I Cannot Change the World

Sara Jacobovici is doing a series of articles on LinkedIn related to our awareness of Time, and I happened to read three of them, on the same day. There are some interesting concepts thrown up here: Give me a place to stand and with a lever, in time, I will move the whole world. I … Continue reading I Cannot Change the World

Anger

I love to say “I learnt it the hard way”. Really? Have I? I know that anger is the outer face of sadness, helplessness, powerlessness …. Whatever the ghastly label that one would like to attach to this mental state. Emotions are transient, and this one is not so. Hence, I would not label it … Continue reading Anger

Thank you, Sue Vincent, for having me on your site. The earth rotates at a speed of 1040 miles per hour. While we are in a jet or Ferrari, we do not feel the speed or movement.

Resolution

Mom always said, I was not OK, and I needed to improve a lot. An imposed discipline, a forced regime, an apologetic promise were created to assure her, that I intended to be good.

The Blackout

Robert snatched the bottle of sleeping pills from Florence’s trembling hands, and tossed it out of the window. “Look at that picture on the wall. It was clicked during the War.” Florence looked at him with listless eyes. Neither life nor the picture made any sense to her numb mind. Robert continued, “Blackouts would cover … Continue reading The Blackout

Why should Coaching start early?

  Being at home indicates a level of comfort, not a brick-and-mortar structure that provides shelter. I love to be with like-minded people, who share my perspectives, or at least, do not disparage me. I love the warmth of acceptance and easy camaraderie. I love floating on similar wavelengths, running/swimming/flying/net-surfing to catch others, and have … Continue reading Why should Coaching start early?

The Important thing is not to stop Questioning

So said Albert Einstein, and here is some more wisdom that I can propagate. Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen, and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.
