Shohag Mostafij, a young Bangladeshi visionary, stunned everybody by winning a extremely cutthroat global competition. Robin Sharma, a Canadian writer, famous speaker, leadership expert and a former litigation lawyer who also authored 15 global best sellers, including The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The Leader Who Had No Title initiated the Titan Principles Contest.
Robin Sharma is the founder of Titan Academy and The Titan Summit. The Titan Summit is a four day live event with Robin Sharma and his world-class faculty of thought leaders on epic performance, health and longevity, business mastery and global contribution. However, the “The 26 Titan Principles” is a high-impact poster specially created for The Titan Summit that Robin Sharma shared in his social networking pages and called for a global competition out of those 26 Titan Principles.
To participate in this contest like other international participants; Shohag Mostafij had to shoot a 90 second long video to answer the question: “How are you living the Titan Principles?”
Shohag has been following Robin Sharma’s work since 2008. He read all his books, listened to his inspirational podcasts, audio books and watched all his videos available on the web. Sharma was a great source of inspiration for him for the last seven years.
As a matter of fact, Shohag Mostafij, Young Author, Development Activist, Motivational Speaker, Leadership Adviser and Human Rights Advocate reveals how the 26 Titan Principles proposed by Robin Sharma provokes his imagination and fuels him towards giving his best. He thought of producing the one-shot raw video to express his sincere gratitude to Robin Sharma by taking part in the contest.
Like all other contestants, Shohag Mostafij uploaded his video on YouTube and shared the link with the concerned authority. The contest ran until July 31, 2015, in the gallery where participants from around the world could view all of their peers’ videos and chose their favourite ones until the end of the contest. This is where participants were able to vote for their favourite videos and shared their videos with their friends. Finally, on July 31, the contest gallery closed. Within a few days, the announcement was made. Shohag Mostafij from Bangladesh became the champion and gained a remarkable victory over other participants by receiving 110 votes while the 2nd highest, a Spanish participant got 30. This amazing news and Shohag Mostafij’s video was posted on Robin Sharma’s social media profiles.
Later, Kelsey Dunlop, client manager of Sharma Leadership International INC contacted Shohag to send him an awesome customised and signed poster of Robin Sharma. He was also given access to the “Game Changer’s Blueprint” a world class leadership and self mastery training. Regarding this training, Robin Sharma says, “Give me just 14 days and I will show you how to shift from being mediocre to meteoric, go from unknown to influential and from transform into Titanic. The Game Changer’s Blueprint is the easiest way to drop whatever is holding you back to become iconic.”
Shohag Mostafij is humbled and honoured to have received Robin Sharma’s inspiring Poster along with his great wish and autograph as a result of his championship. He extends his earnest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Robin Sharma for this wonderful present. His joys know no bounds as he is also awarded with an entrée to Robin Sharma’s marvelous Leadership Training “The Game Changer’s Blueprint” in early December 2015.
Shohag Mostafij is the champion of the first “International Conference on CSR and Sustainable Development” series held in Bangkok in 2013. He presented a number of papers in various international events in different countries across world. He represented Bangladesh at International forums, including the 10th Annual International Human Rights Summit in Brussels, Asian Youth for Human Rights International Summit in Taiwan, South Asian Youth Conference in Nepal etc. He attended a summer fellowship programme titled “Human Rights 4 Development “through Flemish Government scholarship from Ghent University in Belgium.
