Focused growth on business and adjacent fields, rather than trying to expand on unrelated verticals, is the mantra for sustained growth -Harsh Mariwala

As markets are hitting all-time high, material wealth for many is also at all-time high. Is our happiness also at all-time high? While introspecting, I penned down some thoughts. Apologies if I sound preachy.
Prashant Jain Sir on an event that changed the course in your life -
"I wanted to get into the civil services and sat for the entrance exam.
One question was of 60 marks. My English was poor and I had forgotten to read the Hindi version of that question. After I read the Hindi version, I thought that I misinterpreted the question. So I cancelled my answer and attempted it again. If I had just read the Hindi version, I would have nailed it on the first go. What I wrote initially was right. So I ended up losing 60 marks.
As a result I did not get my choice of service within civil services.
This delayed my joining SBI Caps by two months. By then the general manager said to me, “Son, I am sorry. The choice posting are gone. All that I can offer you is equity research as SBI Mutual Fund.”
That set me on course to become a money manager. A small incident of misinterpreting a question during an exam, altered the course of my career."
Reminds me of the quote - whatever happens, happens for good :)
