Jesus was crucified, Osho Rajneesh was slow poisoned, Socrates was poisoned, Aristotle was jailed and called insane…all because they never COMPROMISED on what they thought was RIGHT! They had an opinion, they had a view, and they had a thought, which they felt was correct and stuck to that till the end, undeterred - come what may!

The world is created and run by God and not by Corporate Bigwigs! If they think so, they are the biggest fool on the planet. Even when a Prime Minister of a country dies, except for Doordarshan none mourns for more than 2 minutes - the world goes on!

Stop all the communication devices, shut down all the factories, close down all the companies - you think the WORLD will stop functioning? The Sun still will rise from the east, the earth still will grow cereals, the tree still will bear fruit, the birds still will chirp, the river still will flow, the ocean still will form waves and mankind still will survive!

As the Upanishads start with a beautiful line – ‘There is nothing good or bad in this world, everything is RELATIVE’! None is right and none is wrong, and everyone has the right to think and present his/her views the way he wants. That is the simple difference between democracy and dictatorship!

I have met few people who hate to put their foot down just because they think by doing it they would rub the wrong side of their superiors, which might affect their promotion and appraisal possibility end of the year! Remember you work for the company’s growth, and not for your personal growth, and you HAVE TO PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN when you think your boss is wrong. You boss is NO GOD, and he is a simple human being who can err, do mistakes and make blunders as any other person.

Remember Akbar loved Birbal, because he was the only man who always rebelled and was honestly concerned about the welfare of the kingdom. And also Chandragupta Maurya admired Chanakya for his originality…and for your information the punishment in those days to rebel against the King was BEHEADING!
