What if you were asked the question, what are the three things that matter the most to you? Here’s the catch though, you can’t name any individuals and of course nothing materialistic. That makes it even harder question since you really have to think at a deeper level. I was asked this today during an interview. At first, I would have said family – but since I couldn’t use individuals I took about a full minute to think about this. So, I came up with the following:
- Health
- Friendship
- Faith
This is actually a healthy exercise I think for everyone. No matter what position you’re in – it defines your character. Think about it – and see what you come up with.

I think Friendship, the social aspect is very important. You really need it.
And Faith is something that if I lacked, I would not be where I am today.

I’m very impressed with your bio and how you started everything at a young age. I have questions that I’m trying to find the answer to. Maybe contact me on Facebook?

interesting post, and your bio is obviously nothing less than impressive.
That’s a really hard question you were asked there, i would most probably put happiness at the top of the list, rather than health.

This is definitely a very introspective topic especially when you have to restrict yourself from the more common responses. I would have named family as well since they are a driving force in my everyday life. I came up with these 3 answers.
1. Happiness
2. Relationships
3. Morals
Number 2 was a slightly hard choice, but I mean it in a broad sense. Not in terms of use when speaking about a significant other. But in terms of friends, family, strangers you run into, acquaintances. In all aspects they play in our lives they help with the development of yourself as a person. Be it a best friend or someone who is showing extreme kindness to you just because and no other reason. Even if it is a gas station employee or the person serving you coffee they play a role in your life
Number 3 was a tough choice as well as I would have normally gone with faith as well due to my religious background, but I think a good set of morals would help the person develop a certain level of faith. Be it religious or faith in ones self as well.

Gurbaksh, this might be a bit personal but I was wondering what faith do you currently follow? I know you might have been suggesting a different form of ‘faith’, but I was curious as to wether you still follow your sikh faith.
