Jam Jar

In this transition, each of us has become future-ready even before we thought of it, similarly, we have also obtained so many options unlatched. When we were kids, we all wanted to become a doctor, someday a lawyer, or maybe run a business or something. Skip to 20 years and you see different career choices right in front of you. The follow-up question is how does one know which career is best suited for them? So, I happened to recently read this book The Defining Decade by Meg Jay- which had a very beautiful case study I’d like to share. It is called the Jam experiment, so they choose a local grocery store to understand one's life choices. So, there were two conditions, one which has six flavors available for tasting, whereas in the second condition it has six plus the eighteen more flavors of jam. Cut to the chase study showed that the twenty-four-flavor table attracted more attention yet resulted in fewer buyers. Shoppers flocked to the exciting array, yet most became overwhelmed

Minimalism

I have always been fond of watching documentaries which carry value. Minimalism is one of those documentaries which I wanted to watch and try using in my life too. Minimalism in simpler terms is living with less. Sounds absurd? Right? Why would someone not want a good lifestyle? Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus have helped millions of people to lead a meaningful life by their podcasts, books and website. In the documentary they share their journey while launching their new book; answering questions which mainly each of us would have. Let me be clear this is not about degrading your lifestyle but about cutting things which are unnecessary. More like preferring quality life over quantity. Marketing has played such a role in our lives that we tend to buy things in excessive quantities.  Currently the problem seems how we assign our stuff; we tend to give too much meaning to our "things" often taking our health for granted, our relationships, our passions, our personal

The Ride of a Lifetime

Disney is something we have grown up watching. So, I have been longing to read this book by Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. If you like reading business books then this is definitely a quality choice to make, so again if you don’t like reading or not aspiring to be CEOs this leadership book can help you in personal life too. These are six takeaways from this book: 1. Leadership : Iger tells why is it vital to create space in daily life to let your thoughts wander your job. While sharing his journey he mentions his relation with Steve Jobs and how he always remembered him and his lessons and one beautiful thing Iger mentions about him is that “How Steve was great weighting all sides of an issue and not allowing negatives drown out positives, particularly for things he wanted to accomplish.” That’s a powerful quality to learn.  2. Innovation: As this happened in an early 2000' due to rapid change in technology, they had to adapt it. Time in time Iger recalls

Before anything else, I am happy and grateful that you made an effort for giving it a read. Initially I posted content on my social media but now I wish to take it ahead. So basically I'll be writing content on self help, as it's essential for humankind. Alongside I'll also suggest you few movies, documentaries, books some might even take you down the memory lane. I hope, you enjoy the content.  Your suggestions are also appreciated. Thankyou. Regards, Priyall Kothari Follow: Facebook Instagram Twitter

You never know what someone is going through

-
As someone who usually takes times to process information which comes to me as a disclosure, my mind gets completely shut. I take attempts when to take something to heart and when not. Of course we get clarity as we grow old. Today it's about  everyone who is going through something with a happy exterior. We assume situations who has either acted discourteous or have hurted us by certain piece of information, you might be inseperable with that person but sometimes that's what is inside them and you still may never know about it. There is always a reason for that certain kind of behaviour. It didn't crop me that even if the person is transparent he might not have the courage of talking as he may not want to get judged hence drawing a viel over his feelings. When the cruel reality is revealed I think it's more about the person who said it rather than you. Try to know the reasoning of their behaviour, and if you feel to give a second chance and trying to make things work i
