Some Golden thoughts
By an Entrepreneur:
Mr. Navjot Singh ( A tea vendor)
During a great opportunity to me by my teacher Mrs. Harpreet Kang I came to know various hidden secrets of success through interaction with the Entrepreneurs who achieved success not inherited to them but by investing many sleepless nights of hard work.
Big success story is not written over night. So, as Mr. Navjot Singh - a tea vendor have his great journey of 27 years of struggle.
During one of my interactions with the various entrepreneurs of Ludhiana I got a chance to capture few learning moments from a tea vendor, Mr. Navjot Singh. I asked him that what according him is success and the most interesting thing was that he defined the word ‘Success’ in the most lively way that ‘Success is Growth’.
As every lock has a unique key same as every unique mind have a respective point of view. The way of perceiving life by Mr. Navjot Singh was something to learn about. He was a car driver in U.P. but somehow he had to leave that job and move to Punjab. Then he started a business of tea vendor. He is an educated man with financial crunches but his trust on himself and his hard work has somehow made him exist in this struggle of existence. He has six lives dependent on him in his home. He has two sons and a daughter, and he is fulfilling their all possible requirements.
His daily investment is about Rs. 250 from where he is able to earn about Rs. 250 to Rs. 300 in a day and about Rs. 5500 to Rs. 6000 per month. By his daily efforts he is still managing to live his life.
His near business plans include financing of an Autorikshaw so as to make a better choice of earning. This man with a great vision and planning has something to learn from. The hard challenges of life were not able to hamper his growth and courage. The objectives of this man were well visible in the shine of his eyes.
The main motto of my concentration on a tea vendor was because more than half of the population of India is struggling for their livelihood and they have much more experiences to be learnt.
Life is not about what you were but what you are and where you see yourself.
