My work matters more than the appearance surrounding it. I've gained exposure to a spectrum of business dealings since childhood and I've refined many skills working in my family business. I have persuaded formal education to gain theoretical knowledge. I hope this synthesis of theory and real experience will become a valuable asset moving forward in life.I prefer to be direct and keep things clear and concise as possible. I've come across many situations where it has come to bite me back. Despite all that I would still prefer the calm, practical and straightforward dealings with life. I think it's best to have this kind of honest communication for reasons such as Abilene paradox. "In the Abilene paradox, a group of people collectively decide on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of many or all of the individuals in the group. It involves a common breakdown of group communication in which each member mistakenly believes that their own preferences are counter to the group's and, therefore, does not raise objections." - WikipediaI'm betting big on creativity and investing when it comes to the future. In the coming few years most simple and repetitive tasks will be easily taken care of through development of machine learning technology. True creativity is one of the last things that are likely to be automated (if ever). I think we're past the times where having enough land to farm or enough capital to start a factory was enough to be set for life. Markets and trends change fast and with the productivity boost from technology, land and money has lost its edge. Financial management, intellectual property, investing in the right technology stack and developing a strong skill set (both practical & theoretical) will be the best path going forward. At least that is what I'm trying to do with my life :)I believe in letting my work decide my fate; but not with too much emphasis on working "Hard" or "Long". Most people use these as excuses for not working smart or not delivering rapid results. I believe in doing my research and learning all the hidden mechanics of any system /procedure. At school I've been the Treasure of Buddhist Association, Deputy Secretary of English Literary Association and served as a committee member in others. I've been fortunate to be exposed to business dealings closely since childhood and the knowledge ingrained in me has helped me shape who I am and give me a sharp and accurate perspective into finance and capitalism. I know that this is a mere beginning with the capacity to nurture many things in future.
