Live, work for a purpose: Subhash Chandra
Noida, March 17
Zee and Essel Group chairman
Subhash Chandra has asked students to live and work towards a purpose
since that adds more real meaning to one's life than dreams.
"The
purpose of your life and the dream of your life are two different
things. They shouldn't be mixed. Learning things with a purpose in life
is far better than learning without a purpose," Chandra said.
"There
would have been no misery and discontent in the world if acquiring and
enjoying wealth was the only purpose of humans," he told the students of
Amity University here in a talk that will be featured in the next "Dr.
Subhash Chandra Show" on Zee channels.
Chandra's self-made group
has interests in a host of areas ranging from trading and packaging to
theme parks and multiplexes. He also carved one of India's largest TV
media groups besides launching an English language newspaper.
During
his talk, Chandra also spoke about what one could and must do with
one's life without further delays. "Don't wait for the final 24 hours of
your life. Prepare your bucket list today and start working on it," he
said.
"I urge you to accept the realities of your life and not
run away from your fears. The moment you do that, you will be successful
and happy. Living life is an art and the technique comes to us
naturally and gradually."
