Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Lesson Number 4



Hesitation is your worst enemy


On the battlefield of Kurukshetra , Arjun had doubts


Sure , he had been wronged by cousin Duryodhan , but how can he think of fighting him - and grandpa Bhisma - just to regain his rights  ?


When Gandiv ( the mighty bow ) started slipping from his hands , he sat down on the chariot and told Lord Krishna ,


"  I am confused . I have doubts about fighting this battle  "


It was then that Lord Krishna taught him Karma-Yoga


Rest is history


When Arvind Kejriwal ( Chief Dark Cloud ) , announced launching of a helpline yesterday , the Doubting Thomas  of all respectable TV channels broke into a chorus :


>   Helpline is an eyewash - bound to fail


>   No more than a populist measure to divert people's attention


>   A ridiculous , half-baked idea


>   If people are to conduct sting operations , what will you do ?


>   Going back on promises - what else


>   Corrupt officials will get friends to make fake phone-calls on helpline
     and learn about the " Modus Operandi " of the planned sting


>   If it was this easy to get rid of corruption , Congress would have done it
     50 years back


>   Why did it take you 15 days to announce such a simple thing ?




DEAR   ARVIND



Remember ,


>  Too much analysis produces paralysis


>  No decision is worse than a bad decision


>  Fear of failure is your worst enemy


>  World average is : One idea succeeds after 99 fails


>  Only way to success is by experimenting - by making mistakes


>  Only way to learn swimming is by jumping into water


>  Successful governments all over the World , have a " BIAS FOR ACTION "



This is your Lesson Number  4


BIAS   FOR   ACTION


Learn it well
