Born thinker. Blessing or curse, still figuring out. Have been lucky to live and work in 3 continents/4 countries and travel to many. Lucky to get that exposure, and I returned the favor by learning from it. I am introvert but love people and love being loved back. A father of a sweet human girl and an annoying but loving dog.
I am afraid of failures but take risks. I evaluate the risks and and then get adventurous. Not sure if it makes sense. I have jumped off a plane, I have deep dived in ocean, I have trekked to the base camp of the mightly Everest, I have eaten the supposedly grossest food, I have run marathons and I have loved with everything I have got. All risky propositions but each one worth it.
I have been a stoic since I could remember but only discovered it when I read about Stoicm after all the recent discussion and realized that has been my way of life forever. Maybe that’s why some people like my way of thinking. For full disclosure - there are equal number who cannot relate to my thinking. Even I keep finding faults in my way of thinking but I improve once I know. Made many mistakes in life and learnt from most. Tried to stay honest with myself and others. Havent been 100% successful. Spent over 20 years in corporate life with over 30 bosses across 5 companies. Did well and achieved more than I or anyone expected and I keep reminding myself of that. I have different view on corporate life that I would like to share too.
I believe I learnt a lot during last 40+ years of existence. I am told I am kind and I think differently. I am also told that I am likable and can make friends easily. I always wondered how can I give back. And this is my attempt to do that. I meet a lot of people who open their heart to me and I realize some of their problems/issues could be mitigated if they could think slightly differently. Just needs a little practice and patience.
I am here to share, learn, think out loud, get feedback, get better, keep improving, see you improve, contribute, know the known unknowns and also the unknown unknowns.
