Just Do It !


“ When someone says you can’t do it. Do it twice and take pictures”. I don’t know who quoted this. I just found it on Pinterest. 


Do you remember being told that you couldn't do something or that you weren't good enough for it. What was your response that time? Listening to those words, did you drop that plan immediately or did you show them that you could do it and took a picture of it?

If you have dropped the plan that means you have actually fallen into a big trap. A trap where you are trying to please others. You never tried to live for yourself. All you want is to please everyone around you. 


 There is a famous quote by David Copperfield, and it goes like this. “When people say you can’t do it - that it is impossible - never lose hope. Just because they couldn’t do it doesn’t mean you can't”. Believe in yourself. Never think you have only the limited talents others are having. You are always special with your own talents. Achieving your dreams is possible if you believe in yourself and set your mind to it.


I guess one beautiful story of a beautiful girl can make this quote more clear. This is the story of a girl born in a Marwari business family in Bopal. Just like typical Marwari families she grew up learning her business lessons. She completed her schooling and did MBA from London. But unfortunately she was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 22. The doctor said to her that she had very little time left to live in this beautiful world. But her response was shocking. She faced it with utmost confidence and told that she will come and meet the doctor after 40 years. With that confidence she defeated cancer in one year. After that she wanted to become a pilot. But as she is from a typical middle class Indian family her family and friends said a big NO to her dream. Her family suggested to open a coffee shop and get settled fast. But she believed in herself. She invested 5000 rupees and built an app to book chartered flights. An app that works like Uber or Ola but only to book chartered flights. From there she grew to a women entrepreneur who  built an Rs. 150 crore turnover first Indian aircraft leasing company. I know you guys have already guessed the beautiful girl, she is none other than Kanika Tekriwal. The founder of JetSetGo. Almost 72% of all private jets in India are managed by her. 


The way she lives her life is a testament to the fact that if you dream big, everything will come to you in the right direction. Every NO you get in your path can be turned into a beautiful YES. So always live for yourself. Ignore the words that you feel are negative. All the best and keep moving. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful, enjoyable day :)

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
