By seizing the opportunities that disruption presents and leveraging hard times into greater success through outworking/outinnovating/outthinking and outworking everyone around you, this just might be the richest time of your life so far.

You can inspire the world. Or you can be liked by all. You don't get to do both.

I love great quotes.

I adore India, its culture, and all the beauty of the nation. My father is from Jammu, and he's had a profound influence on my mindset and way of being.

The best do sweat the small stuff. They get the seemingly insignificant details right. They have the discipline to shine at the baby things which they get gives birth to spectacular giant things.

We live in a world where many of us have a lot of friends on Facebook but yet we have lost human connection.

As we produce work that becomes pure poetry, we impact and influence our teammates, we wow our suppliers, we inspire customers and strangers. And we lead our industry.

Leadership is a mindset that shifts from being a victim to creating results. Any one of us can demonstrate leadership in our work and within our lives.

Victims recite problems. Leaders develop solutions. That might seem like common sense, but common sense is rarely common practice.

I wish for a world that gets that your 'I Can' is exponentially more important than your IQ.

While their competition is asleep, world-class leaders are up - and they're not watching the news or reading the paper. They are thinking, planning and practicing.

Stay true to your values.

Everyone is influencing the people around them one way or another.

Don't always be so reasonable and practical and sensible that you refuse to seize glorious opportunities when they show up and push the envelope as to what's possible for you.

Stay true to your vision/dream. There's something to be said for just staying at what you are trying to achieve well past the point everyone else gives up.

You need to give to get. Give support to get it. Give praise to receive it. Give your best to get your wishes. Give more love to be beloved. Give to get.

If you really want to be world class - to be the best you can be - it comes down to preparation and practice.

As for whether I am a 'new age guru', I am not at all. I help companies build employees who lead without a title and become high performers.

I'm pretty conservative. I believe that buying good quality is a good investment. I buy fewer things but of better quality.

Cynicism stems from disappointment. Cynical and faithless people were not always like that. They were filled with possibilities and hope as kids. But they tried and perhaps failed.

Delegate to others who have strengths where you don't. But sometimes, you just need to be the one to drive the change when everyone else is waiting for someone else to take the first step. To me, that's courage in action.

I try to work out daily in the morning hours. This drives up energy levels dramatically. You'll feel more inspired. And you'll need less sleep.

If we are paying attention to our lives, we'll recognise those defining moments. The challenge for so many of us is that we are so deep into daily distractions and 'being busy, busy' that we miss out on those moments and opportunities that - if jumped on - would get our careers and personal lives to a whole new level of wow.

Most of the things we are afraid will happen never do. Something to think about.
