Success Redefined- You End Where You Begin!

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #008

_a weekly WA Series_

If I ask “What is Success, for you?”

You will probably pause, scratch your head and utter something aspirational. However let me tell you, this was not the same couple of years back. And never going to hold the same after couple of years. Let’s park this aside…

Do you know when you are 1 year  old your success is simply to stand on your feet, when you were 4 years old success is managing not to wet your your pants whereas, when you are 8 years old success is knowing the way back home.

Similarly at the age of,

10 years- Know how to ride a bicycle

21 years become a gradate

30 years get married

35 years become a family person

45 years to earn decent money, yet look young

60 years live healthy and illness-free life

75 years to have an old friend to share old stories and achievements

Now life take a U turn, when you are 80 years old, success is to know the way back home, when you are 85 success is managing not to wet your pants whereas, when you are 91 success is to stand on your feet.

Definition of success changes at every stage of life and you reach where you started. It called Chakra (kind of a circle). It ends where it begins from, to complete itself.

You are Fantastic, Unimaginable creature with full of potential at every age and stage. Cheers!

Cold Truth, Warm Reality- The Bread and Butter Story

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #007

_a weekly WA Series_

We have often seen infinite stories of bread and butter. However, today let’s see how we can relate this deeply to each one of us. In everyday life you are the bread and the butter on the top represents your environment. Now environment can be defined as climate, people with whom you deal, place where you live- (Workplace, College, Commuters), physical things around you and many more which influence you daily.

Here, core focus is on your attitude towards your surroundings. If you are cold, surrounding is unlikely to support your growth and potential to be a superlative. However, when you bring warmth—positivity, openness, and energy—you can draw the best from your surroundings and move closer to becoming the best version of yourself.

Let’s not forget. Too much intensity can overwhelm the situation. Strive for warmth, not heat—enough to make things better, not to burn them.

The Decoy Pricing

 *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #006

_a weekly WA Series_

Let’s study and analyze closely how decoy pricing operates through this case study:

Steve is a retired Navy Officer. He has a stall, where he sells watermelon juice at Miami beach, Florida. He offers 3 sizes of juice Glasses. Price of each, unit is as per below:

Small- 100 ml- $ 2.5

Medium- 200 ml- $ 6.5

Large- 400 ml- $ 7.5

It was seen that the sale of the large cup was high followed by the small cup and there were very few customers who used to opt for the medium one. Steve thought, that there is no use of offering a medium glass as no one is willing to buy. He removed it kept only 2 options- Small- 100 ml- $ 2.5 and Large- 400 ml- $ 7.5

Guess what? nobody purchased a large glass. There was a remarkable shift to the purchase of small glass of juice.

Let’s take a deep dive, what did Steve learn in this product listings. When he started selling Small glass of juice 100 ml for $ 2.5 & Large- 400 ml for $ 7.5 his customers thought that the large one is way too high priced, so they only purchased the small one.

However, in the previous case when Steve was offering 3 options- Small 100 ml for $ 2.5, Medium 200 ml for $ 6.5 and Large 400 ml for $ 7.5, customers thought why to buying Medium 200 ml for $ 6.5, if we are getting 400 ml (Double) just by paying $ 1.5 more. Thus, they opted for the Large one because price seems to be cheaper with double quantity as compared to medium one.

Steve listed the medium glass again in the category, because medium glass helps customers to take decision of buying the large one that's the only role of the medium size of watermelon juice.

Note- In an open market usually we see that the large size products are listed at way higher and offered discount which is almost slightly high than the mid one offered to the customers. This directs customers to buy the top notch or the premium one and companies with the luxury brands also follow the same pattern to drive their revenue.

Moral: Decoy priced product looks justified as compared to other listed products.

Meeting Capt. Raghu Raman

Today, I had the good fortune to meet Capt. Raghu Raman, a leader whose journey spans the Indian Armed Forces, corporate sector, and government and inspires me greatly.

Over a 1-hour long conversation, he revealed much about his experiences with such refreshing honesty and effortless storytelling. Be it issues of defence, strategy, and national or regional growth, he had so many fascinating insights to share, and I came away hugely inspired.

They say never meet your heroes, but I can certainly say it wasn’t true in my case, It was lovely interacting with Capt. Raghu Raman, and look forward to more such thrilling meets.

Comma was invented in 15th century in Greece. As you know, it is commonly used to separate the elements, words and phrases in texts.

Let’s study how risky things can get without using commas.

-Let’s eat Grandpa.

-Let’s eat, Gandpa.
