Reproduced from a memorable session delivered by Mr. Pratapaditya Chakravarty (Paco) - Head - EDGE Learning Academy and Head - Investor Education at Reliance Capital Asset Management Company during the "Design Your Future" - The Foundation Fortnight, an induction seminar of the incoming PGDM 2010 - 2012 batch of Welingkar Institute of Management Development & Research in Mumbai.
The Immutable Laws of Success....
1. Nothing of what happens inside matters… unless it matters to someone outside.
- Focus towards clients / customers
2. Avoid “But”, “However” and “No” in your communication… creates positive relationships, mends broken ones
3. Don’t doubt… helps avoid negative perceptions and builds a clear perspective.
4. Don’t bad mouth… It just leaves you with a bad mouth.
5. Shun mediocrity… It tends to make a mediocre of all
6. Stand by your people… for they weep when you cry.
7. Build your team’s equity… helps build your personal equity.
Personal Equity – goes beyond company. Career long. If you want to be an entrepreneur / CEO… then you’ve got to find your CFO early on.
8. Live what you preach … In living it, you epitomize what you preach
9. Don’t run away from what you do… who said it was going to be easy?
10. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself… what matters is what others think of you.
11. Skill x Will = Competence
12. Everyone rises upto their level of incompetence.
13. Education is nothing but discovery of ignorence.
Thanks, Himanshu! I never knew that I made it memorable!
