this journey forward. What next is always the mantra for success?
I discussed with my wife, my mentors and few other friends.
My friend Kavitha called from Houston. She suggested few ideas. She
suggested saying that all of us are having trouble in practising the life
skills on a daily basis. Most of things we know very well. We need help in
implementing these life skills. She went on and suggested having weekly challenge
like a Game and all of us participate from the beginning of the week and share
their challenges, reviews, best practices towards the end of the week. Hats off
to Kavitha. I dedicate this episode to her.
