Godrej, Aspi & Other Billionaires
by Deepak Mody on May 10, 2009 04:08 PM  Permalink 

Like all of us billionaires too are human. The very fact that in spite of no need on their part, they are working and working very hard; taking chance with their billions and are creating wealth for the nation (not at the expense of the nation), for themselves. Exactly, what is wrong with that? Why the criticism? What would you do in their place? Albeit they do these things with little extra human comforts, so what is the bug?
Man O man, they are doing wonderful job! When we fail, it makes only a "thud!", when they fail, it makes a "bang!". Not for them but people who thought they would make a "packet" from their "antics".
By unkind remarks for a person and pointing out small slips, does only reflect on how small an ego you have. Instead why not have a reason yourself to have an INFLATED ego? Do it; it feels very very nice!I have had no chance or opportunity or need to meet any of these billionaires, but I am sure the day I meet any one of them, they would be humbler than I am.
Let us learn from these people, they are icons of modern India. We have a national guidebook which tells us NOT to appreciate our own; but wait till the "white skin" praises one of these respected persons - THEN we go ga-ga on them ... what slavery in thinking.
When I was growing up, we worshiped icons of that era - Gandhiji, Nehruji, Sardar Vallabhbhai et al. JRD Tata, Dhirubhai Ambani, Aditya Birla and those who are following in their footsteps are icons of modern era. All eras require hero

Who quoted it first?

"If at 20, you are not a socialist, you are heartless. But at 40, if you are a socialist, you are headless."

Did Adi Godrej quote it first or it was quoted first by some famous person?

A well written article but the authors of the article have to correct the last statement about Russia being a communist country.
