Hi ,

Last week, one of my readers (Rohit) suggested something interesting.

His words precisely are-

'Can we have a success story or life journey (with some crucial learnings) of your readers/close one so that we come together as a family and know more people with the help of your newsletter? Just the way you made connections with a lot of people, everyone else can benefit. Maybe 1 out of 10 newsletters. Just an idea. I know it has several challenges to it.'

Not that I never thought of this but it really is challenging to implement.

But it's worth a shot. Let's talk more on this aspect.

        The Idea      

If you notice, I often talk about building community and connecting with the right people.

I think human interactions impact us significantly. Talk few minutes with a wise person and your perspective towards life might change.

I personally highly advocate meeting optimistic and exciting people.

I myself was really shy until I was 22-23 and rarely talked with people.

Solitude is important but not speaking out when required could be a great loss.

Don't be talkative but speak out loud when there is an opportunity.

Connecting with people (good people) is important because often it brings us exciting opportunities.

I and many others want to know your perspective if you are willing to share. I really wish to know you better, if you are glad to share your story.

Many of us will perhaps get inspired, learn, think, and introspect reading your side of the story.

Thus I am thinking to share your side of the story with all my readers once every month through this newsletter.

Just like I share my perspectives, you could share yours too.

Does it sound like a good idea? I need your opinion. Please vote below and click I voted.

If a majority of you vote, I would be more than happy to try to implement this.

I wish to make the newsletter more interactive, and more like a community instead of just one-way communication.

And this could be perhaps one of the ways to do it.

I will be waiting for your response. If you have anything to say, let me know.

P.S: If you are already excited to write/share something, then click below and I will let you know soon.

The Meaning of Human Existence by Edward O' Wilson

A serious but brilliant book, that will get you thinking about life’s big questions.

It will make you think deeply about human existence, religion, civilization, human connection, etc.

The value of human connection

One quote

"Never underestimate the empowering effect of human connection.
All you need is that one person, who understands you completely, believes in you, and makes you feel loved for what you are, to enable you - to unfold the miraculous YOU."
