Value or Joy?

Tejas Patel — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 11:27:33 +0000

What you gather may be valuable, but it’s what you become that decides your joy.

Two Types of Joy

Tejas Patel — Sun, 04 May 2025 04:39:50 +0000

Life offers us two kinds of joys—settling into what we’ve built, and reshaping it into something new. Some live in their homes. Others live for building them.

Own Your Story

Tejas Patel — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 06:13:42 +0000

Own your power by living authentically for yourself. Pleasing others means handing over the pen that writes your story. Be your own compass.

Procrastinate

Tejas Patel — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 10:24:27 +0000

Procrastination is one’s inability to deal with emotions connected to doing or not doing what’s needed.

Millionaire on What

Tejas Patel — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 11:23:15 +0000

If you tweet a million times does not guarantee you that you will be a millionaire neither does being a millionaire guarantee you a million subscribers on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. One has to decide on selecting and achieving the right ‘million’ first which can then potentially drive other figures if important.

Exponential Change

Tejas Patel — Sat, 05 Nov 2022 11:37:28 +0000

What kind of change is happening around you (positive or negative) – is it slow, accelerating or exponential?

The way you respond to the change should be proportional to the pace of the change itself.

Problem or solution

Tejas Patel — Sat, 05 Nov 2022 11:33:24 +0000

People pay for solutions and not for problems

About Decision

Tejas Patel — Sat, 04 Jun 2022 11:47:31 +0000

Indecision in making a decision is a decision.

Are you having fun at work?

Tejas Patel — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 13:37:11 +0000

Are you having fun at work? My answer to this question was ‘Yes’ because I get to work with a good team, I am working on exciting programs that will make a huge impact, I am passionate about what I do, and overall, I am having a good time doing it.

As I wanted to synthesise this further – which led me to Google and Twitter – I landed on this NY Times article by Catherine Price. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/23/well/mind/having-fun-suceeding-coronavirus-pandemic.html

Catherine defines ‘true fun’ as when there is a confluence of three psychological states called playfulness, connection and flow.

This resonates with me as I can use this definition in all areas of my life. In light of the above definition – I am having fun at work as I have autonomy and creative license to bring playfulness in my work and team, I feel connected with my team and stakeholders and the time goes quickly (flow) as I find engaged and focused on driving outputs and helping my customers.

What’s your take on ‘fun’ at work?

Collaboration and Innovation

Tejas Patel — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 20:26:36 +0000

We can bring more life experiences together through collaboration, enabling knowledge sharing and creativity, leading to innovative solutions. Collaboration also leads to better buy-in and support for change.
