Special announcement:
I launched #MyInnerChild challenge yesterday to help end stigma and taboo around mental health and suicide. Every year 703,000 people take their own life and millions attempt suicide. I hope you'll join us, share it with your network, and help change the narrative around suicide together. Every act of kindness helps. Don't underestimate the power of your positive voice. Your story can save lives.

Here are 1 idea from me, 1 learning from others, and 1 question for you to ponder this week.

1 Idea from Me


What do you want for your birthday? I just turned 39 yesterday. A few weeks ago, I asked my wife to get me 39 books and make me a book corner at home. She went around and asked our friends and families for their favourite book. If you got a note from her, this explains it. I will share them with you once I have the titles. A few of you mentioned you are going to steal the idea and do the same with your spouse too. Just don't tell them the idea comes from me. :)

Wealth

“Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don’t see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.”


"The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel

 

1 question for you to ponder

What is your relationship with your younger self?

“Our biases affect the way we look at the world. To change your perspectives, you need to understand how they were formed and how they are serving you.”
