Envisioning My Ideal Life.
Now what would I do if I could never fail? hmm... This is what everyone wishes for, I wish for. But when given the chance I actually have to think! I dreaded school as a kid. But what made it worth while was those few classes where the teachers were very inspiring, friendly and who encouraged us to build on our strengths. The role of a teacher/ instructor / trainer is very important. The methodology used to impart the skills decides whether you open your mind to the subject or develop a mental block. I wish my lecturers at the university were at least half good as my teachers in school where. I would have definitely got a better push on to the subject then. Yes. Training has been a passion with me. Though never worked in a professional capacity as a trainer, I have noticed that I give more than 100% when I'm explaining something I know to any audience.( May be that's coz both my parents are good at it & my mom is a teacher herself ) I love computers, computing and anything that has to do with computer programming. My bane - I could never pick one to focus on and nibbled at each and every aspect. But surely in the
Business / Career / Studies – What are you doing? What achievements and results do you want to create?
I will be working primarily in a technical career handling a talented bunch and keeping my skills updated with the technology trends. Java/Oracle technologies will be my forte and I will be a role model for good work ethic in my team.
How big is your business/career? (If you’ve a business, will it be international?)
My training and development business which starts off as a local organisation will soon be part of a web which helps in channelling business to any location irrespective of geography.
Finance/Wealth – How much money will you be earning? What property do you live in? What material possessions will you have?
My business would fetch me, at a minimum, one crore annually. My home would be a blend of values which my family believes in. Simple and comfy. It wouldn't be lavish and loud but would definitely be furnished to make life simpler and comfortable for my family.
Health/Fitness – How is your fitness level? How do you look? What is your diet like? How is your health?
Having led a vegetarian and simple life and a regular exercise schedule my family fitness levels are good and all of us look fit and athletic. The diet is very well balanced with less of oil, salt, spices and more of fibre rich and fresh foods. All this ensures that the family has a sound body and a sound mind too :)
Social/Friends – How is your social circle like? What are the kind of friends you are with?
My social circle comprises of people who value principles like hard work and honesty. They are a highly educated lot and contribute to the society with a sense of responsibility. My friends share my entrepreneurial thoughts and skills and we have a healthy powwow over a wide range of issues under the sun.
Family – What are you doing with your family? How often do you meet them?
The family stays together. We make sure that we dine together and have a small talk no matter how busy our schedules, daily. During the day we call up each other to check out how the day has been so far. Weekends are strictly family time. We discuss issues like securing the family's future, planning a monthly outing and also regular health check ups for every one.
Romance/Love – (if you’re single) What is your ideal partner? How is he/she like? What do you love about him/her? Do you have kids? How many? How are they like?
The most striking aspect of my ideal partner's persona is her simplicity. As much a human as I am she appreciates the value of a good education and pursues her own passions actively and is truly my "better" half.
Recreation – What do you do for recreation? What hobbies do you want to pursue?
Reading and writing are my recreational activities. Also, I play my guitar , which i bought on my first job, to help me relax. I would like to pursue some out door activities like trekking and water sports.
Contribution – What will you be doing socially? How will you be giving back to the world / helping others?
My organisation collaborates with a NGO to ensure poor families can educate their children and also help them secure jobs which would put their education to better use. Also, we help the poor and stranded middle class youth to chart their career by providing guidance and ensure they do not become rats in a rat race.
Personal Growth – How will you be pursuing your personal growth? What will you be learning, growing?
On the personal front, I will attend trainings to learn new technologies and stay updated and upgraded ;-)
I also will learn two new languages ( one Indian and the other foreign )
Spiritual – How connected will you be with the world? How will you be pursuing your spiritual interests?
Praying will be my way of staying connected with the supreme power. Prayers at home will be regular. I believe life always shows signs when we are in the middle of no where. I have always seen them when I needed them and am sure the almighty will be my guiding light at all times.
