#Covid19 reality check: One Noble Truth Is That Suffering Exists
Is suffering part of life? To live means to suffer because human nature is not perfect, and neither is the world we live in. During our lifetime we inevitably must endure physical suffering such as pain, sickness, injury, tiredness, old age, and eventually death.

While still alive most of us would prefer peace, comfort, and happiness. Yet life…
How to formulate a #covid19 response and recovery strategy and work plan
Are you winning or losing to the coronavirus pandemic? The economy, businesses, and lives have been disrupted. Now is the time to put in place a response strategy to respond to the covid19 challenge.

Why Indian families succeed in business than most African ones
I have noticed that Asians – Indians and Chinese work more as a team than Africans. In all countries where Indians operate, they live better lives and run successful businesses. Their success is attributed to a better understanding of how the world works. They do not believe in individualism. A father will allow the children to marry in their home. For example, you have a very rich man like Sudhir Ruparelia, having his son to marry and live in the same house! Yes, the house is big.
