I had a very regular schedule: Work, go home, watch some TV and then go to sleep. Though I had aspirations to do something more, I didn’t know how to do it. Then I read a book
A couple of years ago, I picked up Richard Branson’s Screw it, Let’s Do it: Lessons in Life. It talks about how people should take on the opportunities they get, not procrastinate, and just do it. He reflects this in his own life and his organisation. He believes in working hard and also partying hard. For instance, he says that one should party hard over the weekend but that doesn’t mean you should come late to office on Monday. He has also talked about how we should drive ourselves and challenge
our beliefs.
