Capital punishment

I fail to understand the fuss about the capital word.  I can believe it to make an Earth shattering difference in school but do professionals need to read the rightly capitalised words to get the Context right. I mean did you notice the capital E in earth and capital C in context in my last sentence.  You got the context, all right.

I just saw the tag line of L&T with a 'I can't say wrong' capital letter I in 'its about Imagineering' and started wondering why the capital I. Maybe they want to highlight the new word or just cause they Wanted to.

Lord,  save me from losing sanity over capitalisation and rather be more creatively focused.

Why?

So I can't be more convinced with Simon Sinek's 'why' theory.  It is amazing to see people who are brilliant at execution to be unsure about the reason for the execution. There seems to be a fear of looking for the why.

In fact, I feel asking yourself 'why' can really help you understand why are you doing what you are doing,  make a headway to what you ultimately want to do and get a closer look at your motivators. 

Questions that make you seek 'why' challenge your comfort zone, which is why most of us refrain from it. So if I were to ask you what's your job or how do you go about doing what you do, you probably have the best explanation. But if I were to ask you why do you do what you do, you probably will falter and give vague responses like for money or to keep yourself busy.

Think about why. Answer the why for a purpose in everyday chores and long term objectives.
