Un-image the image to seek higher paths On my quest to discern the simplicity of life, I have apprehended the importance of "looking at the world" . In my view, there are two ways to look at it – first, look through eyes (in the literal sense) and second to look through vision (or become insightful and find what others fail to apprehend). We need both perspectives to comprehend life's meaning and to evolve as true immaculate beings. One of the critical blocks which hinders our view is the image we’ve built for ourselves and others. People we interact with (or in general the Society) mold us in many ways, possibly more than we realize – from our interactions to others' perception, it all reflects on our personal development and to reflection of self-worth. We are social beings and live-in society, so getting accepted to it …becoming a loving piece of its daily set up… is our utmost priority.

Disclaimer - This post is part of trait-series-for-kids which I began to search and write for my kids in 2019.

Disclaimer- This book review is majorly a self-contemplation. The personalized meaning derived from the book vis-à-vis life experiences. The quotes are used directly from the book.  This particular read by the famous motivational writer and speaker Robin S. Sharma is, in my view, a decent ( yet   a little cheesy!! ) book on leadership and personal mastery. The author of Monk Who Sold His Ferrari in this particular book uses a set of acronyms (in fact, a lot of acronyms) to explain the importance of leadership and processes to implement leadership in Business and Life.  The Leader Who Had No Title ( LWHNT ) is a story of a man, Blake Davis who has relinquished all interest in the job and striving every day to maintain his life and relationships. His fate takes a roll when he meets Tommy Flinn, an old friend of his father’s and also the top salesman where Blake works. He introduces Blake to 4 persons with varied backgrounds and work. As the story unfolds, life-changing l...
