Being successful in life..

Becoming a successful person involves setting clear goals, staying motivated, continuous learning, networking, and perseverance. 

Focus on your strengths, work hard, manage time effectively, and be open to adapting and improving. 

It is always good to remember that success is a journey that requires dedication and a positive mindset.

Phases of elimination in life ..

Four Stages of Elimination in Life:

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you'll return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!

At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you mustn't feel uncomfortable about it!

At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you'll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!

At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!

Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Eat what you want, drink what you desire, play and do the things you love.

Remember, the only thing that won't eliminate you is the Whatsapp group. So, communicate more in the group, say a hello, maintain your presence, be happy, and have no regrets! 🌹🌹❤️❤️

Discovery of India by Nehru ..

Among the 118 books Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in his life time, this 635 page Magnum Opus *Discovery of India* of Indian history (Indian viewpoint) from 1000 BC to 1940 AD, written in 4 months under imprisonment for 36 months at Ahmednagar Fort prison in Maharashtra for three years from 1942-1945, (of the total 9 years 9 months he spent in British prisons in India), this is indeed the best .. 👍🙏🌹🙏 Commented by none other than the great Albert Einstein on the back cover...

Yours humbly tried a hand to read it, though not complete. Surprised by Nehru's terrific depth of knowledge combined with his inimitable, fluent, articulate and eloquent writing style. 🙏❤️🌹

Sadly, Nehru critics will not be able to complete even the first chapter of this terrific book ..

Vishu and vernal equinox ..

Very often we read of important festivals and relate them to Gods and religions. But more often than not, all festivals are related to the sun and the movement of our planet around it.

A global business executive interacts with Alliance BBA sem 6 Operations students

It was interesting to see how on 6 April 2023 at around 12 noon about ten BBA sem 6 Operations students of Alliance School of Business Bangalore interacted with Easaw George, Amazon executive in an online session from his Bangalore home. 

The BBA students were very inquisitive with questions right from the moment Easaw finished his initial explanation about the Amazon initiatives in environmental sustainability. The class was on Green Energy and Sustainability. 

Easaw explained about the Climate pledge of Amazon which already has more than 200 global corporations signed in and participating besides Amazon initiatives like buying 100,000 EV delivery vans in US. Click here for the latest 101 page Amazon Sustainability report for 2021. 

Besides asking questions relating to Anazon's commitment to environmental Sustainability, the students asked how Amazon is interested in playing the lead role in environmental sustainability initiatives across the world. Being #2 in the Fortune 500 list of companies, just behind Walmart (btw Walmart and Amazon are the only 2 global corporate giants who have crossed $500 billion annual turnover) Amazon has a lot of responsibility and commitment to ensure it's operations are least damaging to the environment.  Read what Fortune magazine writes on Amazon.

If the corporate giants like Walmart, Amazon, Toyota and Volkswagen besides the other six in the top 10 of the Fortune 500 global list ensure and insist their suppliers also be equally responsible to the environment, it can tackle at least 20-30 percent of global pollution, resource depletion, optimal energy usage, reduction in biodiversity and waste management issues of the world. In terms of supply chain effectiveness and transportation efficiency, Amazon is already working at 4x the industry standard.

When a global giant like Amazon takes the lead it is not only about taking the climate pledge, but also on enforcing environmental sustainability among its huge network of suppliers, partners and other stakeholders, like a domino effect in the whole supply chain.

The students were interested besides professional knowledge on the environment in knowing what Easaw's worklife balance was like in Amazon. A 15 hr workday for 4 days and 3 days of recuperation weekly is indeed exciting for an executive.

Since the  facility was one of the largest Amazon fulfilment centres in UK, part of the middle mile logistics network, the scale of operations was huge. Easaw carefully avoided going into the nitty gritty of daily Operations, he was strongly stressing throughout the interaction on Amazon's need for energy in  big scale, especially in their cloud services. He proudly was mentioning how Amazon globally is on the right path to getting 100 % powered by renewable energy (net-zero energy Carbon footprint) by 2025. 

Amazon is also committed to all its facilities across the world going net-zero in terms of Carbon emissions by 2040, a full ten years ahead of countries themselves going net zero emissions, as promised in the Paris Conference Meeting of 2015. The interaction ended in a very positive note, the students were motivated enough to understand the positive effects of environmental Sustainability initiatives of global corporations and countries. The fears and apprehensions of the national association of local retailers in India protesting the meeting of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos with Indian PM Narendra Modi in New Delhi in early 2020, which finally did not materialise also figured in the interaction.

Overall, in brief the learning for the students from this interaction was excellent.
