wandering soul

folks...

this is my first attempt to blog. one may call this as too late but i will say that better late than never. The fascination for blogging has come to me late but will like to make up for it by sharing lots of stuff...

one of the things that fascinates me while sharing and talking with others is what drives each one of us and reasons for the same. there may have been lots of studies done on to get to the bottom of mind of others, not sure we cna reach to the basics of what ticks one and what does not. The reason for me to do a deep dive on this has been many interview chats i have been doing with young minds. The conventional mind says to me that lowest common denominator for all of us to tick is money and i am sure it is. But once we are secure to an extent for the day to day living, the next drivers start differentiating people. What fascinates me is, how different they are once you start delving in them.

i am not here to do psycho analysis of human beings but is interested purely from the perspective that if we know what ticks different individuals, can we make that effort to give it to them in whatever form we cna so that we cna make them happy to an extent. I am working at the moment on something that is very uncoventional from the what normal corporate jobs give. One really needs passion to do what we are doing and hence i get onto mind journey very often to find the driver for somebody to do what we are doing. And it is not usual hard work and willingness to slog it out. everybody in the "B" scools is taught to say these words and also to say that early period in one's life to struggle and learn, one has to get below this superficial say to find that the yound mind is really interested in what we are doing.

We have created tools to decipher this but i am not sure they can reach the depths that i will be keen to get to. i will keep trying to arrive at a codified way of ascertaining what drives one from the other and then make use of it to make them happy than anything. If anybody can shed more light on this, more than happy to learn.

in the meanwhile, signing off and i feel this is too much for somebody's first blog...
