Yet
another exciting day, on the path to self discovery, as the captain of our ship
Anil sir was leading us through the wonderful voyage of self leadership. We
started our journey by first reviewing our previous class learning’s. Soon
after that we went on a conference call with Prasad Kaipa, one of Steve jobs
close associates (Ex Head of Marketing, Europe Apple). The entire conversation
unfolded the other side of the great legends Mr.Steve Jobs. We got astounded to
know how Mr.Jobs has been focused on to his vision and how determined he has
been in chasing his dreams. It was so
evident from the conversation that it was his focus and determination of which
has turned Apple to be what it is right now-the most innovative companies of
the world.
As
we moved on the path of self discovery, our next port of destination was to
identify the uniqueness within ourselves and the sense of purpose and direction
in our life. We were asked to make a
presentation to the entire class sharing our vision and purpose in life, by
providing answers to the below 5 questions.
Though
it was in initially difficult to find out answers for these questions, as I
moved on I realized that the answer to these questions evolved much easily with
a bit of self reflection and introspection. The most challenging question, was
–“ Who am I?” | It took a while for me to answer this question as I pondered
over my bigger purpose in life. I discovered that I am an ambitious person with enthusiasm & quest for continuous learning. I
am a person who believes in living life with
values reflected through my strength of character.
The
next 2 question which I was supposed to answer was “Why am I here” & “Where
was I going”. These were relatively easier to answer. I am here to chase my dream of becoming a true inspired leader in all dimensions of
life, to shape my personality & character
by reinforcing the values which I possess in every moment of my life. I am moving upward
in this journey of chasing my dreams and goals. I am currently travelling in a direction which is
giving me plenty of experiences unveiling the true strengths residing within
me.
The
answers to the question 2 & 3 made it simple, to answer the next subsequent
question on “Why it is important to know the purpose of my life?” It is important because preserves my values & character in an
unblemished way. The
purpose and direction is also important as it brings within me, the self
realization as to where I am currently and what I need to do to reach the next
level.
The last question about - “how I can leverage my
strengths to reach my goal?“ made me to think about my strengths of passion, commitment, resilience
that could help me to succeed further in
achieving my goal.
