Author Bio(s)

Born in India, Pratik Patel is pursuing an M.B.A. at NSU. He believes that his father’s intellectual strength, combined with his mother’s emotional sensitivity as a homemaker, made his home environment rooted in traditional culture but fast-paced and ambitious. Patel’s parents provided academic and professional mentorship as well as personal nourishment. This motivated him to participate in public speaking, debates, group discussions, and competitions, for which he has earned 85 awards and certificates. He earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering then joined his father’s business venture as a business development manager. As the young face of the company, Patel faced strategic hurdles in convincing doctors to trust a new product. But, the majority of the pharmaceutical and biotech companies and hospitals in his state have since implemented this product. Patel strongly believes that an individual’s perspective and attitude toward any situation define the journey toward destiny.

Talk Description

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. But fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts we create. Moreover, when we fear failure, deep inside we know the reason behind our fear, and we avoid confrontation by diverting our thoughts. Fear of failure can actually be the best thing one can experience because it often points us to the areas we need to investigate more closely. Fear itself isn’t the problem; our reaction to our own fears is the issue. In making fear of failure an adversary, we miss the challenge of deciphering the message being sent to us. When we choose to make fear an ally, it can become useful in many ways. This talk encourages us to embrace a different perspective on fear because only by controlling emotion and letting go of negativity can one discover wisdom.
