EP 10: "It's not about managing your emotions. It is managing your reactions to your emotions" Yung Pueblo

The quote "It's not about managing your emotions. It is managing your reactions to your emotions" underscores the importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness. It emphasizes that while we cannot always control how we feel, we have the power to choose how we respond to those feelings. This perspective acknowledges the complexities of human emotions and the need to navigate them with mindfulness and maturity.
The reference to the "cockroach theory," which observes the reactions of individuals to unexpected situations, further reinforces this idea. Just as the reaction of the lady and the waiter in the restaurant to the presence of a cockroach varies, our responses to life's challenges can differ greatly. By recognizing our innate human nature and learning to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, we can cultivate greater emotional resilience and lead more fulfilling lives.
 
 
 
 
 

Ep 9: I was told I am too ambitious. And got fired. This is what I learnt from it.

"I was pulled in a meeting with the HR Director, who told me that I was being let go. And that I was too ambitious for the role. The first thing that washed over my body was a wave of relief. I didn't have to go in the next day to work on tasks that weren't inspiring me."
