Ratan Tata’s 20 popular quotes

Ratan Ttata

Rama Krishna Sangem

Eminent Indian business leader & Padma Vibhushan awardee Ratan Tata passed away at 86 on October 9 Wednesday. 86, as per Indian standards, is a ripe age to pass away. But, for most, Ratan looked very young and we all felt it is too early for him to leave us. This is because of his young at heart persona and willingness always to learn more and embrace the change. Ratan Naval Tata was born on 28 December 1937.

 

Here are 20 of his popular quotes that reflect his personality. 

1. “I don’t believe in taking right decisions. I take decisions and then make them right.”
2. “Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.”
3. “None can destroy iron, but its own rust can. Likewise, none can destroy a person but his own mindset can.”
4. “There are many things that, if I have to relive, maybe I will do it another way. But I would not like to look back and think what I have not been able to do.”
5. “If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together.”
6. “Take the stones people throw at you. And use them to build a monument.”
7. “Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes.”
8. “I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.”
9. “The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me.”
