The world at any given point of time is
filled with people that are successful and can teach about it to other people
so that they too can prosper. Many people have the capability to be that kind
of a person but those that actually care about the rest of us are few in
number. Mr Subrata Roy is a man that can be considered as a part of the latter
group. He is the former chairman of the Indian multinational conglomerate
‘Sahara Group’. ‘Sahara’ is a business empire with interests in various sectors
of business and the Subrata Roy is the man who built it from scratch!
He started the company with a few thousand
rupees in capital and not more than a few employees. In a relatively short
time, Subrata Roy managed to turn the fortunes of the company soaring skywards.
He took charge of the company and instilled a specific work ethic among his
huge workforce. He looked upon them as members of his extended family rather
than people that work for him. This philosophy is what guided him in his path
according to his informative book, ‘Life Mantras’.
Mr Subrata penned the book while he was
going through a major difficult time in life. Instead of focusing on the
negative aspects of his life, he chose to ruminate on the positive qualities in
life that made him a successful man and compiled them all into a single book,
‘Life Mantras’. It has some of the best advice to achieve a balanced and
positive outlook in life. Along with a positive outlook, the book is filled to
the brim with real life experiences of Mr Subrata that had an impact on him or
taught him the value of something important. These experiences have been drawn
from both his personal life and professional life.
The book has Subrata Roy’s thoughts on
almost all the important things in life like marriage, time, love, respect,
dedication, resilience, usefulness etc. The mix of topics is eclectic and it
has a wonderful effect on your personal motivation after just one reading
session.
