The other day I was travelling in Ola Share when I met a young fellow of around 25-26 years.
He had done his engineering from a private college in Jaipur and an MBA from a less reputed b-school than mine.
In his conversation, he said something which made me realise that he had a very limited understanding of many things.
In my mind, I though less of of him because of his educational background and his views.
So the question is this
What do you attach your self worth to?
Is it the money you have or make? (and the benefits that come along with it)
Is it your educational background?
Is it the clothes you wear?
Is it your beautiful face?
Is it the position you hold in your company/organization?
Is it your beautiful wife/husband?
If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then your self worth stands on a very weak foundation. Take any of these away, and you will lose your happiness and peace of mind.
Would I consider myself lesser than a person who has an MBA from Harvard and an engineering degree from MIT, or is a CEO of a hot shot company? Unfortunately, I think I will.
The guy in the Ola share seemed much happier than I am. After he left, I thought of myself as a fool.

How do we do it?
