Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation

Once the F1 driver puts on his helmet and settles into the cockpit of his racing machine, he is not on his own. The pit wall team and engineers and backend team are constantly monitoring the race and the conditions right from word go to the end of the race. The engineers analyzing the data, practice/race briefing and debriefings, and team strategy sessions result in constant feedback.

The constant monitoring and evaluation of on-track events, race cars, competing drivers, speed of cars, lap timings, the distance between competing cars, and continuous communication with the driver hold the key to success in the race.

Moreover, the strategy that is planned can never be a fixed, immutable thing. It is subject to change during the race to take into account the unpredictable events that happen in every race. Collisions, technical glitches, wear and tear of tyres, change in weather, brake failure and a lot of many other things may and do go wrong. These incidents force the teams to change and recalibrate their strategy in order to stay in-game and/or win it.

How effectively the continuous monitoring and evaluation is executed and communicated with the driver ultimately decides the outcome of the race. Our life and life goals are not different either. The same holds true for businesses too. Continuous monitoring and evaluation helps one understand what changes one needs to make to stay in the game and win it. Failure to do so may lead to retiring early or losing the race. The one to adapt and evolve wins.

Day One -- What Am I Going To Write About?

To be honest, I’m not sure. I didn’t have a plan for this. A few ideas popped into my head yesterday, but I let them slip away without writing them down. So now, I’m here, wondering... What should I write about? I’ve always admired how writers seem to find the words. They don’t just tell stories; they make sense of life. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poems, their words flow effortlessly, drawing you into their world. It’s like magic—captivating and transformative. Somehow, they’ve mastered the craft of turning simple words into gems that stay with you long after you’ve read them. And then, there’s me. I just write. I let my thoughts spill out, raw and unfiltered, without much structure or thought. No carefully woven narrative, no grand flow—just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever get to the level of those writers who make it all seem so easy. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. But right now, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m writing. I showed ...

Day 2 - What's Your Purpose?

Have you ever truly asked yourself, What’s my purpose? It’s a question many ask, but few genuinely pursue. We often move through life, following routines without stopping to consider why we’re doing what we do. Many choices are made simply because "that’s how it’s always been done," without questioning the deeper reasons behind them. Think about it: How often do people choose a career because it's popular, without ever asking themselves, Why do I want to do this? It’s rare to pause and reflect on what drives us at our core. But those who are in pursuit of purpose— they ask the important questions. They don’t just accept choices blindly; they challenge the status quo, question the outcomes, and evaluate the significance of their actions in relation to their larger goals. Purpose provides clarity. It’s the compass that guides decisions and actions, ensuring every step is intentional. It’s not just about achieving success; it’s about creating meaningful change,...

Day 3 - The Power of Letting Go: Why It's Okay to Give Up

In a world that glorifies perseverance and celebrates grit, we're often told to keep pushing through no matter the cost. "Winners never quit, and quitters neve win" has been drilled into us since childhood. But what if sometimes the strongest, wisest choice is to let go? What if walking away could be your key to unlocking a better future? There are moments in life when we know—deep down—that continuing down the same path is futile. Yet, we keep going, fueled by hope that maybe, just maybe, things will turn around. We tell ourselves, "I'll give it one more try," even when we know it's unlikely to work. So why do we hold on? There are many reasons, but they often come down to fear: What will people say? Will I be seen as a failure? How can I let go when I’ve given it my everything? I can’t imagine my life without this. There must be a way to make it work! These thoughts cloud our judgment, keeping us stuck. But the real point is not the reason...
