The first-ever book that I read was Rich Dad Poor Dad. It left me awestruck. Since then, I have read a lot of self-help books and books on money management. I find these books insightful. They offer actionable takeaways.

All the content I consumed a year ago revolved around productivity and all the new things people were trying. …

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; We get stronger and more resilient.” – Dr. Steve Maraboli

Life is all about struggles. It was never meant to be easy. We all struggle with something or the other. The ones who are able to deal with those struggles, triumph. Others end up failing miserably.

‘Me too’ are the two most comforting words out there. Once we find out, someone else has the same struggles as us, it makes us feel less piteous about our lives.

Last week I got an assignment that was due yesterday. Before I got this assignment, I had decided that I’ll be completing my assignments the day I’m assigned one.

But I kept on saying to myself, “Relax, I’ll do it tomorrow, it isn’t due today. I still have a lot of time.” And this approach of mine didn’t let me complete it until today. I hate to admit that it got completed yesterday. …
