Last year I read the bestseller by Jack Welch - Winning, which helped taking many bold decisions in my business and in my life.
That is one of the must read book by entrepreneurs and professional managers.
I remember, I had written in some of my articles about Winning. Winning is different for different person. When I am waiting for green light on cross roads, I often get stopped by street children selling two page newspapers. If they sell their quota at Rs. one per copy, they make their day. They WIN their day. Value of winning is different for everybody.

Yesterday I was watching a TV show “Indian Idol”- one of the most popular musical show in India. Participants are competing to win the fame of “the Indian Idol”. Shabana Azmi - one of the best actresses in India and intellectual celebrity was the guest judge. She expressed a very powerful message to the participants. “Play to win. If you play, play to win. You need a killer instinct to win.” Competition has reached at the stage, where a mediocre performance will eliminate any participant. Each performance should exceed the excellence. No chances of excuses. People don’t care about the past performances. Fans of the contesting singers are competing themselves betting to make their stars win.

This is a big lesson for the entrepreneurs as well. You single wrong move may bring you down to earth. If you are confident and want to win, play like a winner and put your killer instinct to win.
