  Learn, Unlearn, Relearn: The Essential Skill of the 21st Century Alvin Toffler once said: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” These words have only grown more powerful with time. As evolving beings, we change and adapt to the world around us—and at the heart of that evolution lies learning. Learning: The Daily Fuel for the Mind Learning is rarely easy. Whether in childhood or adulthood, it demands effort, time, and discipline. In the past, those who had access to information were considered knowledgeable and valuable. But today, information is everywhere—and much of it is free. The only price we pay is our attention. If food fuels the body, learning fuels the mind. And just as we eat every day, we should learn every day. Ask yourself: What did I learn yesterday? If the answer leaves you feeling empty, pull out your phone and learn one small thing that adds value to your li...

  Every Day Is a Learning Day – So Why Dedicate One Just to Learning in Sales? -Part-2 How do you run an effective learning day in sales? Interest vs. Commitment: The Key to Real Growth There’s a big difference between being interested and being committed. People who are interested in fitness go to the gym when it suits them—randomly, whenever they feel like it. But those who are truly committed show up at the same time, on the same days, following a routine they’ve set for themselves. And in the end, it’s the committed ones who reap the real rewards. Now, let’s take that same idea and apply it to learning within your sales team. Make Learning Non-Negotiable: Pick a specific day, time, and date—and commit to it. That’s how you ensure every salesperson joins in for a learning session. Even those working remotely can join via video call. If the organisation doesn’t commit to a fixed learning day, then learning becomes optional. And when learning is optional, growth gets d...

  Ruling Party" Is Absurd: In a Democracy, They Should Serve, Not Rule In a democratic country, there are two key political terminologies: the ruling party and the opposition party. First and foremost, a democracy is founded on the basic principle quoted by Abraham Lincoln in his 1863 Gettysburg Address: "Government of the people, by the people, for the people." This means that the government derives its power from citizens, is run by their elected representatives, and operates to serve the public interest. If it is the people who elect the government, how can the terms "ruling party" and "opposition party" be justified? Neither the elected party is a master, nor are the citizens slaves to be ruled. The term "ruling party" feels undemocratic and absurd. Is there an alternative? We might think of "leading party"—the party that leads the people. But for that, we would need true leaders. Unfortunately, in India, we don’t have such...

  Every Day Is a Learning Day – So Why Dedicate One Just to Learning in Sales? (Part 1) We often say, "Every day is a learning day." So why set aside a special day for learning in sales? The answer is simple: sales are dynamic. Every day brings new situations, fresh challenges, and unexpected turns. And the best way to navigate these? By coming together to share our experiences. When we dedicate one day to intentional learning, we give ourselves the space to reflect. Some experiences will be successes. Others will be failures—or even mistakes. That’s okay. When we bring our real cases to the table, we learn not just from our own journey, but from each other’s. Let’s not forget: Learning is the mother that gives birth to earning, and earning isn’t just about money. It includes knowledge, skills, and respect, too. So, how do you run an effective learning day in sales? Stay tuned for Part 2 M.L. Narendra Kumar
