Igniting minds to develop problem solvers and researchers for a sustainable world
Build your inner coach
Situations around us tend to make us doubt our abilities and weaken our confidence. Perhaps most of us are wired this way. But how do tackle this? How do we train our minds to overcome this and turn stronger? The answer too lies within us, as long as we do not lie to ourselves.
Win over your life with passion
We are wreaked by societal pressures to become what we are not. So has education taught us to take that route for generations. The net result is a waster life and waste opportunities
Transforming yourself
Nothing is ever constant, we humans are not either. However this is the process that seems the toughest for us, confronted with the barriers which we ironically set for our own selves.
Humility in a world of flux
We are in a state of flux; in fact, we have always been. The times mark a conflict between the need to be grandiose and the urge to be humble and low key. The benefits make it worth the effort.
The magic of humility
Humility is a much abused virtue. It has been perennially stigmatized to be a sign of weakness and timidity. However it is the latent powers of humility that makes it the ‘queen’ of all virtues. Let us unshackle our minds to accept it.
Humility or, to become a little less different
What is it to be humble? And why should we be one in a world where self aggrandizement seems to be the only way to glory and success? Well, the answer lies in what and how it changes us, internally.
Recognize your strength through humility
We do not seek to be humble ever, though this is what empowers us to do and achieve the highest. Therein lies the enigma, bafflement and magic of this apparently simple, but one of the most deceiving virtues- humility. The risk is none, but the rewards are high.
The anatomy of rejection
We lose out a lot from life when we succumb to the feeling of rejection. But only of one changes his perspective towards this inevitable experience, he can find the route to success
Attention versus reflection
We are perennially caught up in the tussle between seeking and giving attention. While our insecurities propel us to crave for attention, our humane and compassionate selves ask us to attend to diverse issues around us. However it is when turn our attention to our own inner selves through mindful self-reflection that we unearth the true purpose of our existence.
Thinking pattern of original thinkers
An original thinker with a creative mind is not a creature from Mars: he is one amongst us but has some fundamentally human qualities. And that is what we lack. Nurturing these attributes, however, can be extremely liberating as these empower one to usher in a change in the world.
Languish and flow
It is natural to wallow and languish. But it is more natural to turn over and transcend the ennui. After all, that will give your life a meaning worth striving for.
Money habits and human emotions
We claim ourselves to be rational beings. But when it comes to handling something as important as money, we usually become the most irrational. Read on to unravel the overwhelming impact of our emotions on money matters.
STEAM and the frontiers of Art
STEM learning has been popular and useful till such time it was found that it actually lacked the ‘soul’, that is Art. Added to STEM, it gets delimited in scope and makes STEAM a sheer power to reckon with. But this scope needs to be understood well and implemented with dexterity.
Towards self reflection
We are all empowered to change our own state, of the people around us and of our environment. But that needs self awareness that can come through self reflection, asking ourselves ‘ Why’.
Our exploration challenge
To explore is a primal human urge, but a hugely challenged one today. This is primarily due to one’s fear of failure which our environment and education systems have instilled in us. To overcome this fear and engage in the journey is, however, a worthwhile experience that the world badly needs.
Procrastination- finding the way out
The cliche reads thus: Time and tide wait for no man. But to make better use of time, one needs to know the reasons why time is not working out for him the way it should. No, it is not an astronomer’s prophecy. It is sheer understanding by mindfulness and reason.
