An inspirational quote

Kris wrote:From something I read about Tata's B. Muthuraman:
An individual known for his commitment and aspirations to take
Tata Steel to unimaginable heights, Mr. B Muthuraman has commented that he
derives his inspiration captured in the following quote by Patanjali, an
ancient Indian philosopher –


“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some
extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds – your mind
transcends limitations, your conscience expands in every direction and you find
yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and
talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by than
you ever dreamed”

Do people attain the ability to BS once they reach the top or they learn how to BS to reach the top?

Kris posted some stuff what B. Muthuraman , CEO of Tata Motors said. It was some kind of moral and ethical lesson from Muthuraman who quoted Patanjali telling others how to be a greater person. My point is this : when fellows like this Muthuraman character start preaching others how to behave, watch out. They are most likely to have skeletons in their closets.

Where is it written that whatever I say must be relevant to the original discussion?

"raising kids in this country is no less than a tapasya." had heard an aunty say this when I had just immigrated. Do agree with her.

His maruti success showed indian officialdom that something good can also be made in india. That maruti effect changed lot of minds.
Whether he was/is a brahmin or slept with a up or tamil brahmin is not of any consequence other than for idle brahmin caste surfers of internet.
don't drag him through mud.

LOL at being called idle surfer.

I think as long as I don't visit porn sites or run Internet scams, it is ok to be an idle surfer.

The problem with going to prostitutes is this: you are actively participating in the subjugation of women. Prostitutes do not grow on trees in India. Innocent girls from villages or even cities are lured by evil men into the flesh trade. And they are raped by many men initially to become desensitized to having sex with many clients in a day. So what fellows like Krishnamurthy are doing is to induce much more being girls forced into this evil. So what he was successful as a leader of a corporation?

BTW I got an A- on the statistics course I took at UCB extension.
