Before doing anything or taking up any endeavor I always ask myself WHY this.

I was so fed up with questioning why, why, why all the time that in a Personality Development class in college, I did something that shocked everyone, including me.

So, I was in my penultimate semester in college. And our P.D. mentor was teaching us that before taking up any enterprise or a job we should ask Why? or What is in it for me?

And because I was so fed up with my mind due to its never-ending WHYs that when it was my turn to give a speech on any topic, I chose to speak on Why!

I told all the students in the PD class, in front of the mentor, to not listen to the mentor blindly. I told them not to ask WHY all the time.

Sometimes our intuition or sixth sense or gut feeling knows, what is good for us, better. Do not leave the decision-making process to the rational mind all the time.

The mentor instead of getting offended took my stance in a positive light and praised me for the courage to speak my mind.

This is what I wrote after that class
