Demystifying Growth


Growth and Contribution are two cardinal needs of a Human Being. However, there is a huge mist around both the words!

This blog post addresses Growth.


It is indeed a profound thought... "the quality of our life depends on the quality of our decisions"!


Any decision that we take is never between Right and Wrong--because, no one takes a decision if it is known already that it is wrong! Hence, the decisions that we make are always between Right and Right, each time!


Many of us lose precious years traveling in a direction that was actually not the desired one (a realisation that dawns on us much later!)...


While making decisions relating to Growth, we have to to be clear of the answers to many questions. Some of the key ones are listed below:

  • Is Growth same as Progress?
  • How are Growth and Success connected?
  • What are the different Dimensions in which one should seek Growth?
  • What is Growth, actually? In whose eyes?
  • Can I deliberately choose not to grow?
  • What is the price that I need to pay for the choice i make? Am I really willing to pay that cost?
  • Should Growth be small and consistent or should Growth be in spurts?
  • Should Growth be visible to the outer world?
  • How to value Growth? Who should value?
  • Does contentment mean lack of Growth?
  • What is Holistic Growth?
With a view to bring in more clarity on this key topic, I have uploaded the video of my session done on "Demystifying Growth", in TechED 2011, for Microsoft.
