Go Kiss The World

-By Subroto Bagchi
My Rating-****

They say we learn from our mistakes and it is indeed the lessons learnt from these mistakes that makes all the difference! Here's a book not just a professional but every individual must read...from humble beginnings to a successful entrepreneur, Mr. Bagchi tells his tale in a simple yet interesting manner giving the reader insights about what is expected of a professional, high performer, entrepreneur etc.

Mr.Bagchi, in his book, describes his journey right from his childhood in the small towns of Orissa to working as a clerk in a Govt office; from working for Wipro to founding Mindtree; the challenge of setting up a project from scratch in the States during his stint in Wipro; his experience working with Azim Premji, founder of Wipro etc. At the end of each chapter, through his experiences, he shares his thoughts which has got something for each one of us! Just to get the feel of what this book has to offer, what follows is a teaser of sorts, which I think, should be convincing enough for you to pick this book :)

Excerpts-

We do not realize how lucky we are to be able to get up in the morning and go some place where work awaits us. (..when he talks about retirement saying, it's our work that keeps us going and without it, there wouldn't be any meaning to life)

You are your deep driving desire,
As is your desire, so is your will,
As is your will, so is your act,
As is your act, so is your destiny!

Your frustration is the difference between your ambition and your capability. Either improve your capability or lower your ambition (Wow!! Love it!!)
