Uncommon sense – Mark my words!

As much as everyone seems to be so concerned about the quiet ill mental health pandemic, it seems also as if no one wants to acknowledge and address its root cause.  Lately, just a brief browse and scroll on social media paints a picture of a society spiraling into self-destruction, both individually and collectively.

Uncommon sense – Just think about it!

So often we hear about legacy. We hear a lot of talk about how we would like to be remembered. As important as this may be, sadly, it is often only attached to the thought of the afterlife. It seems as if we are invisible and go through this life without repercussions or rewards for...

Uncommon sense – We are just pawns in the game

In this superficially sophisticated world, it is easier to be caught up in the web that will eventually control your entire life and its experience. It is not necessarily that it is the way it should be, but mostly just because of your geographical, cultural or even religious positioning you end up being caught in...

Uncommon sense – We are all leaders

Robin Sharma’s book, ‘Leading Without a Title’, echoes the call to not only redefine leadership but to also undergo a greater shift in our mindset about leadership. Often, when thinking of leadership, the first images that come to mind are those of corporate, political, traditional or religious leadership. The danger this poses is that, in...
