Are You Sleepwalking Through Life?

How are you? It has been a while :)

I thought I would start writing new articles on a more regular basis. Starting with this one.

I was reading a book on philosophy and there is a section on Socrates (btw I am relatively new to this stuff and by no means an expert). Anyway, something I read jumped out at me:

"Most people sleepwalk through life, never asking themselves what they are doing or why they are doing it. They absorb the values and beliefs of their parents, or their culture, and accept them unquestioningly. But if they happen to absorb wrong beliefs, it will make them sick."

Over the last two years, I have been working on a new technology venture - its a fintech business that processes financial transaction in healthcare. Kinda like a PayPal for healthcare businesses. So far, things are going well. We have hired over 100 very smart people from 15 different countries and we continually challenge them to think differently. Thats how you create disruption in an industry. One of our biggest challenges is finding people who don't sleepwalk through life. So here is a tip: Don't be afraid to ask why? You might just be surprised at the answer.

And BTW:
