It was Yogesh Sapkale of Moneylife who reminded me that I had finished 100 articles in this series and, at this point, I may want to say something special (or different?). Hence, this article, at a point of 60 years of my working life, where I feel the great need to go back to timeless principles which are forgotten in our corporate and political life and often even in our social life!
I have greatly admired and learnt a lot from Charles Vance, who wrote Manager Today, Executive Tomorrow. One of the 10 principles he propounds in his book is that ‘from birth to death you are alone’. You may have parents to help you up to a point; you may have your spouse and children to help you at other stages in your life; or you may have bosses, colleagues, subordinates, friends and acquaintances to give you a helping hand at various times; but essentially, each one of us has to handle our own affairs.
