Just sent Anil from Airport to NUS Visitor's Lodge. Was a long trip on the cab, and we chatted. Had a free one to one inspirational session with him. He told me when he was abt 25, he already got his Ashoka membership as a fellow. When he was abt 17 or 18, he visited rural parts of Nepal and started some projects. Right now working on the solar energy and bringing them to villages. Most of all, he is such a simple man with no airs.
Some quotable quotes from cab ride:
"If you wake up in the morning and don't like what u are doing, u shd quit yr job."
"You shdn't wait too long or u would just get comfortable"
Anil: "You shd tell a man to imagine getting to the other side of the river, instead of giving him the materials to build a boat. Even if you give him all the materials, and tell him step by step what to do, if he has no imagination, he will no't build the boat. Imagination is important."
XJ:"What if I have no materials?"
Anil:"Imagination is impt. U have no materials, the government doesn't allow u to ride a boat, the river is closed, if u have imagination, u will still get to the other side anyway."
