 A TRIBUTE TO
DHIRUBHAI AMBANI
LESSONS TO LEARN FROM
HIS LIFE
Poor people can't be successful: Dhirubhai was
born in a poor family, started from scratch yet he
became one of the richest people in the world. Your
starting point won't matter if you are serious
about success.

Starting late is Ok: Dhirubhai was 32 when he

founded his second company. When you have a goal
that you are passionate about then the starting time
won't matter.

I failed so I can't succeed Dhirubhai failed as well when

he ended his first partnership but because he kept moving
he realized his dreams and made them true
WHAT DID
