In one of his speech, Mr Harsha Bhogle said that a lot of people believe that they are ambitious. All of us are convinced that we practice excellence. We all are working for excellence, isn’t it? What is the true definition of excellence? If you are waiting for my definition then my answer is I don’t know. I guess we all have a different definition of excellence. Now the main question is that how to achieve excellence. You may reply, it comes from experience, and how we will get best from experience because experience also goes with two types of people. I.e., Successful and unsuccessful. If we are talking about successful then your answer may be knowledge. A successful person gains experience through knowledge. Now again, if I ask, how to get knowledge then the answer is Reading…Reading and Reading. To make things more simple and straight as failure is a stepping stone to success, similarly reading is the first step to excellence.
