If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

UNICEF originally the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, it is an agency responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.

UNICEF engages in fighting for the rights of children all over the world.

It also works to provide safe shelter, healthcare, nutrition, education, equality and protection from disaster and conflicts.

Other areas the UNICEF works are providing vaccines, safe water and sanitation, HIV prevention in mothers and babies, protecting children from violence and abuse, early childhood development, adolescent health, etc.

It also works in regions embroiled in humanitarian crises, to give relief and rehabilitation.

Today, UNICEF works in more than 190 nations, in collaboration with other UN partners, and as a part of the larger UN system. It is not a specialised agency of the UN.

UNICEF also comes up with research reports on various aspects related to children all around the globe.

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

Don’t go back in that town
Where you spend your childhood
In that old structured house
where you live at rent
It wasn’t same as earlier
Whole atmosphere got changed
Someone else start living there
You stand alone looking
like an idiot
Now no one will recognise you.

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

Ambitions of life is all about your career, business, improve your relationships, or enhance your personal well-being etc.

Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make it easy.

Sometimes we struggle to set goal and unsure about the things how to start and make our ambitions a reality. Circumstances may cause interruption and delays.

We all live in a society and with their rules. Hardest situations in achieving a goal force you to cross your limits. In this situation not the courage but discipline is needed to do so.

Because money should not cost us our soul, relationships, dignity, health, intelligence and joy in simple things of life. When people stands with the values of life then it have a strongest sence of financial and personal well-being.

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

Many times I feel so, I thing it’s all about human behaviour, when we face some strange behaviour of people in some new palaces, situation and conditions we feel so.

It’s a weird feeling sometimes when people who are very closed to us behave unusual. That’s the time when I feel out of the place. It’s a deep negative feeling sometimes that the cause of depression.

I wrote a letter to my ex girlfriend, the letter is about the situation that time me and my family is facing. She call me back and fired on me to another issue. That time in my city, at mine one of the favourite place I feel like I am never the part of this universe. It’s a kind of most bizzare feelings I have ever experienced.

What skill would you like to learn?

Now in this stage of life I like to improve my skills which already I have instead of adding another skill in my personality. Because in this state I can’t do experiment with so many things. But it doesn’t mean I stop learning things.

If you really want to be a skilled person you have to improve ability of learning. Learning is the key by which you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.

Happiness is a skill, emotional balance is a skill, compassion and altruism are skills, and like any skill they need to be learned more and developed. So many things around us in which we want improvement and learning is the key.

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” – Aldous Huxley

My priority to see better version of myself. Change is the law of life so I want see more positive changes in myself like more humble, kind, respectful, confident, strong, determinant, do thing unnecessary for better of others etc.

Books impart much information we generally would not find in your daily routine. There are dedicated self-help books that can guide us through the real experiences of some of the most successful people today. So books are key to prioritise your dreams.

Experiences of life can expose me to new people, places, and ideas, which can challenge mine perspective and help me to see the world from a new point of view. It will also help to become better version of myself.

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Every student has a different idea of a dream job, final-year students consider a plethora of factors such as quick growth, client exposure, work-life balance, good pay, sectoral preferences.

But above all, I want a leadership-oriented role where they can take ownership with strategic importance. Unfortunately I didn’t get such kind of job that time.

Earlier I tried many job but get satisfaction, where I do some innovative kind of things. And you don’t have such kind of freedom to do that. Only you have perform according to the companies guidelines.

After so much of struggle, experience, learning and observations, currently I am doing my dream job as a civil contractor. Now my company is part of growth in infrastructure of the modern India. Also fulfilling my passion with writings.

Other dream job are like serving people in some way, some where. It’s may be a social work or a social reform, social justice, awareness programs etc.
