I came across this TEDx Talk accidentally but I am a person who believes that nothing is by accident or luck. While watching it, I realized that it is exactly what I needed to hear at that moment.

Key Points From Zain's Talk:

· Trust your struggle

No matter the hardships that you're going through in life, have faith that it is for the greater good.

· "I don't believe in competition"

"I don't believe in competing for what I want but rather creating it."

· Give!

The more you give, the more you will receive.

· Success comes when opportunity meets preparation.

When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty.” In the words of Madame Bollinger, champagne does not need an occasion and I believe it to be true. Once you fall in love with it, you will not be a fan of anything else…unless you are me; I love a good glass of Pinot Noir too. The aspect that makes luxury brands stand out are the stories behind the brands. Story-telling is a major component of brand building when it comes to luxury brands; it is no longer about convincing a consumer to make the purchase but to rather be a part of the story.

Below is a list of young movers and shakers who excite and inspire me (in no particular order). I follow some of them on social media and know some of them personally. All of them are definitely putting our country on the world map and it’s heartwarming to follow their stories and successes. Representation matters. Seeing young people self-actualize inspires other young people to do the same. After all... “we are the ones...
