17: Rajen Prabhu Part 5/6 On Work Life Flexibility, Ambition, Persistence & Success
In this segment, Rajen speaks on Work-life balance and how bringing about that harmony has been possible largely due to a motivating organisational culture and an encouraging boss. Though work always comes first for Rajen he shares how it is possible to pragmatically weave in passion with gruelling ambition by being mindful. He shares how success is about being able to enjoy work and have people who mean something to you, respect you be it at work and home. Among all things, it is Rajen’s persistence which has surprised him especially since he considered himself to be the guy who would walk away from something if it seemed too hard. Looking back, Rajen is surprised how he persisted with those countless hours in the swimming pool unable to swim more than 10 metres! Going forward, Rajen wants to hold on to the sense of gratitude for what he has, retain his sense of humour when things go wrong and would like the understanding to prevail that wellbeing is physical and mental and how one can’t put a price on being healthy. Happy Listening!
