Chetan Bhagat has called himself a Authorpeneur. His two goals that he has are to
- reach maximum Indians via entertainment
- Influence them towards progressive society
From what I got out of the talk Chetan Bhagat associates his work with successful and winners. He believes that there are two types of winners – winners who do it better and winners who change the game. He used one of Charles Darwin’s quotes as one of his favourite ” It is not the strongest of species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the most adaptive. To me this conveys his belief towards adaptivity and being flexible. I really like how he is so down to earth and genuine even though he is a famous author and director, it goes to show that he is doing it for more than just the fame but instead to share his life stories and messages.
He then later on went on about short term goals – ‘Short effort goals’ and long term goals – ‘long effort goals’ and how they can guide you to success. Some of the key types of success that he mentioned were happiness, fulfil and many more. The thing that i found the most inspirational from his talk was the 6 stages that he made in order to achieve big things, they were.
- Set a clear goal
- reasons behind the goal
- Finding the group
- detailed action plan
- setback dealing mehanism
- Faith
Overall I felt very inspired by him and what he has accomplished so far, he is a man that believes i dreams and fulfilling needs. I really enjoyed the fact that all of his books and movies are based on life events and struggles that every human being goes through. One of the main impressions that I got of him is that he is a guy that applies himself and sets examples, an example of this would be his into/ start where he made the effort to be funny in order to get our attention, then later he explained the theory behind that. He closed with a quote that left a very impactful impression ” be so busy improving yourself that you have no time left to criticise others”, This quote really connected all of his ideas about being winners and being successful.
