My Stand

This is the True joy in life - being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one; being throughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a fervish selfish little clod of ailments and greivances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

George Bernard Shaw

Control your destiny or someone else will.

Jack Welsh

We are doing an exercise on our team right now on what is MY STAND. It means what do I stand for for the purpose of my life.. and this is what I said. I wanted to record it because I know years later I will look at this and need to see it; particularly in difficult circumstances

I stand for the empowerment of women in India through leading by my own example.

I stand for bringing religions together and taking away the misconception of communal divisions which exist for no rhyme or reason in the minds of men who are guided by hate and misunderstanding more than a sense of being human.

I stand for defying what is the perception of RIGHT and doing what is truly RIGHT. What it truly right is that which makes the lives of my family and the welfare of my country infinitely better. It is also what makes me happy and able to sleep at night, secure in the knowledge that I have added more value to my work and my country than they have invested in me. And that I have not broken any principles that guide me in doing so.

I stand for fostering and caring for a family that contributes to their societies and are guided by ethics and a profound sense of purpose.

I stand for always being happy no matter what the circumstances and being able to remind myself of the bigger picture and enjoy myself no matter what. Because I believe if I can't enjoy my life who will? Only when I cherish my own life can it be of any benefit to me or have any significant purpose for the world.

Carpe Diem.
