Quote by Ranjani Rao

“There are many things I have been sorry for in my life, many mistakes and misunderstandings caused by my words and actions that I find difficult to defend in retrospect. But I am proud of having asked for a hug, uncaring of whether I would be viewed as soft or incompetent. By asking, I learned an important lesson: expressing vulnerability makes us stronger.”

What determines if you win in any game (or business) isn’t how good you are; it’s how good you are relative to your competition.

My nature being what it is, I would not have changed my life, but I can’t tell you what is best for you. That is for you to choose. What I have seen is that the happiest people discover their own nature and match their life to it.”
