The People You Meet.....

-
We are all social animals.... Every single on of us... We need and thrive of each other.... There is a reason why solitary confinement is a punishment. We might not get along with everyone we meet.... Your family, friends, acquaintances etc. We all have that one family member, or friend in your friend circle or business partner who gives you a lot of grief.... But the fact of the matter is we need them in our lives as well.

Being civil is an art... not everyone can master it.... Some people are fantastic at it.... those are the people you should be careful with because you have no idea what they are thinking. Then you have the suck ups.... People who go out of their way to get noticed.... They are a little more easier to detect cause you know what they want at the end.....

But then you have your friends... They are an integral part of our lives.... we value their opinions, values etc. Often times we work in tandem with them and if they turn out to be sincere it creates an ever lasting relationship. But sometimes people you were close to tend to fade away. They become busy and wrapped up with their lives.... and you fall on to the side lines even if you were extremely important to them.

The fact of the matter is that most relationships we have today are superficial. Finding real connections with people is hard and you have test the waters before you dive in head long. You will be surprised you turns around and is there for you when you least expect it and the people you count on often times just glide away. Its not their fault sometimes there are actual reasons but then there are times when there aren't. But thats fine as well... we all say....

How many times have you heard this "Best friends are those who pick up right where they left of even if it was years later" That stands true for most part of it cause inherit personalities don't change but people in general do.... and that where you left of bit of it most often then not last for the initial honeymoon phase of any relationship. After that then you have to deal with why did we loose touch etc. Fact being your friends move on, relationships evolve..... There are so many experiences to be had.... different people to be met....

Every person you meet; whether he or she annoys you or makes you envious is irrelevant; will nurture your life.

Question is have you seen the good in the people you meet in order to see the gift.....????

That Sweet Moment!

I walked out of a shopping mall the other day and I saw my ex - ex employer. They were standing next to a tapri having a glass of chai with a smoke. This would have been my reality had I still been working for hotels. There was this sweet moment when they saw me; where I looked into their eyes and smiled know deep down I am in a much better place than they are today, even though they held superior positions to me within the organisation at the time.  While I was an employee, often times I was bullied by the senior members and not in a good way. There was a lot of discrimination partly because I was a girl and partly because someone found out that I came from a upper middle class household. It wasn't a fare game anymore. There was a rejoinder to every statement and a comment to every answer. To the point that it lead me to give them my resignation, Thus ending my career with the hotel trade.  I loved working in hotels. The staff, the energy, the synergy, the team work is ama

When is it time to Quit

-
Their Story Isn’t Yours I started this company about four and a half years ago alongside three of my friends in my office since they needed a space to work out of as well. Things were great! We shared the bills and we had company. We also landed up passing business to one and learning of one another. It was nice and comforting. Then life happened and everyone started to move their separate ways for greener pastures. We parted knowing it was the end of an era but necessary for the next stage for our respective companies.  See at that time everyone was in Startup mode. Everyone wanted to branch out and start something where they are their own boss. Sounds ideal, right? Well no one told them about the inside scoop on how difficult and trying it is. A large chunk of those startups including a few of friends of mine didn’t see it past year three. And that collided with my 5-year slump wherein I started to question myself. Self-doubt made home in my brain. It was a dark hole and I

When Your Support System Malfunctions!

-

Everyone has a support system. They may not have a traditional one but one that works for them nevertheless. But like all well-functioning machines, it tends to do its own thing from time to time and you need to figure out a way to make it work again. Sometimes all it needs is a good “Servicing.” Unfortunately for an entrepreneur, we survive on the positive energy of our support system. We rely on them for comforting words, a shoulder to cry on or just being the punching bag we require at that time. The road to success is a long winding one; we all know that. And the current government rules, regulations, and economic crisis are making it so much harder. The frustration gets the better of us quite often and we take it out of the people we know aren’t going to desert us. But this is not the only aspect, which drives a wedge between you and your loved ones. “Expectation” is one that hurts the most. Initially, when you start out all bright shiny eyed and you fail you h
