Speaking on the occasion, writer Prashant said, “Gratitude is an important skill and it can helpful in life if the skill is practiced well. He said, the fastest way to get anything done is through infinite patience. I used to have serious bouts of anger, but I used to control them through patience, by having screen savers on patience. This time gap gives way to think rationally for a solution. Now I am not easily triggered by anger.”
Nithya Shanti said gratitude triggers the positivity in you and helps you to get out of the vicious cycle of negativity that surrounds us.Prashant Jain - a parallel Entrepreneur, Speaker, Author and Gratitude coach; went from selling his company for a million USD to Softbank and JP Morgan when 25, to witnessing the tumble of the stock market crash, the dotcom bust and the 9/11 aftermath to being clinically diagnosed as depressed and attempting suicide twice facing adversity and challenges in health, relationships and finances. Today he is back to running successful companies with turnover in millions, physical, emotional, mental wellbeing and a fulfilled Joyful Life.
