#WhenIWas15

LinkedIn is celebrating its 15th Birthday. Happy Birthday LI! Kudos to #JeffWeiner and the entire #LITeam! Jeff LI has absolutely grown to be an outstanding platform for bringing like minded individuals together. Thank you for envisioning LI and driving it to where it is today. #Appreciation.

LI has promoted me to post on 'What i wanted to be #WhenIWas15' and here is my post.

At 15 i most wanted only the positives of life to exist in the cosmos. As a 15 year old my solution was, we should create a concoction the likes of the 'Love Portion' Puck accidentally sprinkles in Lysander's eyes instead of Demetrius's, which causes Lysander to fall out of love with Hermia and in love with Helena. Whoops! Now Demetrius and Lysander both want Helena, and Hermia is left unloved. Read Shakespeare' Midsummer Night's Dream to find out what comes of Hermia. At 15 i wanted to have powers like Puck. Except our concoction will be a 'All Things Positive Portion'. 

Six months from there, i crossed paths with Rumi. Contemplating on his writings in the year that followed i realised day and night both are equally important. One is not better than the other. And so it is in life. We need all the four seasons, we need joy and sorrow, we need yin and yang. Everything serves us and everything is happening from us for us.

Transposing this thought into business world, as Leaders we need to understand that #Diversity just like yin and yang creates creative solutions. Embracing #Diversity brings abundance, radiance, empowered and outstandingly connected world!    

May the force be with us all.
