Be an ASS - i.e Achieve Sustainable Success
- by Rajeev Karwal
"Job Ok Please is a nice name. I will surely write for you and the youth. Youth actually is something in which you see yourself. What you are, were, will be or could not be.
Last year I met about 5000 young students from all across the country. I was motivated by the President of India, Dr Kalam. In 2004 he met over a lac students. Meeting the youth of today gives me a lot of hope for our country as well as the world. Indian youth today does not have any scars of of our history. They play on the front foot with a lot of positivism. I term them 'traditionally irreverent'.
I believe in the power of youth and can say with confidence that a well directed fresh talent can deliver much more than any 40+ like me. Today in the morning I was talking to someone in my office. He asked me what is life all about and how do you measure success? I told him that Life is something which has 4 limbs. Family, Health, Professional and Society.
Our life stands on 2 legs - family and health. Nobody can be a sustainable success without the strength of the family and health. But most of us ignore them during our so called 'earning years'.
Profession and Society are the other 2 limbs which help us profitable and ethical growth in our lives. You really can not just be a money making machine without caring for your family, the society or your health. Someone who balances the power of all four is the only one who can grow sustainably and profitably. That is my short message to the youth. Had I not written it today, it may never had got written."
Rajeev graduated from IMT Ghaziabad and in a career spanning over 22 years, he has worked with the biggest names in the consumer durable business such as LG, Philips, Onida and Electrolux.
His last assignment was with Reliance Industries, where he was President & CEO, of the Consumer Durables Vertical of Reliance Retail. Rajeev is now nurturing a startup - Milagrow - which has a unique business partnering approach.
A final word from Rajeev: "If you have a dream with which you want to run... you can count on me and Milagrow. The motto of my organization is 'nurturing ideas, enabling enterprise'. For the young who can not pay, we don't charge any fee."

I to some extent though agree with the 4 limbs definition of life. But, i would like to say, that there exists another limb, which i think is the most important pillar of life. and that is "dreams".
