The power of words - the secret to communication

  Have you ever sent a text to someone , immediately regretted it and then watched in horror as the little “Read” notification sealed your fate? Or tried to crack a joke only for everyone to stare at you liked you have confessed to a crime? Yeah, communication is tricky  Why is communication important, you ask? Here’s the thing- words are powerful. They help making friends, answering the questions in class, winning arguments against your siblings ( without starting a World War III ) and to get you out of awkward situations. Strong communication isn’t just about talking ; it’s about expressing yourself in a way to make people listen and understand you.  The impact of your words :-  1. Words can build or break relationships-a simple “thank you” or “I appreciate you” can make a persons day but careless words can leave scars. So treat someone how you want to be treated.  2. Confidence with clarity - ever felt nervous while speaking or stuttered while you spoke? That...

No plan? Lost? Confused? No problem- life still works out

“What are you planning to do in your life?” “Which stream are planning to choose?” I have been asked this a lot of times. And you are likely been there too…either in school event , family gatherings or a random relative or a friend asked this. You probably smiled awkwardly and threw out a safe answer “ummm….something related to tech” and immediately changed the subject. Guess what ?…that’s totally fine. 1. Nobody actually has it all together ( even if they pretend to) Let’s be real, a lot of people look  like they have their lives all figured out . The straight A student with the dream college in mind or that one friend who has set to be an entrepreneur since they were 5.  But here’s the truth, most of them are just winging it. Yup, even the adults( well that was shocking)- the ones who pay bills and file taxes- they are still figuring it out as they go.life is a chaotic and an unpredictable adventure , no two roads Look the same. 2. You are not behind , you’re just livin...

How tiny shifts can lead to massive impacts

You know how that one decision-like hitting the snooze button when your alarm goes off or actually choosing to get out of bed, can change the whole vibe of the day?Well… life is not any different. What if I told you that the biggest changes in your life does not come from drastic changes or decisions, it comes from small shifts you barely notice.Here’s how 1. The one degree change theory It’s those small, almost insignificant changes in our life ( good or bad) that over time leads to significant and an impactful difference.  If a ship starts from Los Angeles to New York but its course is shifted by even one degree you would reach a completely different city- miles away from your actual destination.The same rule applies in real life.The small changes that may seem insignificant but over time it can change your whole trajectory. 1 degree of good change - success  Eg - Drinking more water ➡️  more energy ➡️ better workouts ➡️ healthier body 1 degree of bad change- slow decli...

Setting goals as a teen

  Let’s be honest - goal setting sounds easy theoretically but in reality , is it? One moment I feel very productive ,motivated and ready to wake up early.The next moment I am scrolling through YouTube and feeling so unproductive. As a teen managing school, exams, extracurricular ,friends and goals may seem impossible.But setting goals is not being overwhelmed or having it all figured out-it’s about growing from your mistakes and living the life as you want to.So if you have a tough time setting goals ,this is how I try to set goals(and achieve them)and navigate through the chaos and challenges life brings. 1. Start now, even if it’s messy Many people put off setting goals just because they are waiting for “ the perfect time ”-I’ll start tomorrow….next week….next month. Ring a bell? Honestly, there is no perfect time to start. If you wait till you are completely ready, you probably will never begin. You don’t have to have it all figured out to just take the first step.Even messy st...
