Pranks As A Child

Just like most other kids, Premji was a naughty kid and in fact, admits he spent most of his time outside the classroom.

Yes, I was very naughty when I was a kid. And in those days, you got rapped on the knuckles, you got hit on your head and you had to be kneeling outside the class for a really long time. At least some of those practices are no longer there. But I spent a lot of time outside the class, kneeling.

Premji’s Success Mantra

Despite being naughty, nothing deterred him from working hard for the future or chasing his dreams. Hard work is the key to success and he swore by this mantra all through his journey. However, just like every coin has two sides, his success story does too. While his hard work did fetch him the right fruit, he admits he neglected his family in his endeavour to success.

I think, the only way to have sustained success is to keep competing with yourself. That’s the only enduring thing according to me.

Focus On Your Career

That said, Premji feels youngsters today are far more intelligent, smart and take their careers more seriously, especially girls.

Girls take their careers more seriously. And girls, particularly in villages, take their careers even more seriously, once their parents give them the latitude to do that.

Lastly, he admits that hard work and luck are his success mantra, but the only way he feels you can stay successful is by constantly competing with yourself. When someone quizzed him about the secret to luck- here’s what he said-

It just comes by itself. You can’t search for it.

Now, that’s what we call, a true inspiration!
