About

Welcome to Set Higher Standards. My name is Ravi Raman. I started this site in the middle of 2006 as a way to present and discuss issues that are relevant to leading a successful life, specifically relating to business, personal development and fitness.

I’ve consistently focused on setting higher and higher standards for myself, and over the long-term, have been amazed at the results. As far as fitness goes, I’ve come a long over the past decade; not only getting in shape, but finishing a series of endurance events that I wouldn’t have dreamed possible just a few years earlier.

I graduated from Penn State Univeristy with High Distinction and Honors, and ended up landing a promising career at one of the finest companies in the Universe. I’ve been there almost seven years now, having worked in a variety of business strategy, product management and product planning roles.

Most importantly, I’ve been lucky to stumble upon several teachers that have impacted my live in an incredibly positive way. I love studying people who have achieved great things in their lives. I think we can learn a lot from people that live their own example. This blog is a discussion of these people, and those topics that can help us live outstanding lives.

This blog will be a constant work in progress. I will discuss ideas and techniques have worked for me, as as some things that I am experimenting with right now in my own life. I expect some things to work well…others to crash and burn. Either way, only one thing is certain, we’re sure to learn a lot.
