GIOVINEZZA

Well ....it all started with a dream ..na..more of an idea...na dream..hmm..both. That's better. When the first time they (the youth group members) proposed it. I said Vow what a thought. But I blasted them too. Not because I did not like the idea or the dream of our own Youth Festival but because the idea was the put up before the group in a way that it should not have been. Had it been somebody else they would have been disheartened. Not our boys (and girls too). They sold the idea of what started with a few to the full group. 

That was about three weeks ago. Over the past three weeks they have managed to do their bit and move ahead on making the dream into a reality. That takes some guts. Especially when you have not done anything on scale that you are aiming at. True they have experience of successfully organizing programs before hand too. But what they are trying attempt is to get a few thousand youths to a part of this festival over period of three days. Now that is something really to aim for. They all know how tough its going to be. But deep within their hearts is a burning desire to make it happen successfully. More importantly are the efforts to push themselves hard and that by not compromising on their studies. Now that's really something to be proud of. And I am to be associated with them. Seeing them I realized one thing though what it means to live your dream.  The response on Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=278865938790559 and specially created website (http://giovinezza.co.cc/) has been really encouraging too. 

Way to go St. Michael's Youth Group, Manickpur....way to go.

All the best.

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

Emotions in Business - Fear: The Good Side

Fear is often painted as the villain in the business world—the force that holds us back from taking risks, making bold decisions, or stepping into uncharted territory. But what if we’ve misunderstood fear all along? Fear, when harnessed correctly, is not a weakness; it’s a powerful signal. It tells us what matters, sharpens our instincts, and forces us to prepare better. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, understanding fear can be the difference between reckless decisions and calculated risks. Fear and Decision-Making Fear plays a crucial role in business decisions. A CEO contemplating an acquisition fears overpaying or making a wrong strategic move. An entrepreneur fears market rejection. A salesperson fears losing a big deal. But these fears, when analyzed, can guide better decision-making. Instead of dismissing fear, we must ask: What is this fear telling me? Is it highlighting a blind spot? Is it pushing me to prepare better? Successful leaders don’t eliminate f...

What's Next

Life can get pretty tough if you have not decided on what's next.

It can get you to a particular point, but then after you have to be sure about which way are you going to go or what you are going to do next.  There will come a time when you will have to sit down, reflect, and ask some tough questions to yourself.
