Welcome back to the Ask Vishwas series. I'm really excited about this episode. In
the previous episode we answered quite a few questions and I really enjoyed answering
some of your personal questions. Some were career related and there were some
really good takeaways from it. So I would like to take a few more questions
this time and get as candid as possible. So let's get rolling on this one.
And the next question for this episode is from a youngster who is just out of
college and here the question: I want to do a lot of things but I'm unable to get
anything done! What should I do? Please advise! This is an amazing
question and something that I can totally correlate with myself because
when I was just in early 20s this is how I was. I wanted to do everything under
the Sun and I was so fickle minded that you know I wanted to be everything at
once and I wanted to do everything at once.
But I didn't realize that
back in the day what is important is that if you want to do something
substantial you need to give it that time. You need to give it the focus. That
is something that I realized much later. But I started feeling you know and I
started feeling in everything I'm doing that's because I was not giving it
enough time. So I'm trying to look at one problem I mean or one idea that I want
to do and something cool comes out there and I quit that and then I move on to
something else so in this process what happens is
you're really not giving the due justice to this particular thing that you are
passionate about. So I'm not saying this is a bad thing because you are in the
early 20s. This is exactly the time that you need to experiment. So you
want to do a lot of things so go ahead and do all of those things. If you
fail it's no problem at all because you have age on your side and
there's no pressure as well if you fail. it's no big deal you move on to the next
one but after some time if you feel that you
have to go back to something for example - if it is art or if it is music or if
it is engineering or to start up or it could be anything for that matter if it
be theater or any of the occasions out there. but if you feel that your heart
is into something and you want to go back there, I think that
is where your true passion lies and you need to go back to that and then use
that to build your entire career. That is what I believe it's very critical. And
the second thing that I believe is there's a concept of detachment which I
always practice in my life. It's a great concept because what really happens is
it helps you to multitask. So the concept of detachment comes with another concept
called concentration. So what you need to do is that you need to take these two
concepts like detachment and concentration and then you need to roll with your
life. it's very simple so when you're doing
something for example right now I myself I'm running a couple of companies and
I'm trying to expand into a lot of these different areas but when I'm
focusing on one thing and one idea I'm completely detached. I'm detached
totally because I don't know I don't care about what anything else that is
happening out there. when I'm thinking about one idea I don't care about any
other idea that's going on whether it is going down or up you know it doesn't affect
me so this gives me that focus and the concentration to focus on one thing. Get
it done like you know like nail it you know that's where it's important then I
go to the next one I'm going to do the same thing there so that is what is the
concept of detachment so I it's it works like beautifully all the time and I
think that you should do that. So the bottom line is you're in your early 20s.
I think you need to go and experiment the heck out of it and this is no
pressure at all no problem at all in my opinion. But come
back, find your true love and you know pursue that for the rest of your life.
That's where the key is so all the best. That's all folks so
that's a wrap for today I had a great time answering these questions and I
