Love is in the air !

In the beginning of my training career, I was the boy Hitler. No compromises. It had to be my way. It was the same with my business career. Most of my arguments with my dad were only because I was inflexible.

Three decades is a long time. And I have learnt my lesson. Human beings are not machines. They do not perform the way you expect them to. Their minds are not yours.
In the mid nineties thanks to a lot of hard knocks and the inspiration that I drew from my friends at Brotherhood, I started using Love as the chief weapon in getting things done by people. And I threw away Fear.

Every bit of the success that I have achieved in the last decade is because of this omnipotent weapon called Love. I am accused of being emotional. Actually the right word is Passionate. I have experienced that passion in my work and love towards the people I work with have completely changed my life. For the better.

My hard core business friends say there is no place for sentiment in business. I beg to differ. Your ride to unlimited wealth lies in your ability to make your customer and your employee fall in love with you. In your ability to win over your supply chain with your charm and your understanding.

Love does not mean irresponsibility. You love your children but you also discipline them when necessary.

Love does not mean compromise all the time. When love is reciprocated it is not called compromise. It is adjustment. It is wanting to bend for another person.
Love is not conditional. I will love you only if….! Love is just letting a person inside your heart. Not necessarily reciprocal. You love just because YOU feel nice. It is a bonus if you are loved back.

Love is not possession. Just because you love someone and that someone reciprocates, you do not get the right of ownership. You just get a lease. And that lease has a lot of responsibility attached to it.

Love only means understanding that people are after all human !

It is the season of Love. And I love you all !
