Being brave is also a mindset which can be cultivated.

Robert H Schuller once said: "What would you do if you knew for sure you wouldn't fail?" . Failure doesn't bring joy to anyone. But I like this  thought provoking question. But my take is add a sub question to this one and ask. Now would I do the same thing even I fail ? Fear of failure often becomes roadblocks and for me personally it also had become driving force into working hard. Fear can Hurt sure but Fear also can help if channeled correctly .I believe for people who is willing to play the long game of life, being brave is not the absence of fear, but the ability to persist in spite of fear of failure or actually failing.We need to remind ourselves , paraphrasing Lana Del Ray here  “Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don’t fail forever.”

Introducing byte sized information on 5G technology today.

The hype around 5G has been brewing for sometime now, but we're finally  at a stage where we are starting to see the early research and development bear its fruit.

 The technology truly promises to change our lives by connecting everything around us to a network that is nX times faster than our cellular connection and potentially 10 times faster than our speediest home broadband service at present.

Welcome to the journey of understanding this tech in a digital dreamer way!

Micro Excerpt from the show : There is a powerful quote in Anne Frank's " The diary of a young girl" - “People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.”Have you ever been told to keep your mouth shut , may be not in those specific rude words but in a polite way .Please don't breathe a word, Keep mum, please keep it under's one own hat.As a shy and introverted from past I have heard various version of it and had stayed quite , fearful or just plain shy to express myself. But it definitely never stopped me of not having an opinion. It just gave me motivation to learn to overcome my fear of expressing myself and be better communicator.

Mindsets makes a huge difference in life. As a consultant I love to solve problems and it's exciting. Hence I am continuously exploring this area.

we talk about  a few more mindsets in today's episode. Enjoy listening.
