Success

Becoming rich? No
Becoming a doctor/engineer? Never 
Belonging to a particular religion/race? Not at all
Success to me is being able to spend more time with one's family and to have an open mindset for personal growth 

Spending more time with one's family: 
Where else should you put your energy in? A healthy family should be everything. If you're rich in your mind and if your family has your back, you own the world
No matter how much money you have or how many riches you own, if you do not support your family you're not successful, my dear friend. Family comes first because they have you're back after all. The word family I refer to in this context is your immediate family; your mother, father, siblings, spouse and your children
The present generation is seduced by social media and all they want more of is high life. When you dig deep you will realise that it's all empty down there in their hearts and lives. Many followers over social media but destroyed family bonds in real life.  Is it the real success, I think to myself 

An open mindset for personal growth: If you own this, you're on the right track to success or maybe you're already there. This is the secret of all successful men and women out there. Be open to changes. Let go of ypur toxic traits. Review yourself daily to learn from your mistakes, your triggers and to review on your focus. Do not waste your energy to review others but yourself. Grow. Learn. Unlearn. Focus. Nobody is perfect but we can try shooting the stars

This is what "success" means to me and I admit the fact that everyone has their own different perception of the term "success" and I respect this difference 

Cheers folks!

Leptospirosis as a zoonosis

Leptospirosis awareness A timely topic as there's a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Northern province of Sri Lanka. I see a gap in the level of awareness on prevention and transmission regarding this topic although there are plenty of sources to explain the symptoms of the disease. It's vital to raise awareness on prevention of spread of the disease among the non-infected at a same level as of the attempts to cure the already infected individuas! Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease - a disease that is transmitted to humans via animals Leptospirosis, also known as "මී උණ" in Sinhala is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacteria Leptospira The carrier of the disease is rodents such as rats, mice and even squirrels The carriers can transmit Leptospira bacteria to most of the mammals such as humans, dogs, cats, cattle, horses, wild animals and marine mammals How does the bacteria enter into an individual? There are several ways by which the bacter...

Acetaminophen toxicity in dogs and cats

If you want to make your pet live longer remember not to give acetaminophen ever!!! Acetaminophen toxicity is not an uncommon clinical condition that is encountered and is mainly caused due to ignorance and lack of awareness by pet owners. Although this drug is not toxic to owners up to a certain level, dogs and especially cats do not resist. Symptoms of toxicity may occur within 24 hours of drug administration. You may identify an affected cat or dog by the following signs: Lethargy Swollen face (facial edema) Bluish tongue and gums Drooling Difficulty in breathing The reason for toxicity in dogs and cats is that they lack the glutathione conjugating enzyme which converts the toxic acetaminophen to non toxic glutathione sulfate. Animals affected by acetaminophen toxicity need emergency and critical care by a veterinarian.

What took me to the UN

I was invited to the United Nations' International Labour Organization for a consultative meeting with the stakeholders of the entrepreneurial system to conduct a start-up ecosystem mapping for the first time in Sri Lanka on the 17th of January 2025 This is my first time to even go to the United Nations and I'm grateful that I was invited. In my invitation it mentioned that I was invited for the potential that I showcased as a young entrepreneur  There were only four young entrepreneurs who were invited while the rest was about 50 other massive stakeholders and entrepreneurs themselves But, what exactly made me to the UN? I was pondering about the "potential" and yes, I think I figured out  1. social impact : aligns with 10 SDGs of UN From healing pets to creating industries, employment and promoting innovation, my work expands in the most sustainable ways 2. health impact : promotes longevity and sustainability of pets directly and human beings indirectl...
