This is something that I have begun to realise in the past few years and I am really proud of it. I have seen a huge chunk of my generation come here to the USA or to other parts of the world in quest of various goals ranging from further education, on-site employment to earning money. But there is a really nice trend going on currently. I have had atleast 2 of my close friends and my sister return back to India because they wanted to do something for India rather than languish here and work for some multi-national company. They have gone back and have started working in places like NCL, Pune (my sister) or have started up their own business. I plan to follow suit (just waiting to earn all the money back that I had invested in this country and bring it back to MY country).
I have read a few of your previous speeches and they have always moved me to tears. Some people might call it being impractical or even plain stupid, but I firmly believe that it is each and every person's duty to your country to serve it as much as possible. Not everyone can join the armed forces or get an idea which would fetch the person and the country a billion Rupees, but at the least, all of us must try our best. This is generally the only thing that I ask God every morning... let me do my best in everything.
My moto for life is "Failure is NEVER an option". I had heard the quote "Failure is not an option" somewhere and it just stuck in my mind. I just thought that the NEVER is what makes it reach the level that it can become one's life moto. I have always given everything that is possible in anything that I attempt be it sports or studies or at work. I am hoping that every person in India can also do the same and this would be our path to greatness as a whole. Teamwork is the only way that we can become the best that we possibly can.
