Dear Blog,
I have been thinking about this for quite some time…in fact, any friend in XL who was patient enough to lend an ear has heard this question from me – what is it in a person that makes him/her successful? What is it in that person that separates him/her from those that are unsuccessful or not so successful?
Better still, allow me to be a bit blunt –what qualities should a man possess that would make him become a “Big Man”? (Sounds a bit weird when expressed in English! So let me express it better – Ek Insaan mein aisi kaun si khubiyan honi chahiye jisse wo ek kaamyaab insaan, ek bada aadmi, ban sake?)
Nope, Bloggie! This isn’t bringing out the “edge” in my question…what I want to ask is, “What makes a person a Dhirubhai Ambani, JRD Tata, Sam Walton?”
What a stupid question, you’d say? I don’t think so. Can you give me an answer? Is there a comprehensive “list” of such qualities or facilities or both? Don’t give me the usual gassy answers…I’ve heard plenty of those…
I suggested you to read Forbes India's Collector's issue ('The World's Richest People') that came out in April this year. It has a lot of inspiring stories of entrepreneurs who have made it big..
