on february 20th, 2014 i hosted another guest lecture at pace university. a place that holds a very special place in my heart.
in 2008, i served as a keynote speaker at the 5th annual pace university pitch contest.
in 2009, i served as their entrepreneur in residence.
in 2010, i officially started the gurbaksh chahal entrepreneurial endowed scholarship at pace university.
and in april 2010, to my surprise i received the leaders in management award from pace lubin school of business and an honorary doctorate degree in commercial science.
and throughout those years, i’ve always loved to be a surprise guest lecturer at pace university.
during my lecture this time, i highlighted two areas first: understanding rejection & happiness. i believe once your willing to accept rejection in your life – you understand all elements of fear. and that eventually drives you, toward your path to success. my second focus was to share my rules for happiness. since, ultimately – that’s what life is about.
so, outside of writing my book, the dream, my favorite piece of writing was a blog post i wrote in november last year called: the happiness startup: rules to live by. i tried to re-read this post at least once a week as it humbles me toward even my goals in life today.
this was followed up by an hour of q&a with the audience. you can see the entire youtube video here.
i hope it inspires you all to reach your dreams.
