Leaving Footprints: A CEO's Journey in the World of Entrepreneurship

 


“You have got one lifetime to create & leave your footprints behind. You can either aspire, assess, act & impact to become an asset OR conspire, dissect, divide & destroy to become a liability to mankind. The choice is completely yours and what you think or ask for is what you will get. Be mindful of your thoughts & actions.” - Kay S

 

If you all do not already know me, I am the Founder and CEO of my exciting new venture in the world of entrepreneurship for the sixth time, K&S International FZCO. As I embark on this incredible journey, I'm reminded of a profound mantra that has guided me throughout my life: "You are born by chance & defined by your choices!"
 
Today, I want to share my personal thoughts and insights on how this mantra has shaped not only my entrepreneurial path but also my approach to life itself. Join me as we explore the power of aspiration, assessment, action, and impact in building a legacy that not only serves as a testament to our choices but also leaves a positive mark on the world.
 
Aspiration: Dreaming Big
 
From a young age, I've always believed in the power of dreaming big. It was my aspiration to make a significant impact on the world that ignited the spark for my venture. I often think back to my childhood, where the world was full of endless possibilities. Those memories became my aspiration, my north star, guiding me towards creating something special.
 
Assessment: Understanding the Landscape
 
Before diving headfirst into the entrepreneurial world, I knew I needed to assess the landscape. Market research, competitor analysis, and understanding trends were crucial aspects of this phase. It's like the critical examination of ingredients before embarking on a creative endeavor. Through thorough assessment, I gained valuable insights that helped me refine my path.
 
Action: Turning Dreams into Reality
 
Action is the bridge that connects aspiration to achievement. Armed with a clear vision and a well-researched plan, I took the leap. Setting up my first venture was a defining moment. The hustle, the late nights, and the unwavering dedication of my team were all part of this action phase. It's akin to preparing a complex masterpiece, where each stroke of the brush is added with precision and care.
 
Impact: Leaving Footprints
 
Now, as my venture gains momentum, I see the impact we're making. Beyond just achieving success, we're creating a space where people can experience positivity and progress. The footprints I aim to leave behind are not just financial, but cultural and social as well. It's about making a positive contribution to the community and society as a whole.
 
Inspiration: My elixir of life:
 
In the world of entrepreneurship and life, the choices we make can either lead to becoming an asset or a liability to mankind. The path of aspiration, assessment, action, and impact is one that I've chosen consciously. It's not always easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. As I continue this journey, I hope to inspire others to dream big, assess carefully, take bold actions, and leave meaningful footprints behind.
 
Remember, what you think and ask for is what you will get. Mindfulness in our thoughts and actions can shape a world filled with positive impacts and lasting legacies. In our one lifetime, the choices we make hold the key to the mark we leave on this world. May you all endeavour to make the right ones!

A TRIBUTE TO A LEGEND, GIRISH KARNAD BY KAY S

GIRISH KARNAD - A JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL Inspired from an obituary & narration by Professor Ramesh Dutt “People do not decide to become extraordinary.  They decide to accomplish extraordinary things!” - Sir Edmund Hillary Life is full of mysteries and surprises and I believe that each one of us is born in a unique manner to unravel our own mysteries to carve a niche for ourselves in this world.  Some of us decide to do great things, think out of the box, be different, and create revolutions to achieve greatness and some of us live abysmally cribbing, complaining, and thinking negatively throughout our lives passing away one fine day.  Girish Karnad was the former, a visionary, a thinker, a rebel who decided to achieve greatness in a way that he found befitting.  He found his niche and he bulldozed his way through life doing everything he possibly could in a manner befitting his personality, which undoubtedly was greatness personified....

Of Chances & Choices by Kay S

"In chasing Money & Fame, we lose Time.... In making up for Time, we lose important Relationships, In losing Relationships, we lose strength, peace of Mind & Trust, In losing Strength, Trust, and Peace of Mind, we lose our Health In losing our Health, we lose everything we have & end up Lonely!" - Kay S  As I passed through life in installments, sometimes happily, sometimes melancholically, at times brave and at times frail and afraid, I learnt some very important lessons on the important pivots that define Life, the essence of it, and the lack of the same. During my sojourn, I was exposed to a lot of learning and readings by established poets, writers, philosophers and scholars.  One of things I happened to read that impacted me a few years ago was a couplet in Urdu that read, " Masroof rehne ki aadat kaheen tumhe tanha na kardein, Rishte ehmiyat ke mautaaj hote hain fursat ke nahin!"  which translates to, "Let not the habit of staying busy end up ...

Introspection & Rumination - A Theatre Review by Kay S

  A Theatre Review – Jiss Ne Lahore Nai Dekhiya by Kay S “Let the borders be outside, not inside.” Abhijit Naskar, Author The remnants of humanity and human relationships live on to raise its ugly hood, resonating, and at times transporting us through books, plays, or a movie into a zone of eternal bliss where there is camaraderie, brotherhood and unity that still exists. We as human beings are a flawed race to be frank, and the sooner we accept this fact, the better off we will be and endeavor to at least attain a semblance of being a better version of ourselves.  This thought seemed to echo in my mind, heart, and soul at the highest decibel it ever could as I watched the play, “Jiss Ne Lahore Nai Dekhiya” written by playwright Asghar Wajahat, directed by Zafer Mohiuddin of Kathputliyaan Theatre Group.  I have been so touched deep in my soul by the storyline, the underlying message.  The impeccable performances of the actors who were par excellence carry...
