Iwould like to share with you some inspiring thoughts to enthuse you to greater heights in exports as well as in other entreprene­urial activities. These inspiring thoughts were taken from a book entitled Management Thoughts by Promod Batra. Here goes: •Nothing dies faster than a new idea in a closed mind.

•You can hardly make a friend in a year, but you can lose one in an hour.

•There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.

•The first test of a truly great man is his humility.

•Never answer a letter while you are angry.

• What I give out, I get back. I give out only goodness and, in turn, only goodness comes back to me.

•The greatest mark of man’s being flawless is that he does not seek flaws in others.

•Crossing your bridges when you come to them and exploiting opportunit­ies when they come your way are the real secrets of success in this world.

•The minor mistake is sometimes a major improvemen­t.

•Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education.

•A gentleman is a man who can disagree without being disagreeab­le.

•Never fight with a man who has nothing to lose.
