Childhood Tales on Living and Loving
Hi There,
Welcome to the November edition of Contently Yours. This edition is extra special for this month we take a trip into the fun-filled days of childhood.
After all, November is children's month. Both national and world children's day is celebrated this month. You might wonder, why in the middle of a tanking global economy, continuing war, and soaring inflation, we should spend time reminiscing our childhood.
Well, it is in these turbulent moments, that we need some grounding the most. And just like the roots of a tree, we are deeply rooted in our childhood experiences.
As I traversed back to my younger days, I uncovered a fantastic secret; we always remain a child at heart; curious, fun-loving, passionate and full of joy.
The We-Storytellers' team gathered over virtual chai to hang out and swap childhood tales. Aptly titled 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji', the video chat re-lived what it's like to be a kid again - from secretly reading stories to stealthily gorging on sweet delicacies to playing until late hours.
The conversations also brought out the power of childhood experiences; how they mould you into the professional and person you are today. So many So many of our teammates are a reflection of their earlier self.
It is not surprising. Or is it?
So, join us and rediscover your childhood; ponder how it made you the unique individual you are and set the direction of your life.
Prominent leaders and well-known personalities often get their start early in life. Ever wondered what set off Usain Bolt, Sachin Tendulkar, Elon Musk, and other leaders on their journey to greatness? Then give our blog 'Fuelling Adulthood Rediscovery with Childlike Attitude 'a read.
As you wind your way through the Newsletter, you may realize that adults have much to learn from children. Our blog 'Children Make the Best Marketers' explores one facet of this. Born as natural storytellers, children may be small in age and size, but they're big in persuasion. So next time a child speaks, listen carefully, and observe how they quickly become the centre of attention among a group of adults, or you can read our blog. It's faster.
That's all for now.
See you next time, when we'll bring you more new and inspiring stories.
