I  know The Minions is supposed to be a children’s movie, all about fun and laughter, and I am not to read too much into it or between the lines. But, when I was watching the movie I realised it offered, surprisingly, some deep lessons in leadership and entrepreneurship. So, if you have not watched the movie yet and plan to, then stop reading right now for there are SPOILERS AHEAD. Take Risks:  Kevin, Stuart and Bob need not have made that perilous journey out of the cold, snow-covered cave the Minions had made their home. They could have wallowed in collective misery. But they did not give up and so found the ‘boss’ they wanted so desperately. A number of startups/companies flounder because the founder/leader is scared to try something new.

When I was a child, my grandma used to pester me to read the Bhagavad Gita after school. I hated it and thought the old lady had nothing better to do in life. But now when I look back, I realize that she made a lot of sense. We live in times where spirituality is confused with religion, is mocked upon by most and is often termed 'futile' with remarks like,  "It's so boring!", "Who has the time for all this?"   and what not!  I thought the same until I read these. It's not about religion and it's definitely not about renouncing from life into some other dimension. It's much more and it will fit in your everyday life effortlessly.

What you look like at your worst Hair in disarray, oiled hair, and no make-up. They’ve seen it all. 4. What your actual opinions are on everything And not the diplomatic bullshit you tell the others.
