Aug 05 2008 - Yesterday - A memorable day of my life..
I had the good fortune of meeting Ms. Kiran Bedi. Seeing her in person and having a chance to have heard her speech - truly inspiring.
Also had a chance to see and listen to Mr. Subroto Bagchi (the brain behind Mindtree consulting). One of the finest and most inspiring speeches i have ever heard till date.
As a retrospective i am now thinking about life in general, and my aspirations towards it in particular. How i can improve over myself. What drives me? what are my passions and so on.
It has truly been a "Self Discovery" exercise from then on and i am sure it will continue to be one. Somewhere in the recent past i have decided to define success for myself.
Success as i see it not as per the society's norms, also not as what my peers see it , sometimes not even as my spouse sees it - Simply as I see it.
Because towards the end it's Me that matters the most. I am back with a new zeal , that will ensure that i become a better person.
Come to think of it - i have realized that all of us are unique and this is really important. So when we want to be better we can only be better than our current selves.
On a closing note - i am quoting what i heard from the leadership of my company..
"Aspire to become what your 5 year old thinks you are."
PS: If you don't have a 5 year old then consider your mom / granny or whoever thinks you are a Super Star...
Wishing you all a Very Happy Journey on the path of Self Discovery...........
