Greatest Lessons We Learn from Mistakes - John Taffer

 It's about to begin a new month of the year 2020. More than half a year already passed. This year has been a challenging year to all but not for me.


I travelled to America for a month and right before lockdown, I came back after completion of the task at the Indian embassy. I had two choices either wait in America or in India and I chose the second one, luckily. Right after a month of my arrival, the emergency situation arose and the whole world started shutting down their doors.


After waking up at 5 am I turned on pc and did some work. Then I felt to sleep and took a short nap. Now I am back to record my journal followed by exercise and of course the podcast for personal development.

Work Hard on Yourself than Your Job

One of the things I learned through my struggling years, work hard on yourself than your job. As soon as I learned it, I started reading and applying the teachings from self-help books of the famous authors and coaches. And I can feel the difference but not much. Some of my good friends have closely observed me while watching me growing. Some of them admire me and most of them turned their back because of jealousy. One thing I always remind myself, be ready to walk alone. I also found there are only 2 options for everything:- You can do it Or you can not. There is nothing in between these 2 options. Today we have an interview with Eric Thomas by Lewis Howes " When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you will be successful". Eric just completed his PhD. How he did it? He says it is the American dream. It's the greatest time and country to be born. Through education he got everything. Not talking about degrees but real education. He dropped out of high s...
