Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

• Don't  get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and often success.
• Don't blame others for your setbacks
• When things go well, always give credit to others.
• Don't talk all the time. Listen to people who have been there and done that and keep an open mind to learn from them.
• Don't brag about yourself. Do your work and let others point out your virtues, your strong points.
• Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting, show that friend you care.
• There's power in Prayer.
• Success comes in the "cans", not "cannots".
• Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. The smarter the people, the more you can accomplish. 
• Integrity matters around the clock. The same goes for humility.
• Do the right thing. There are values that everyone knows but many disregard when it comes to business. Behave ethically. Work hard. Respect others. If you embrace this approach, it will make your reputation.
• Always over-deliver. Never do just what the boss asks, always do more.
• We can only make ourselves indispensable through service and achievement.
• Worrying is like a rocking chair, it keeps you busy but it brings you nowhere. 
• Your reputation and integrity are everything. Follow through on what you say you're going to do. Your credibility can only be built over time, and it is built from the history of your words and actions.
• Respond to people in a timely manner; this shows respect and responsibility.
• Take on additional responsibility whenever and whereever possible.
