"A failed entrepreneur is one who quits and goes back to a job. If you're not a successful entrepreneur - it just means that you are not successful - yet! " -- Sanjeev Bikchandani (CEO naukri.com)

There are many times in one's life when one is inspired to do something different , sometimes that inspiration takes us to the greater heights , sometimes we are not able to achieve what we set for , but our thoughts does change in the end. It's said change your thoughts and it will change your life.

Yes currently I am deeply inspired after reading the book " Stay hungry Stay foolish by Rashmi Bansal" . The book has nothing to do with the phrase " Stay hungry Stay foolish given by Steve Jobs" It is a book about the 25 young and old entrepreneurs from the IIM-A. The book consist of 25 chapters the interviews of these 25 people , their stories of how they overcome their hardships and became successful enterpreneurs.

The one thing which I liked about the book is that of all the 25 people selected , each achieved or became successful enterpreneur in their own way. Some were young , some were old, some started their company right after they passed out of IIM , some worked for 15 to 20 years and then quit their job to became successful enterprenur , some even lived on their wife's income , but all these could not really stop them doing what they wanted. This self belief in them created companies like Makemytrip.com , naukri.com , Subhiksha and many more.

Personally I liked the story of Sanjeev Bikchandani the CEO of naukri.com , the first dotcom to IPO on an Indian stock exchange.

I will suggest all to read this book , buy it and keep this book.
