Untold stories about the Man Behind the Motivation, Simerjeet Singh

The Japanese Ikigai (Reason for being) exercise helped a stressed-out, burnt-out young engineer from BITS Pilani launch version 2.0 of her career as a doctor at 29 – a decision that would raise many eyebrows and a goal many would call unachievable. Aakriti Goel’s story is one of grit, vision, perseverance, refusal to accept the status quo and a call to action for everyone to pursue their dreams. In this episode of the Beginner's Mind Series host, Simerjeet Singh and Akriti decode the complex and often confusing path of changing your career and reinventing yourself professionally. This conversation will help you overcome the cultural and social barriers stopping you from making a career transition and realizing your dreams. We look forward to your active participation in this Livestream. Regards, TeamSJS Do you feel stuck with the career choices you have made in your life? Is the daily grind of professional life gradually pushing you towards dissatisfaction and burnout? If you identify with any of these questions, listen to Simerjeet Singh’s live chat with Akriti Goel in the Beginner’s Mind Series. Akriti Goel is a 2015 batch Engineering graduate from BITS Pilani who swiftly climbed the corporate ladder. She worked with the company’s CEO and supervised new initiatives, operations, content, design and company PR until, in January 2020, she had burnout and quit the job. Then, the turnaround started, and she prepared for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). She got an All India rank of 1118 and is set to pursue a career in medicine. She will be a doctor at 35 and a surgeon at 40. Simerjeet Singh and Akriti Goel share why it is essential to follow your dreams. Career transition is the most difficult choice you may have to make in your life, but you should not desist from it. Together they explore questions like “Can you restart your career?”, “Is age a barrier in a Career change?” and “Can women opt for career transition in the Indian society?”.They emphasize that there is no limit to what you can achieve if you have faith in your abilities. The conversation also bursts the myth that in the Indian situation, once a person chooses a career, he cannot make a transition. If you are passing through such a phase or believe that there is a need to reinvent yourself, the conversation with Akriti Goyal will clarify many doubts and pave the way for you to achieve your career goals.

We hope this poem inspires you to grab the opportunities that come your way and to face the daily grind of life with a smile on your face. Our next video in the Poetry That Inspires Series! Simerjeet Singh, through the soul-touching recitation, highlights the traveller’s point of view who stops by the woods on a snowy evening and muses about nature and society. The recitation will make you ponder the themes of exhaustion and optimism, fatigue and commitment, and conflict in the human mind between moments of solace, which causes distractions vs pending obligations and call of duty. Through the rendition of this inspirational poetry, Simerjeet wants to give the message that you want to pursue many things in life. Still, under the pressure of responsibilities, push yourselves in a different direction. It would be best to proudly keep all your promises with a firm belief that life has a set plan for everyone. “Woods” act as a primary symbol in the poem and represents choices in the lives of human beings. You can choose woods that highlight freedom from all constraints of society, or you can remain duty-bound to your personal and professional lives and opt to return to the mundane obligations. Simerjeet emphasizes that you may lose in the long run if you become passive and withdraw from life. He wants you to remember that even after significant setbacks, life goes on. Woods also stand for distractions that you might face while pursuing your life goals. The poem gives the invaluable message that you must fulfill your duties and not waste time on distractions. As the narrator returns to his journey, in the same way, you should involve yourself in the thick of action even if there are distractions and setbacks. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

“Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time…” These words from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s "The Psalm of Life" give me not only goosebumps but also hope and strength to bounce back from setbacks. Enjoy our next poem from the Poetry That Inspires series. Regards, Simerjeet Singh What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,— act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

Larry Harp's "Leaving The City of Regret" is a very inspirational poem that has helped many people who are struggling with regret. It is a call to action that inspires us to leave the city of regret and start over. The poem talks about how the city of regret creates dark memories, which in turn creates unhappiness. It says that when we are in the city of regret, it gives us an excuse to be unhappy and ungrateful for what we have today. With this verse, Simerjeet Singh encourages listeners not to let our past mistakes dictate our present and future happiness. Leave the city of regret and start over because anything is better than living in this dark place. It’s never too late to start over. Leaving the City of Regret by Larry Harp I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good would come of it. I’m talking about my annual “Guilt Trip.” I got tickets to fly there on Wish I Had airlines. It was an extremely short flight. I got my baggage, which I could not check. I chose to carry it myself all the way. It was weighted down with a thousand memories of what might have been. No one greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City International Airport. I say international because people from all over the world come to this dismal town. As I checked into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed that they would be hosting the year’s most important event, the Annual Pity Party. I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion. Many of the towns leading citizens would be there. First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then came the I Had family. You probably know ol’ Wish and his clan. Of course, the Opportunities would be present, Missed and Lost. The biggest family would be the Yesterday’s. There are far too many of them to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share. Then Shattered Dreams would surely make and appearance. And It’s Their Fault would regale us with stories (excuses) about how things had failed in his life, and each story would be loudly applauded by Don’t Blame Me and I Couldn’t Help It. Well, to make a long story short, I went to this depressing party knowing that there would be no real benefit in doing so. And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and subsequent “pity party” could be canceled by ME! I started to truly realize that I did not have to be there. I didn’t have to be depressed. One thing kept going through my mind, I CAN’T CHANGE YESTERDAY, BUT I DO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY. I can be happy, joyous, fulfilled, encouraged, as well as encouraging. Knowing this, I left the City of Regret immediately and left no forwarding address. Am I sorry for mistakes I’ve made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them. So, if you’re planning a trip back to the City of Regret, please cancel all your reservations now. Instead, take a trip to a place called, Starting Again. I liked it so much that I have now taken up permanent residence there. My neighbors, the I Forgive Myselfs and the New Starts are so very helpful. By the way, you don’t have to carry around heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders upon arrival. God bless you in finding this great town. If you can find it — it’s in your own heart — please look me up. I live on I Can Do It Street.
