Indra Nooyi's mantras for success
September 12, 2008
Success isn't money, prestige or power because net worth can never define self-worth. True success is being happy with yourself, is being fulfilled. And that comes from devoting your time, your life, to doing what you love the most.
At the end of the day if I stand back and have regrets, it is never going to work. You just look forward and get on with life.
What you know is more important than who you know because that's what gets you 'who you know.'
Don't think of the difficult journey. Think, instead, of the wonderful destination.
We are too attached to the known security of the past and too wary of the challenging promises of the future. This often leads to complacency or inertia.
You've got to say, at every point in your life, if you were to drop dead, would your epitaph be something that you could be proud of? Is your legacy something that would linger long after you?
