Friends
Today I had to rush to Delhi and after finishing couple of meetings, I returned to airport bit early. And when you are free the mind works over time. Today I had an opportunity to meet one of the director of a large real estate fund based out of USA. The person , handling about 50 bn. USD and operating through out the world, was so simple and down to earth that I was virtually shocked to meet him. The assistants to this guy were calling him by name ( not as sir, like in india). The gentleman had just come from Mumbai at 2am in the morning ,reached to hotel at 3 am and before he slept he was thru with all the mails coming from USA. By the time he went to bed it was 5am and here he was in meeting at 10.30 more fresh than any body else. Top of that he remembered every thing about my proposal. I was so impressed by the hard work of this man at the age of more than 55 yrs. Similarly if we analyse the daily routine of most of the successful persons, it is found that they never complain about the lack of time and they use every minute perfectly. Mr. Anil Ambani is on track by 6am in morning, M. Amitabh Bachchan too by 6am at gym, Shahrukh Khan says for him 4 hrs sleep is more than sufficient. I am sure most of the successful people dont sleep much and also have very stringent time management. All these people are successful and visible in public life. Still they find time for them selves, for society and for family. These people have habit of reading and have great memory. They are highly humble, soft spoken, fresh and disciplined. I never heard them complaining for time unlike we people do. I fail to understand what makes them different from rest of us. Probably they have clear mission of life and what ever they have achieved it is because of consistency and persistent efforts in right direction . We need to really learn from them. I believe the success to these people is not because of luck only. Of course luck is an important factor but in my view, its share is not more than 20%.
