Looking back at these childhood photos, I’m reminded of how different hobbies, sports and reading, both played a key role in shaping who I am today.
On one hand, my love for books taught me the value of:
I’d spend hours in my little library, diving into new ideas, stories, and perspectives. This habit of continuous learning is something I still carry into my professional life, constantly reading, researching, and staying curious about the world around me.
On the other hand, my passion for sports instilled in me:
Each trophy I won represents countless hours of practice, falls & bruises and collaborating with teammates toward a common goal. That gave birth to the qualities of discipline, adaptability, and collaboration which reflected in my workplace.

1 个月Great insights, Ruheena Kabir! It’s fascinating how childhood passions often shape our career paths in ways we might not even realize. I believe tapping into those early interests can also help us maintain authenticity and drive as we progress professionally. I’d love to hear more about how others have integrated their childhood hobbies into their career... whether directly or in more unexpected ways. How do you think we can better reconnect with these passions to stand out in today’s competitive market?
