Change your thoughts and you’ll change your world

I came across this sign in a quaint little cafe while on holiday.

In fact, quite a few people in the cafe noticed the sign and stopped to take a picture.

It’s a quote that triggers thoughts and ideas buried deep in your soul.

It reminded me of a time about seven months into my first job.

I was organising a 24-hour Hackathon.

I was nervous as hell — I had never organised an event before, nor knew anything about the technicalities required for a Hackathon.

I was doing everything by myself and was not confident of success at all, especially when we met with many technical and manpower issues.

I brought these issues to my boss, and she told me, “I hired you because I saw you as the type of person who could find a solution when most people would agree there wasn’t one.”

Some people may have balked at that. Instead, it completely changed my thoughts about myself.

Within 24-hours, I had thought of creative solutions for all the challenges I was facing, and took them to the client, who accepted my ideas wholesale.

And we ended up having an awesome 24-hour Hackathon where I made friends I stay in touch with till this day.
