In this talk, Sunil Sharma stresses upon remaining grounded in successes, and recovering from failures of life.He relates to a tough lesson he received early in life. A sudden success, and the resulting admiration of well meaning friends had made him complacent and over confident. He lost focus and failed to reach a much bigger goal - clearing the IIT entrance, one of the toughest competition exams in India.He recovered slowly, but made humility and balance the pillars of his life. One should stay away from extremes, especially of ego, followed by other areas of life.Honouring the eternal concept of The Golden Mean by Confucius, he added his humble thoughts of making flexible bands to handle five major areas of life, as we age: health and fitness; relationships; career and finance; personality; and spiritual evolution, ultimately leading to good deeds. He briefly quotes good research works to make the point.He ends on a light note, while reminding to stay away from the blindfolds. An NTSE Scholar and Chemical Engineer from Panjab University.
