- Success is about the sense of independence; it is about not seeing the world but seeing the light.
- Imagination is everything. If we can imagine a future, we can create it, if we can create that future, others will live in it. That is the essence of success.
- It is not about what you create for yourself, it is about what you leave behind that defines success.
- It is important not to measure personal success and sense of well-being through material possessions.
- Leave your Newspaper and your Toilet, the way you expect to find it. Business begins and ends with that simple precept.
Ashok Soota
Self-awareness begins with self-assessment and that capacity needs to be refined over time.
Self-confidence has many facets. One facet was the ability to articulate, to hold forth a point of view in the presence of people much older, more experienced. So, he worked on it and over a period of time ceased to be tongue-tied.
As we talk more on the subject, he tells me the importance of feedback. It requires humility and it requires self-confidence. The two are intertwined and flourish in tandem. Feedback is from people around but self-awareness stems from the person deep inside, and understanding it requires solitude.
