I Wish I Could Be Like You...

Let your actions inspire others 

to dream more, learn more, do more and become more

Everyone we meet or may know has something to be admired. People have their own struggles in life that they get through and each person has their own stories about the moments of their life that have shaped them to be like the way they are. Some have a natural presence or something ‘special’ about them that is worthy of admiration.

 

My friend EM is one such amazing woman. I have always looked up to her. She is so driven, has so much of positivity, lot of wisdom and has the ability to put herself in other person’s shoes. She is kind, loving and caring, good at listening and even better at coming up with solutions to handle complex situations. She has had hard times but with her positive attitude she has pulled through.  Developing people is her passion and her personality is so inspiring. Above all, she is just a nice person. The one thing that makes her irreplaceable is that she makes enjoying the ‘little things’ in our lives so easy.

Just few minutes ago EM called me to inform that this evening she handed in her resignation from the post of Service Director at her organisation, to be a homemaker and watch her two little ones grow up. Oh EM, I wish you and your family the best in everything.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni - Captain of Indian Cricket team. He is one of my favourite celebrity men. Cricket fanatics in India are full of praises for Dhoni today. Rightly so, at the world cup cricket final today, Dhoni rose to the occasion by playing a masterful innings with complete conviction and confidence to lead India to a sensational victory. 

I have always admired Dhoni for his calm and patient attitude even during those days when he was accused of playing poor cricket and being just a hawker of commercial products.  Dhoni has always presented as a cool, confident and a smart person. He always exudes calmness even under intense pressure whether he is at the crease, behind the wickets, at the presentation stage, or on camera. He never lets the nerves get the better of him. Dhoni believes in himself and exhibits terrific leadership skills. All these qualities have enabled Dhoni to flourish as a great captain for the Indian Cricket team.

After rejigging the batting order today, as Dhoni came to bat, there was lot of pressure on him. Yet he kept his calm and did what he was meant to do and rest is history. A high class performance from a high class leader who leads by example. That’s  the way….Mahi ve!
