Follow Your Passion
Benefits of Reading Another factor that shaped a lot of who I am today, is the habit of reading. I made a habit to read one hour in the morning before I go to work, because bedtime didn’ t work for me. I was lucky to pick beautiful books that gave me lots of inspiration and -encouaged me to sacrifice my lifestyle in dubai and start boldwin school here in baakline.
I remember once I was reading a book for stephen covey and in the book the author invites us to write“ a personal mission statement” and stick it on the wall so that everyday we see it when we wake up and when we go to sleep. and at that time I wrote this:“ My mission is to change the world through education and -tecnology ”.
Technology is transforming everything we know about business .. Advertising expenditure was switching from traditional media to digital media, and I envisioned that technology will transform the education sector and give kids empowerment we have never -winessed. Eight years down the line, and my mission stands firm. Boldwin School’ s mission today is:
“ Lead and inspire change in education to shape empowered leaders of the future ”.
Here I can’ t stress more on the importance to Write down your ideas, make to-do-lists, make a poster of your mission or dream and stick it on your bedroom wall ..
Another book that helped me a lot in finding my purpose was Good to Great for Jim Collins, part of this book talks about the three circles, and the intersection of these three circles is what you are destined to do in life. The exercise goes like this:
1. you write down what you love doing / learning / knowing about, your hobbies .. etc then
2. you list down what you and your friends and family think you are good at, then
3. you list down what you believe can make you a living or drives your economic engine .. The intersection of those three lists is what he calls“ the -hedghog ..” Is the one thing you should focus all your energy on.
