Inspiring Ratan Tata Quotes on Life, Leadership & Innovation
Ratana Tata’s words on leadership and philanthropy reflect on ethical business practices, social responsibility and innovation. Here are some of his inspirational quotes.
A tough and insensitive person may not feel the need to take action
When you see in places like Africa and parts of Asia abject poverty, hungry children and malnutrition around you, and you look at yourself as being people who have well-being and comforts, I think it takes a very insensitive, tough person not to feel they need to do something.
Stand up for what is right and fair
Apart from the values and ethics I have tried to live by, the legacy I would like to leave behind is a very simple one — that I have always stood up for what I consider to be the right thing and tried to be as fair and equitable as I could be.
Be innovative
If there are challenges thrown across, then some interesting, innovative solutions are found. Without challenges, the tendency is to go on the same way.
Be aware of the misinformation
People still believe what they read is necessarily the truth.
Turning wounds into wisdom
Take the stones people throw at you, and use them to build a monument.
Risk and reward
The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that is changing quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
Your own mindset can destroy you
None can destroy iron, but its own rust can. Likewise, no one can destroy a person, but their own mindset can.
Never underestimate how powerful kindness can be
Never underestimate the power of kindness, empathy, and compassion in your interactions with others.
Believe in work-life integration and not work-life balance
I don’t believe in work-life balance. I believe in work-life integration. Make your work and life meaningful and fulfilling, and they will complement each other.
