How do you handle yourself when making decisions? Are you able to solve problems?

I follow an analytical approach based on the following steps:

• Understanding the subject.
• Considering potential outcomes.
• Seeking expert advice.
• Trusting my intuition.
• Assessing risks and benefits.
• Implementing a structured plan.

When making any decision, I first understand the context or subject on which the decision has to be made. This involves gathering information about the background of the issue to be decided. I then explore all possible outcomes and critically analyze each one from various angles according to the situation's demands.

I also consult my friends, family members, colleagues, or subject matter experts. I am not ashamed to seek advice to make the right decision. Every decision we make impacts multiple individuals, so it must be well thought out and sound from every perspective.

I analyze the risks and benefits of each possible outcome to reach a final conclusion, and then I reassess the final decision. It's important that the benefits of the final decision outweigh the risks, ensuring it is viable and effective.

The final step is the implementation of the decision, which must be well-structured. By structured implementation, I mean a multi-step process that must be sequentially adopted. Such structured implementation is essential for smooth adoption.

I am satisfied that I have been able to solve problems that come my way in the best possible manner. Through sequential decision-making, I often choose the best possible solutions that have high adoption rates and are frictionless.

Intelligent people know how to align their abilities with their possibilities. Do you think that is the secret to success from your perspective?

I believe that undoubtedly aligning abilities with possibilities is one of the key factors contributing to success, though it is not the only factor.

Alignment of abilities refers to understanding one's potential and matching it with available opportunities. Self-awareness is crucial for understanding abilities and weaknesses, which involves introspection. Additionally, feedback from loyal friends, colleagues, and well-wishers can help identify one's abilities. Once identified, one must find the best opportunities to utilize these abilities to achieve success.

Creativity is often associated with the artistic, but it goes beyond that. How creative are you? Do you find it difficult to conceive ideas?

Creativity is the ability to think outside the box and read between the lines. It undoubtedly transcends beyond the artistic realm and includes all walks of life. I cannot judge myself strictly on the scale of creativity. In some aspects, I consider myself highly creative, while in others, I may fall within normal limits or even below average. However, I am satisfied with my creativity, especially in decision-making.

I follow a multifaceted approach to problem-solving and decision-making. Firstly, I approach any problem with an open mind, allowing for a diverse range of ideas, exploration, and experimentation. I weigh the risks and benefits of each idea and then narrow down my choices to reach a final conclusion.

Conceiving ideas with creativity involves research, an open and receptive heart and mind, and a neutral approach free of bias. I approach each problem with a fresh perspective, free of preconceived notions, ensuring every possible solution is considered.

Collaboration with family, friends, or subject matter experts helps foster my creativity. This approach accumulates diverse viewpoints, some of which may be brainstorming but not wild or outlandish. With a data-driven base, creativity is bound to flourish.

Are you able to work and have people around you who are smarter than you? What advantages are there in that?

I believe that life is meant to be a continuous learning journey. Nobody is perfect, and therefore, one must always strive for improvement. I enjoy working with people who are smarter than me as I find such an environment more conducive to growth. Undoubtedly, this work culture has some challenges, but they are mostly positive.

An environment with smarter individuals has tremendous growth potential. It is more beneficial to work with such people than those who are less smart. Smartness is not an inherited trait but an acquired one through hard work and perseverance. Therefore, such an environment can help inculcate habits like hard work, perseverance, and dedication.

Smart colleagues can help leverage their experience, adopt new skills, and learn from their mistakes, making the environment highly conducive to growth. This can lead to tremendous grooming of skills and professional growth with less effort.

Such an environment can encourage critical thinking and innovation. Experienced individuals have acquired innovation and creativity through years of experimentation and learning from mistakes.

How easily do you adapt to new changes in any aspect or area of your life? Does it usually overwhelm you or the opposite?

Change is the law of nature, and I approach change in life with a positive mindset and a multifaceted approach. Some changes may be overwhelming or invigorating, while others may be the opposite. As I introspect, I find that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question for me.

Changes that promote positive growth are easily adopted as I approach them with curiosity and the hope of exploring new potentials.

When changes are inevitable and unavoidable, I adopt them without getting stressed by resorting to stress-relief activities like interaction with family and friends, meditation, and yoga. I also interact with people who have already gone through similar changes to learn from their experiences and adopt the change with ease. Support systems are invaluable during times of change in any aspect of life.
