Hastākshar Issue #25: Because it just doesn’t concern them

This is what the welcome letter at The Wise Idiot looks like:

‘Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. You can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.’

  • Steve Jobs

The Wise Idiot is a small team of passionate believers bringing about positive disruption. Armed with ideas in our mind and smiles on our faces, we have set out to make good things better. It gives me immense pleasure (to use clichéd phrases) and welcome you to the team. 

Anjali, during our conversation, you came across as bright and smart. But, this journey is about being more, becoming more than what we are. Through your actions, you constantly empower others. Let their growth become yours. Superficially, creativity may be restricted to new ideas and innovation. But, its foundation is built on both self-expression and introspection. Try. Understand yourself. Open yourself to a world of opportunities.

I can’t promise you success, but I can definitely promise you failure. There shall be bad days; rough patches where you may question your actions and decisions. We all have them. Every man is foolish for at least five minutes a day; wisdom is in not exceeding the limit. Overcoming these obstacles is very important because they don’t concern Anjali – the writer, they concern Anjali – the person. Don’t stop believing in yourself, because we won’t.

The best of you is yet to come. Good luck!

These words are not just for them. Every time I say them to a new joinee, they are meant for me, too.

And they are meant for everyone. Because we need a reminder once in a while. Don’t we?
