My biggest financial mistake:
I thought I could be wealthy by earning big money. I didn’t realize that you get wealthy not by HOW MUCH you earn, but by how much you KEEP from what you earn. Do the math: In 27 years of career.. Rs 2 crores income, Rs 2 crores expenses.. how much is left? Smart boy I am no?
My biggest career mistake:
I thought my career path was linked to my education (Engineer MBA) and therefore I was stuck. It was much later in life I realized that my career path can be linked to what problem I can solve for society.
My biggest relationship mistake:
I thought I know people in my life. Truth is everybody is living a hard life full of struggles and I don’t even know 1% of what they are really dealing with.
My biggest health mistake:
It took me a long time to realize that to fix your body you need to fix your head first.
My biggest life mistake:
I was afraid of this and I was afraid of that and I was afraid of everything else in between and strangely most of whatever I was afraid of never happened. (touch wood touch wood!) And I was afraid of people and I was afraid of snakes, which is strange because they’re not similar really. (I’m still afraid of snakes!!!!)
And I thought it’s a mistake to make mistakes.
And that I think is the mother of all mistakes I made!
