Putting up a post after a really looong time….the break was more to do with my laziness !!
So I was thinking the other day of the people that I have encountered in my life so far….and what were their qualities that I admired the most – and to see what were the commonalities. I was also trying to see if I could categorize such people based on their abilities!
One or many of the following 4 abilities are prominent in the people that i admire….
1. The ability of a person to Read well (or rather be well read). These people would fall under the ‘Adventure’ type
2. The ability of a person to Write well. These people would fall under the ‘Intellect’ type
3. The ability of a person to Speak well. These people would fall under the ‘Leadership’ type
4. The ability of a person to Listen well. These people would fall under the ‘Humility’ type
Each of these four abilities have their own place under the ‘hot’ (read:competitive) sun! And if someone has all four of these abilities, then he or she is a rock star!
What’s more – i also feel that cultivating any of these abilities brings one to closer to its associated type. For example, typically someone with leadership skills will more often than not speak well. What I am saying that the corollary also applies – if someone learns to speak up and well, then he or she starts developing leadership skills. If someone (who is usually not perceived to be intelletual) starts writing on a regular basis – then his or her thoughts develop and crystallize and allows the intellect to sharpen and shine through.
Padho / Likho / Kaho / Sunoh….its really that simple!!
