Suddenly, one day you ask yourself!

Suddenly, one day you ask yourself: "What is this adding to my value as a person and as a professional?" If you ask this question consistently and the answer to this question is "Nothing" consistently, then its time to sit down and review.

I found myself asking this question consistently during the IPL (even though I saw it almost in full). The answer to the question was also almost "Nothing" always.

Okie, Lalit Modi achieved one of his dreams through IPL. Yes, Preity learned how to do business. Yes, Shahrukh films might just sell a little more in Bengal now. How does all this help you as an individual?

Who will watch the matches then if everyone follows this line of thought? To start only, only a few will even think about this. Even less would actually try to do anything about it and only some would actually do something. Those some would probably add some value to themselves as a person in most of the things they do.
