Shrenik Shah: I chose to be water, not alcohol

Shrenik Shah, Patient Ambassador and Moderator of Fridays with Shrenik Live webinar at the Indian Cancer Society, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I chose to be water. Not alcohol.
Because water adapts. It nourishes. And it’s fit for every soul, everywhere.
That’s the mindset I believe truly fuels personal growth.
I often get asked: “What kind of mindset helps you grow, especially when life doesn’t play fair?”
Here’s what I’ve come to believe, it comes down to just two:
1. Be like water: Curious. Adaptable. Ever-learning.
Not just when you’re new. But always. The world keeps changing. And if you want to grow, you have to keep asking, “Why not?” “What else?” “What next?”
It takes humility to say “I don’t know” especially when others expect you to. But that’s exactly what makes you stronger. Leaders who grow never stop learning.
2. Be like water: Quietly powerful. Relentlessly resilient.
Water flows. Around rocks. Through cracks. Under barriers. Not because it’s loud but because it refuses to stop. That’s what resilience looks like.
Some days you crash forward. Some days you barely trickle. But you move. That’s growth.
You master these two? You don’t just grow. You evolve. Not once. But over and over again.
+ For students: This mindset shapes how you learn, not just what you learn.
+ For professionals: This becomes your edge, when talent alone isn’t enough.
Growth doesn’t need a stage or spotlight. It just needs movement. Stillness. And the wisdom to know when to be each.
So ask yourself, am I trying to impress? Or trying to evolve?
Because the world doesn’t need more noise. It needs more water.”
