JRD Tata loses a pen!

JRD Tata, then Chairman of the Tata group, and senior Tata Directors used to meet for lunch at Bombay House (the Tata Group's headquarters) every day. One day, JRD came to lunch, sad that he had lost his favourite pen. He used to always carry a Parker pen set - a fountain pen and a ball pen.

"Look", he said sadly, "I have lost the ball pen. I don't know where it has gone. I have looked all over...but it's gone."

One of the Directors in the lunch room that day was Dr. Jamshed (JJ) Irani of Tata Steel. He made note of JRD Tata's loss. A few weeks later, when he was visiting London, he went to a small shop near Selfridges specialising in pens, and found a ball pen identical to the one JRD had lost. He bought it immediately. The next time he met JRD Tata, he presented that pen to him.

JRD was delighted. "Yes, Jamshed, it is exactly like the one I lost." For the first one or two minutes, he used it and tried it out. Then, Dr. Irani saw JRD's expression change slowly.

After a couple of minutes, he gave the ball pen back to Dr. Irani, and said - "Thank you for the thought. This is exactly what I wanted, but I cannot accept it."

"Why?" asked Dr. Irani, "I thought you were looking for this."

JRD answered - "Yes, Jamshed. But it is a principle of mine not to accept any gifts from any of my colleagues at work. If I did, then I know my colleagues would try to outdo each other and give me exorbitant gifts."

Dr. Irani tried to persuade him. "But Sir, nobody would know that I have given you this pen. You can say that you found it in your room. I am not going to go around saying that I have given JRD an identical pen."

JRD responded - "Jamshed, I know you will not do any such thing. But I would know. I would know that I accepted this gift against my principles. I am sorry, but I cannot accept it."

Each of us decides the principles by which we lead our lives. The principles that we will stand by, even if no one is looking or speaking about them. The principles that define who we really are. This story of JRD Tata's lost ball pen can help us reflect on what our own life's principles are. #Tata #ethics

@sherinpylan Went through your profile. And you are like the ones who are always using twitter only as a platform for complaining & disgruntlement. Not not found any anguish when you guys @IndiGo6E put us & the entire country in the most embarassing situation.

Dear @TataCompanies @TataMotors_Cars I am writing this as a true patron of Tata. I bought my first car with major chunk of my many years of savings to buy your trusted #Harrier. It's been 4 years now and I was a proud owner with no issues in either driving or services...1/n

[Chaitan Chouhan @chaitan5]

1) This experience is not just disgusting but next level if disappointment. I am highly disappointed @TataMotors .
2) The way this case has been handled is very unprofessional.
3) Siva Shankar Motors are ruining the image of @TataMotors_Cars
I am appending few images how my car

If you are looking to be the best version of yourself, here are a few tips.
1)Sleep and wake up at the same time everyday. 10-5
2)Dinner max by 7 pm,keep it light.
3)Home cooked food
4)Avoid refined sugar, processed food, anything in a packet is unhealthy.
5)Stop aerated drinks,Quit smoking. Alcohol has zero benefits, so you decide.
6)Exercise 45 min daily
7)Consistency over Intensity
8)Stop snacking in between meals
9)Include protein every meal
10)Don't skip breakfast
11)Be patient with the results, initially there will be nothing to show, but you must show up everyday.
12) Take reference, seek inspiration from others, but at the end of the day it is your battle, you have to fight it alone.
13)You will feel like quitting at some point but remember "People don't fail, they give up early"
14)I was wearing XXL clothes ,but I started buying M size clothes and looked at them everyday and visualised wearing them someday, there is great power in Visualisation.
15) Strength training is boring,but doing the boring stuff gets you the results. Don't join a gym to walk on the treadmill, roads are for walking.
16)Nights are for sleeping, and sleep is your reward for hard work, never compromise on your sleep.
Nothing significant happens in the night, unless you are a burglar.
17)We are all special and gifted and have hidden talents, the onus is on us to unlock them.
18)Feeling good is as important as looking good , when you are fit and healthy you will feel both.
19)The doctor is not your friend, so avoid meeting him often, to a larger extent this is in your hand.
20)If you like the tweet do RT, and follow me for pratical nuggets of wisdom..I don't advise anything I don't do myself.
