You cannot have sustainable growth and sustainable success, if you don’t have a sustainable planet.
The general aspiration is the whole world wants to live like the United States of America. According to Living Earth statistics, if the whole world has to live like an average citizen in United States does, we need four-and-a-half planets. But we have only one. We have only one and we need four-and-a-half, if we want to succeed. So, somewhere we should pray for failure ? Which is not a good thing!
So we have to redefine what enterprise is, we have to redefine success; we have to redefine what we call moving forward. If we call moving backward as moving forward, we’re asking for trouble. So, yes, we want everybody to succeed. But it is also important, because we are hugely, hugely empowered like never before, no other generation has been as empowered as we are today. We have to redefine success.
Otherwise, we’ll pay a very high price if we succeed.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly!

The yardstick of success is not measured by fame and wealth;
it is measured by your level of understanding of
who you are, why you are here
and where are you going from here. (Tulshi Sen)
