Everybody is different, sure. But that should never limit what you can or can't achieve. But here's the thing, we all sometimes put limitations on us because of not having certain opportunities or resources.  We look at successful people and think that they became what they did because of having so and so and such and such opportunities, resources in their lives.That's not right. What we do need to do, though, is try to look at the same successful people and incorporate some of their habits and use them in your life to at least evolve and become better at whatever it is that we already do or aspire to do. So, here's a list of some habits, inspired by some of the most successful people in the world, that you could adopt: Discipline Discipline is a virtue that not many of us millennials possess. We are just not good at it. There are so many distractions and things to do that we can sometimes find it impossibly hard to fit all of it within 24 hours. There...

A lot of millennials these days, especially the ones who are fresh graduates or are on the cusp of graduation, have this question -- your own startup or the traditional corporate job? Which route should you go? Well, it's not an easy choice, as we all know. The confusion is normal. What's not normal, though, is not even thinking about these two choices that you have and just going with the flow. We're living in an era that is just so vibrant yet devastating for startups. How many startups are launched? Countless. How many startups succeed? A very, very small fraction of that number. how many startups reach the billion-dollar mark? Well, you could count it on your fingers. It's just brutal. Especially in a country like Pakistan which is just not willing to let startups make a big splash. There so few startups in the recent times in Pakistan that have made major headway. Now, in a volatile scenario like that, what do young aspiring graduates do? They more often than...

We live in a time and age where a lot of people don't really read books. They just simply don't. We'd rather binge-watch the latest Netflix shows or catch the new 'Avengers' movie, scroll for hours on Instagram and snap away on Snapchat. Well, there's nothing wrong in that, let me just say that. I am guilty of doing that too. Now don't get me wrong. There are still a lot of people who read books but that number isn't what it used to be a decade or more ago. It's not because books aren't good anymore. Trust me, they're still great. It's because we are all finding it harder and harder to make time for it. We just simply don't have the time. Well, at least that's what we tell ourselves. But here's the thing, we all make time for whatever we want to make time for, no matter what. There are a lot of aspiring entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs who are just starting out. They don't always have a great business acumen or insig...

Game of Thrones is arguably the biggest and most successful TV show in today's time. It's a global force and it has been for quite a few years now. Its characters are very well known and extremely popular. That popularity isn't strictly restricted to just the characters themselves, though. The actors that portray those main characters are equally popular -- Emilia Clarke(Daenerys Targaryen), Kit Harrington(Jon Snow), Peter Dinklage(Tyrion Lannister), Maisie Williams(Arya Stark), Sophie Turner(Sansa Stark), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau(Jaimie Lannister), Lena Headey(Cercei Lannister), among many others. They've all enjoyed immense fame over the past few years and amassed a fortune of money and fans, among the various other great tv/movie gigs that they've booked. As all Game of Thrones fans(and non-fans) are aware, we're on the last season of the show. The final season(8th) is already underway. We're four episodes down and there are just two more left. As you ca...

There have been so many great stories on celluloid that make you want to think but there are only a handful that make you want to act on those thoughts; in a positive, proactive way. Over the years, there have been many great movies that have shown us a certain image and reality that we all so often aspire for. So, here's a list of some movies that are going to help you get your entrepreneurial juices flowing: 1. The Social Network  This is the story of how 'Facebook' came into being. A great portrayal of the beginnings of the social networking platform itself and the mad genius, Mark Zuckerberg, behind it. It is inspirational, dark, and a great portrayal of how a cultural phenomenon comes into being. 2. The Wolf of Wall Street This absolutely brilliant cinematic masterpiece was a blockbuster when it released back in 2013. It showed the drugs-infused maniacal world of Wall Street and the people working in it. It is a true story(mostly) of the real 'Wolf o...
