NEVER
GIVE UP
FROM THE CHIEF
CONSULTING
EDITORS DESK
THEY NEVER GAVE UP
She was born into a family of jhum cultivators of
Manipur. She helped her parents till the elds
and looked after her siblings. Brought up in
such a modest background, she never imagined
that she would one day win a medal for her
country at the Olympics. The woman I am talk-
ing about is Mary Kom, a true winner who,
without any formal training and money, has won
six gold medals at World Championships. This
year, she made India proud by winning a bronze
for the country. While better and more popular
athletes crashed out, this woman put up a tough
ght and achieved victory. Her story is the story
of a woman who never gave up.
Every cartoon this boy submitted was reject-
ed by his high school yearbook staff. Later on,
even Walt Disney refused to hire him. Yet, he
never gave up. Finally, in 1950, his dream of be-
coming a professional cartoonist was fullled as
his comic strip Peanuts was published. It soon
became a big hit and Charles Schulz was soon
earning $30,000 a year by 1953. The characters
of his cartoon strip became virtual heroes and
soon they were adorning cards, books, clothes,
lunchboxes, et al. Snoopy, one of Schulzs cre-
ations, was such a big hit that he soon became
the mascot of NASA in 1969. NASAs lunar ex-
cursion on the Apollo 11 mission was called
Snoopy! Ford used the characters from the car-
toon strip Peanuts to sell the Falcon. The char-
acters of Peanuts were also used for 15 years to
sell the products of Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. A man who faced a lot of rejections
and misery, but all the time kept his focus on
what he loved, Schulz nally showed the world
that quitters never win and winners never quit.
IT TAKES COURAGE TO
STAND UP
In life, things may not go as planned, but great
minds have the ability to rise to the occasion and
take up the challenge. As Washington Irving
once said, Little minds are tamed and subdued
by misfortune, but great minds rise above
them. Its these people who have achieved true
greatness. John Milton lost his eyesight, but it
did not deter him from writing Paradise Lost al-
most 16 years after losing his eyesight. Van
Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime,
that too, to one of his sisters friends for $50.
Yet, he never gave up painting and completed
800 paintings without feeling dejected; and all
the time totally believing in what he was doing.
Persistence pays, and is the deciding factor be-
tween winners & losers.
The exhibitions of the Impressionists art-
ists were routinely rejected by the Paris Salon.
They thought it was not art and refused to ac-
knowledge it. The artists never gave up and
continued their work. Today, there is hardly any-
one who remembers the name Paris Salon, but
anybody interested in art knows about the Im-
pressionist artists. In June 2008, the auction
house Christies London sold its most expen-
sive painting, that of Impressionist master
Claude Monet, for more than 40 million
pounds. Never ever in Europe had a painting
been sold at an auction for such a price. The
Impressionist painters never let the judgment
of Paris Salon pull them down. They never gave
up on what they believed in till the world gave
them their due.
He did not speak until he was four years old,
and couldnt read until he was seven. His par-
ents thought he was sub-normal. He was ex-
pelled from school and his teachers described
him as mentally slow, unsociable and adrip for-
ever in foolish dreams. Those were these fool-
ish dreams of his that transformed the world.
From opening a whole new world of Quantum
Physics to answering the question Why is the
sky blue?, he changed the way people under-
stood the world! Albert Einstein looked at things
differently and saw what others could not see.
Even the God particle would not have been
discovered had it not been for Einstein and the
support he gave to our own Indian scientist Sa-
tyendra Bose.
This boy failed in sixth grade and he was de-
feated in every ofce he stood for. But he did not
give up till at 62, he became the Prime Minister.
His name was Winston Churchill.
These and many more such success stories
have one thing in common; the people never
succumbed to adversity and never lost focus.
They relentlessly pursued their goals and be-
lieved in themselves even when the world gave
up on them. These people had the courage to
ght all odds.
IT TAKES COURAGE TO SIT
DOWN
As Winston Churchill once said, Courage is
what it takes to stand up and speak, courage is
also what it takes to sit down and listen. If suc-
cess comes with listening to your inner voice
and not letting others opinions overpower this
voice, it also comes when you have the courage
to listen to other people especially those who
dont agree with you. Success also comes when

