    Why Purpose over Pleasure?

    The most important piece of advice I would have given to my teenage self is putting purpose over pleasure.

    As mentioned by Angela Duckworth in her book Grit, with grit and determination we come to realize the value of finding a meaning in life as opposed to short term “dopamine” driven results.

    Hence once we realize this truth as a teenager our mindset as our vision towards life would orient her for long term focus.

  • Understanding Simon Sinek’s individual WHY

    Simon Sinek is the author of best selling books like “Start With Why” , “Find Your Why” , “Leaders Eat Last” , “Together is Better” , “The Infinite Game”.

    He has illuminated the world on the concept of ‘WHY” to give purpose in our lives.

    Let us have a look at the WHY of Simon Sinek and break it into its components.His WHY reads as follows:

    To __________________________inspire people to do things that inspire them

    so that ___________________________________ together , we can change our world

    The first part of the statement following TO relates to the contribution & the part following SO THAT relates to the impact.

    This is how a WHY statement should be structured to derive meaning and purpose in our lives.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book titled “Find Your Why”
