Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

I consider myself very fortunate to see entrepreneur up close and personal yesterday.Raj Shah said "Give it all at what you do that they can't ignore you.” Love it. Life and success runs according to timeless and immutable natural laws. Just like a garden reflects the care and nurturing that's gone into it, a career/business as well as a life reflects how much has been put in. The more you give to life, the more it will send back. It's just not possible for you to be great at what you do, always reaching for your best and representing excellence and not win in the end.

Sometimes discouragement sets in. Happens to all of us. We try hard, stay true to our dreams and pursue our ideals. Yet nothing happens. Or so it seems. But every choice matters. And every step counts. Life runs according to its own agenda - not yours. Be patient. Trust. Be like the stone cutter - steadily chipping away, day after day. Eventually, a single blow will crack the stone and reveal the diamond. A good person just cannot be denied.

Multimillionaire, Entrepreneur Raj Shah's wisdom speaks deeply to me. “Be so good they can't ignore you.” Apply that philosophy at business. Apply it at home. Apply it in your community. Apply it to your world. Having the courage to present your gifts and brilliance will always yield magnificent rewards. Life is always fair in the end.
