Two Advice for Career and Life

Image
S & S # 6 (dated 3rd March 2017) Different Knowledge base and skill sets are required to perform different tasks and to pursue different careers. But positive attitude and certain values are important for all jobs and careers. If a person practices certain values then he /she may not reach the top of the ladder of career but will have inner peace and get respect from colleagues and people. I had noted two advice – one from RD Tata and another from Maulana Wahiduddin Khan in my diary which I think are relevant even today for career and life. I do practice these two advice.

It takes courage to answer a call It takes courage to give your all It takes courage to risk your name, It takes courage to be true. It takes courage to say, what no other will dare, To be standing alone, one whom no one will own, To be ready to stake, for another man’s sake, It takes courage to be true.
