I Like To See Myself As A Humble Servant: Robin Sharma

BW Businessworld held an exclusive dialogue, BW Dialogue, with the best-selling author & legendary leadership expert, Robin Sharma, in the national capital today. Starting the conversation, Dr. Annurag Batra, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief, BW Businessworld, asked Robin Sharma about his journey of being an author.

Robin expressed that his parents are the great influencer and the sole titan of his life. He also said that real success is contemplating what real success is for oneself and having the courage to live. Reading inspired Robin to write and he self-published his first book in a coffee shop.

"I grew up in a family where we had stacks of books everywhere (in our home). A home that has stacks of books is a beautiful home to live in. I started reading these books, Gandhi’s autobiography, books of philosophy, psychology, business builders and I started calibrating. And it really changed the way I was living," he said.

Further, Dr. Batra asks Robin Sharma the inspiration behind his characters of the books to which he pointed out that people today are distracted a lot with the technology which makes them less creative.

“I think I’m a creative person and everyone in this room is a creative person. When we were little kids we were intimate with our creativity," he said.

He added, “(It is) powerful to give yourself an hour at the beginning of the day, while the rest of the world is asleep, in this age of dramatic distraction to think, to read, to write in a journal and praying amenity. So I'm creating, I just make the time away from digital distraction so I can get my best ideas.”
