I was born in a small village called Ettunayakanpatti, near the historic catholic christian center Kamanayakanpatti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamanaicken_patti). The following are the five things that helped me come up in life.
1.Respect every individual and learn from everyone.
2.Fast learning and fast forgetting are essential for survival in this ever changing world.
3.Inconsistency is not bad; It is only those who try new things end up with inconsistent performance.
4.Follow your passion areas, rather than chase opportunities, and finally
5.Do not compete or compare but grow beyond competition (Blue ocean strategy).
