Dhirubhai Ambani's words of wisdom
Below are some of Dhirubhai Ambani's words of wisdom published on
rediff. I found them inspiring and through of sharing with you all if
you have not read them already.
* True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.
* Pursue your goal, even in the face of difficulties. Convert
difficulties into opportunities. Keep your morale high, in spite of
setbacks. At the end you are bound to succeed.
* My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face
of odds. Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and
conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately
triumph. The success of the young entrepreneur will be the key to
India's transformation in the new millennium.
* I have trusted people and they have put their trust in me. I have
encouraged youth, and they have never let me down. I have asked my
people to take initiative and to take risks. It has paid me rich
dividends. I insist on excellence. This helps us to be leaders. Reliance
is built on some of these principles.
* The secret of Reliance's success was to have ambition and to know the
minds of men.
* Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when
you dream it you can do it.
* We must forge a new partnership for a great India. A strong and
constructive partnership between industry, government and society.
* We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject
if it is not the best -- not only the best in India, but globally.
* If India wants to be a great nation, we must have courage to trust.
This is my sincere belief.
* All we have to do is to break the shackles that chain the energies of
our people, and India's economy will record a quantum leap and move into
a new, higher orbit of growth, competitiveness and productivity.
* For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win!
* I am deaf to the word 'no.'
* Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly.
* Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment
deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for
Reliance and for India.
* I consider myself a pathfinder. I have been excavating the jungle and
making the road for others to walk. I like to be the first in everything
I do.
* Give the youth a proper environment. Motivate them. Extend them the
support they need. Each one of them has infinite source of energy. They
will deliver.
* If you work with determination and with perfection, success will
follow.
* Between my past, the present and the future, there is one common
factor: Relationship and Trust. This is the foundation of our growth.
* We bet on people.
* Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my
expectation.
* Don't give up, courage is my conviction.
* Roll up your sleeves and help. You and your team share the same DNA.
* Be a safety net for your team.
* Always be the silent benefactor. Don't tom-tom about how you helped
someone.
* Dream big, but dream with your eyes open.
* Leave the professional alone!
* Change your orbit, constantly!
* Money is not a product by itself, it is a by-product, so don't chase
it
