One book that changed my life, my thinking and my level of confidence, without any doubt has to be Subroto Bagchi’s “GO KISS THE WORLD”. These were the very words that his dying blind mother told him before her last breath.
He’s perfectly tagged it as Life Lessons for The Young Professional. At the end of each chapter, he summarizes the learning’s from that chapter.
But apart from this what impressed me the most is that he, like many of us, is a small town boy and has fought his way up and achieved his goals.
There is one particular passage that I immensely liked in this book, which almost comes towards the end of the book. After completing the Six Sigma Quality training at the Motorola University I Chicago, on his way back to the airport, he shared a ride with a colonel from the US army. The conversation invariably leads to family and kids. Like Mr. Bagchi, she also had two children and both being parents, the conversation invariably led to the challenges of parenting. She made a statement that Mr. Bagchi says remained with him forever, which also opened my eyes. She said that all that good parents can do is inculcate in their children the sense that when they make a choice, they also chose the consequences.
A simple statement with a profound truth in it!
Amidst the variety of learning’s that I got from the book, this stood out to me, probably because while reading this passage the erroneous decisions that I have taken in my life passed by my eyes like a trailer of a movie.

After reading this statement, every time I have to make a decision, I stand back and look at the big picture trying to analyze the consequence of each of the choices I have. This has improved my decision making skills. All thanks to Mr. Bagchi!!!
