I've found ..

I have not failed .. I've found 10,000 ways that won't work ! :-)

(grateful 🙏 to be reminded of positive ways of thinking by great men from past - y'day at "Edison and Ford winter Estates nr Ft. Myers, Florida)

old is beyond gold

I happened to meet today a mentor/guide after a very long time (some 20 years or so) .. he was the CEO of first company I joined in 1999 .. I was employee # 200+ at that time .. still he is not only in touch but enthusiastically supports cause of Samskritam that I am passionate about .. he is older than my father - at this age he spent almost whole day with me showing around - very impressed .. mama saubhagyam 

'old' relationships/friends/connections .. all are certainly invaluable .. gold is nothing :)

Art with logic?

I remember we had to pick one out of few motivational quotes/images (something that resonates) - and I picked up the above one .. I searched up the quote - and found it attributed to Shri Gautam Buddha here https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/26838-your-purpose-in-life-is-to-find-your-purpose-and

“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it”

ABCD

Long back I was told - the acronym ABCD stands for going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty .. best done without expectations :) .. but it does bring joy when one gets small token of appreciation

how to find passion?

some random questions that comes to my mind - might be useful to do little probing of  one's calling/passion ..

- what makes you feel most lively?
- when are you the most happy?
- what were your childhood dreams? what were your parents dreams?
- what would you like to keep doing - if there were no constraints/limitations?
- how you spend your time if nobody or nothing was going to stop you?
- if you had the entire universe at your 'command' what do you do/want?

creative use of pizza box/cardboard
