Speech by Azim Premji - "My lessons in Life"

Summary of the heart touching speech by Azim Premji.
This speech is done long ago on the Shaping Young Minds interactive workshop organised jointly by the All India Management Association and the Bombay Management Association.
The first thing I have learnt is that we must always begin with our strengths.
The second lesson I have learnt is that a Rupee earned is of far more value than five found.
The third lesson I have learnt is that no one bats a hundred every time.
The fourth lesson I have learnt is the importance of humility.
The fifth lesson I learnt is that we must always strive for excellence.
The sixth lesson I have learnt is never give up in the face of adversity.
The seventh lesson I have learnt is that while you must be open to change do not compromise on your values.
And the final lesson I learnt is that we must have faith in our own ideas even if everyone tells us that we are wrong.