FOR THE SEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW, ICMR-4Ps B&M BRING TO YOU THE COMPREHENSIVE M
AND COGENT LIST OF THE MOST VALUABLE BRANDS THAT MAKE INDIA INC. PROUD
I nd the outlook quite peo-
ple-centric and the case
study and ad hotspot sec-
tions quite intriguing. One
small grouse is that it would
be better for 4Ps to have a
more critical outlook towards
mediocre work & poor ad-
vertising standards.

Fantastic Ad-ranking
The last issue on Valuable brands
2012 was a decent effort on Indian
Inc. I also enjoy reading the Advertis-
ing stories in 4Ps B&M as the team
does a fantastic Ad-ranking by giving
importance to creativity. The Adver-
tising section is enhanced by great
sections like First Cut. It is a learn-
ing for me to see the effort that goes
on to make an ad. The Ad-section
rocks in 4Ps B&M. Good luck!
Deepak Mowar

Eric A. Morse

The magazine is a decent
read. The stories are ana-
lytical and have a refreshing
perspective for a reader. It is
certainly helpful in gaining
knowledge about Indian Inc.
and I would look forward to
see your spirit shaping up in
the future.
Dr. Bruce Johnstone
Lecturer, Craneld School

I have recently received 4Ps
Business & Marketing mag-
azine, and would say the
magazine is informative.
There was some nice collec-
tion of the articles that were
well researched and a good
analysis of advertisements.
Good job done!

Well rounded boon
I have now become habitual of going
through 4Ps Business & Marketing
magazine and would say it is a well
rounded boon for marketing profes-
sionals. It perfectly serves a nice
blend of great stories as they are in-
telligently structured and designed
as well. Its a reader friendly maga-
zine and is among the rst few stops
for my regular reading routine.

Niche magazine
4Ps Business & Marketing magazine
has created a niche for itself in the
marketing world and is certainly
commendable. Editorials are persua-
sive and are eye openers issue after
issue. My favourite is the Last Word
section due to its versatile nature and
I am a fan of it.

Concise & precise
The analysis and information about
new brands and their advertising
strategies have helped me culmi-
nate my intellect. I appreciate the
research work undertaken by the 4Ps
B&M analysts as what I get from this
magazine is something very concise
and precise.

Compiled knowledge
Recently, I started reading 4Ps B&M
magazine and it has been very help-
ful in understanding the corporate
sector in a comprehensive manner.
Ad reviews is the section I love the
most. The magazine does give more
literature about the market and the
industry than any of the magazines
in the circuit.

The magazine provides a
great deal of rened knowl-
edge and has been delivering
some lively stories in every
issue. I like the Rendezvous
section and also the supple-
ment on Power Women,
which deserves an genuine
applause from me.
Dhiraj Ahuja
Director-Strategy, Team

The spirit of highlighting
contemporary issues is just
amazing, but I want to see
your precise focus on the tel-
ecom and retail industry due
to their dynamic nature in
the upcoming issues. Over-
all, a decent job being done.
Biswarup Banerjee
Head-Marketing Commu-
nications, Ipsos
I would say that the maga-
zine is unique in many ways.
The columns from the inter-
national professors and the
Rendezvous section have a
brilliant focus and are a treat
to read on a regular basis.
Also, diverse issues are cov-
ered comprehensively.
Kindhuk Das
Analyst, Highmark Blue
Cross Blue Shield
I appreciate a magazine on
the basis of stories and 4Ps
Business & Marketing cer-
tainly raises its standards in
every issue. I have not seen
the brand journey section for
a while and would love to see
that again.
