<blockquote>A fairytale wedding, eating disorder, civil unrest, unemployment - so many factors and one show - The Crown.&nbsp;</blockquote>The Crown just came out with its 4th season a few weeks ago and the audience loves it. Starting from the tragic relationship between Charles, Diana, and Camilla, the rule of Thatcher as the first female prime minister, the failure of the queen as a mother – this season has it all! Let’s take a look at some of the life lessons we can adopt while binging on the new season of this amazing series.&nbsp; 1️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:Season 4 of The Crown focuses more on the relationship between Charles and Diana. From their very first meeting, it could be seen that Diana and Charles were not compatible with each other. In addition to this, they never seemed to communicate properly. In fact, Diana met Charles only a couple of times before they officially got married. Even after their wedding, they failed to communicate their issues with each other which ultimately led to their separation.Similarly, communication is very crucial in our workplace. Lack of communication in work may lead to misunderstandings which can cause problems to both individual employees and the organization. 2️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩:Charles had a very terrible childhood. However, it cannot excuse his poor behavior. One of the main reasons behind the separation between Charles and Diana was his insecurity against his wife. Diana was young, beautiful, relatable, and friendly. This caused the public to fall in love with her which was greatly displayed in the Australian tour. This made Charles more angry and insecure regarding his position as a future King (“One day, dear boy, you shall be king” - And shall the longest internship begin!)In our workplace, many times our colleagues will go ahead in the race. However, we should never get insecure about their achievement. Rather, learn from them and move forward with your handwork and talent.&nbsp;&nbsp; 3️⃣ 𝐀 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐨 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐲:One of the best scenes from this season was when Diana hugged the child with AIDS. The moment Diana hugged the child just like that, without gloves, without any doubt or hesitation, changed everything for the sick people. By this simple yet so bold and important gesture, Diana ended the taboo and stigma among people against AIDS patients.This shows how much even a small gesture of help can change the life of a person for the better. So, the next time your colleague asks for your help in a presentation or your classmate asks for guidance in a competition, be there for them!&nbsp; 4️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦:Diana was a young, innocent girl who married into a family she thought would make her happy. Instead, it was like a nightmare she couldn’t get away from. The royals neglected her, ignored her, and made her feel alone and unsupported. The biggest tragedy for Diana was the infidelity of her own husband. The pressure and the grief led Diana to depression and she suffered from bulimia. However, Diana or any other royal members never took any step to face this problem. Rather, everyone conveniently ignored it which ultimately worsened her condition. In life, we cannot go very far ignoring problems because they are inevitable. So, the sooner you start seeing problems as opportunities to grow, the sooner you will learn to solve problems better.&nbsp; Admit it, most of us are obsessed with the royal family. We believe they have it all. However, this season of The Crown beautifully sheds the perfect image of this family. It highlights how even the most powerful people in the world can share the same sorrows and difficulties as ordinary human beings. So, the biggest lesson from this season would be to not judge others before walking in their shoes. Rather, work on yourself to be a better spouse, parent, child, and leader!

Let’s take a look at some of the life lessons we can adopt while binging on the new season of this amazing series.

Unless you're living under a rock, you've heard about the Professor of Money Heist. That character was responsible for pulling off one of the greatest heists in history (fictional of course). He was able to conduct the entire robbery from behind the scenes by playing with the mind of the police and tricking them to do exactly what he wanted. Have you ever wondered how he came out with this genius plan and executed it so well?&nbsp;“𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤”- my friends.&nbsp;For those who don’t know about deep work, let’s start with a self–explanatory definition of this concept. “𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏-𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆, 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆.” If you fall under the usual category of people like me, then you feel like you are not important to the economy. You are easily replaceable. Your work does not create enough value for your organization and you have a fear of getting laid off next in this recession. Let me enlighten you on how deep work is going to help you stand out in your career and reach the top.&nbsp; <ul><li>&nbsp;𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭&nbsp;</li></ul>Deep work requires intense periods of distraction-free work. Neuroscience studies suggest that this kind of work results in the myelination of nerve cells in related areas of the brain. This causes better nerve conduction. Better nerve conduction means you can think faster, comprehend better, and handle more difficult tasks. Remember how Popeye used to get extra strong after eating that can of spinach. Deep work will help you in the same way for your career.&nbsp; <ul><li>&nbsp;𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧</li></ul>Standing out in the crowd based solely on your skills isn’t as easy as it once was. In this age of connectivity, it is safe to assume almost all of your competitors have access to the same resources as you, and almost all of them have put in just as much effort to earn the same skills. So, you need to set yourself apart if you want to advance. “𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌: 𝑹𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅” gives us the story of Carl Jung, a 20th-century psychologist. His theories set him apart from his peers at the time. To come up with these theories he used to spend distraction-free time in isolation. In the same way, deep work will open your mind, help you realize your potential, and set you apart from the million others.&nbsp; <ul><li>&nbsp;𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧</li></ul>Bill Gates took 1 week off twice a year to read papers on possible innovations and investment opportunities written by his employees. He called this “Think Week”. One such “Think Week” led to the launch of Internet Explorer. This shows how a week's worth of Deep Work led to the creation of something that became synonymous with the Windows platform. While you might not need to create a revolutionary new product, you do need to add value to be important for your workplace and ensure you don't lose your job to AI.&nbsp; <ul><li>&nbsp;𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬</li></ul>If your task is something routine, or mundane, there is a high possibility that some tech genius in some corner of the world has written a piece of code that renders you obsolete. With deep work, you enhance your cognitive abilities and develop ideas that you normally would not have come upon and ultimately become irreplaceable like our very own Harvey Spector.&nbsp; Let’s get something straight. You think you used your time productively this quarantine because you took so many courses from Coursera? 💬 Well, so did the other 10 people you know. So, if you want to advance in your career, stay relevant in your job and be better than your peers, start adopting deep work today.&nbsp; With that, I would like to end by congratulating you on taking the first step of this journey by reading this article.
