It’s ok to lose. But to fear? – No.
Be strong. Be confident. Be yourself.

Need another holiday…
Back in the office. Back to work. Back to where I left everything…
You knew it was a matter of time before this popped up on my watch…
That’s right – my watch was telling me, a minute of deep breathing can reduce stress.
There’s a number of things that can stress us out. It could be work, people, surroundings…
What can stress do to us?
We don’t want that!
So, what do I do when i’m Getting a little stressed or a message of that nature pops up on my watch?
Well…. firstly, I try to get some fresh air.
Most of my time, I either spend in an air conditioned environment (like my office) or an aeroplane. And whilst I need to be in these environments, I do try to go out for a walk. Most of the time – the office is in a built up area, or town centre… but still…. a walk can help. 10-15 minutes of walking, clearing my mind… can help reduce stress.
In addition to the above point – I find an ice cream also helps.
Music. That also helps me. Some relaxing music helps. Not Dr Dre or Wu Tang Clan. Some soothing and calming music usually does the trick.
There’s a few things that can help to reduce stress…
So if you’re getting a little stressed or messages are popping onto your watch of the stress nature…. slow down, relax, try to enjoy like…. take it a little easy and my favourite – Go outside!
Smiley faces all round.
Turn that frown, upside down!

We all need to get away…
Bal, where have you been for the past few weeks? – no new activity on your blog…
Well… I did mention I was going to jet off for a few weeks in the sun and copious amount of food. Which I did. And thoroughly enjoyed.
This was my view for the past few weeks…
I didn’t realise how much I needed the break. I was going at 100mph. I had so much going on, both at work, my personal ventures, startups I’m involved, institutions I’m working with… and on top of that, lots going on at home!
It was only a few days into the holiday, that I was able to totally relax and reflect.
It was at the moment, I was floating on a pink lilo that I realised how fast I was going… and that not only did I really need this break, but needed to slow down and reflect.
We’re all guilty of it. Working. Head down. Moving forward. Not stopping.
But we need to.
So what did I do on holiday… well, I relaxed. I read a book (which was excellent by the way, and I recommend it!) – it was ‘The subtle art of not giving a f**k’.
I was also able to reflect… on everything that’s going on. Able to re-position, able to re-adjust some of my priorities, able to… re-fine my long term plan.
‘Bal… you have a long term plan?’
Don’t we all? – as I was taught at Kodak… Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail.
I do always have a Plan B. Courtesy of Mr Mike Tyson, who reminded me… ‘Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face’.
So all in all…. great holiday, great book, great to re-energise myself, good to slow down and reflect and best thing… re-focus.
