But don’t forget to appreciate where you are — When I was in the last year of my university, I couldn’t wait to finish up. I was sick of travelling to the campus every day, only for lectures to get cancelled. Sure, I enjoyed hanging out with my friends but I wanted to work, I wanted to earn. …

My success mantra for every goal I set — I learned the importance of discipline when I set out to lose 20 kgs. I had tried to lose weight countless times before.

And I’m not guilty — I’m a full-blown Type A personality. I need to work constantly. While others dread Sunday evenings because they have to get back to work the next day, I dread Sundays because I’m already feeling guilty for taking two complete days off. It’s a disease. But I’m working on it. Chris…
