Time to be a stick in a man's hand can do many things. It can unite a community in a dance. It can command respect. It can cause harm.And yet it is just a stick.

I have a confession to make. When I pick up a newspaper, the first thing I do is flip straight to the obituaries. That's right, the obits.It's not because I'm morbid, and it's not because I've been a gerontologist since the field was in its infancy. It's because obituaries are the true highlight reels of our lives. In just a few paragraphs, you see what truly mattered.The passions, the quirks, the loves lost and gained, the impact, the risks taken or not. They're a masterclass in what it takes to live, not ...

When I was only 17, I was smuggled out of Iran. And in that process, I found a GPS. Not the type of GPS you're probably thinking about right now. It was just after 8:00 a.m. on the 10th of February, 2007. I just got into the people with smuggler's car whose name was Ahmed. This old white rusty car with gray seats that had oil stains all over it. It was somewhere at the border of Iran and Pakistan. When I got into the car, I noticed a device on Ahmed's dashboard. He was typing in it. I've never seen such a d ...

They told me not to step out of this red circle. Oops. But when was anything meaningful achieved by staying inside the lines.Maybe I do want to be in the frame. But I want to talk about why we keep framing leadership the wrong way. Think who do you consider a true leader. Is it their title that made you consider them a true leader or is it something else.See, I grew up in a generation that was bombarded with the messages, be a leader, be a change maker. All of you are leaders. But nobody explained what lead ...

Okay. You can never expect because every time you feel that your life is stable, suddenly a panic monster comes in front of you to tell you, are you chilling. And you're supposed to tell it, no, no, no.I'm still on the track. Well, the place where we all come from, we do not get introduced with the word pressure at school. It starts way earlier at the time of our birth.Well, in my defense, I was 2.5% kgs plus. I think I'm already in the league of the competition. Well, why did I quote that.When you would ta ...
