LATE YET LOADED

I was late for a flight. By the time I arrived at the airport, the counter was already closed for check-in. Fortunately, I knew someone working with the organization. When he was trying to convince his colleague, the question the colleague asked was, “Do you have any luggage to check-in”. I quickly replied in the negative when I saw her […]

As we checked in, the officer asked, “Do you have hot water in that flask?” We answered in the affirmative. He pointed out that we should use it for the meal before we go on board.

IF YOU DO NOT SWEAT IN PLANNING, YOU WILL SWEAT IN EXECUTION

We were planning for our annual convention. In one of our strategy meetings, I said to the team, “Let us walk mentally through all the events of the convention: pre-convention, in-convention and post-convention matters”. It was mentally stretching but we saw the loopholes in advance. We ended up making very minimal adjustments at execution. We did not have to start […]

SETTLE THIS BEFORE YOU SETTLE DOWN 9

When we made up our mind that we would be getting married, we made two important decisions- the first was a question that helped us to engage wisdom.
