Lessons from NYC
My vacation is over. New York was fantastic; weather was good and am loaded with good memories and great time.
The best part was meeting some inspiring people and seeing why they are so good at what they do. Here are some New York City NYC flavors for you:
•Being around ambitious people works- you see other people implementing their careers and you not only get more information but also learn great things simply by observing them. In NYC you are rubbing shoulders with the best everyday.
•They love their careers, not jobs- attachment to their current location is zero, what they are striving for everyday is more opportunities, more money and take every chance to grow.
•Networking is part of their lifestyle- they are always looking for new contacts, saving phone numbers and keeping in touch.
•They stay updated and gearing up everyday for the next move- reading, taking up classes and stay in top of their games everyday. It’s an initiative NYC professional don’t take for granted.
So, whichever city you are in, its time to be inspired!

The Power of Now
This post is late. I didn’t time it out this weekend, because I was busy meeting people.
Monday came with bang- car problems, busy day, too many things in hand and resume updates. Before I get back to more work and then to PMBOK here’s something wonderful I learnt last night while reading Eckhart Tolle.
I set goals and deadlines, sometimes panic and take on more than I can chew. The book – The Power Of Now talks about simple stuff of looking towards the Now than the tomorrow. Why run behind something and not enjoy the running?
Makes sense. So, even though I had nightmares about getting the car towed and the problems of getting to work- I gave it a try. I didn't panic. I just took one step at a time.
It sure felt nice and better to be in control and not panic.
The problem as he says- is a frame of mind that we force us to think of. There are no problems in life, only situations that need to be taken care of. If we focus on the NOW, it is all fun.
So, when I ordered my red ipod I engraved -Happiness- is the essence of waking up everyday.
What’s the point of toiling if I am not happy- is it not why I go to work? Or get up every morning?
So, no matter what goals you have for life, it will all work out but the time is now. It will never come back.
So, enjoy it, take deep breaths and live today, so you don’t have regrets tomorrow.
Next week, spending time in New York with my parents who are visiting. Expect more tweets than blog post!
