Theme: Beyond The Stars

Humankind has always been goal-oriented. Our actions, thoughts and ideologies are nothing but an investment to fulfil our goals. The student wants a perfect score, the employee is working hard for a promotion and many more grind aimlessly for the crumb.
We are often biased between the idea of realistic goals and the ‘impossible’ goals. They say “Shoot for the moon and you will land among the stars" but are you satisfied there, among the stars?
Here is a secret: Your potential and your dedication to attain the goal is way beyond the stars.
We, as humans, tend to grow each and every day and become a newer version of ourselves and with that, the purpose of our actions have become more specific.
The question is, are you ready to go beyond the stars?
