and rather chase excellence.

    Viktor Frankl beautifully illustrates this in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning as follows:

    The mirage of SUCCESS

    The more we aim for it the more we go away from it.

    Very frequently we complain that in spite of all the hard work, we are not able to achieve success. For all such people, this blog post inspired from James Clear’s book is the most appropriate answer:

    Thus do not obsess over it, work hard and make yourself so competent that success is forced to chase you.

    One question I hate to be asked is on the slow speed of progress. In this blog post I will let you know that Slow Productivity is healthy and in the long run can lead to fulfillment.

    In the hustle and bustle of modern life more often than not we ignore benefits of slow progress.

    Slow productivity is healthy and recommends three things:

    1. Working at a natural pace
    2. Doing fewer things
    3. Obsessing over quality.
