THE LEADER What do you call a man who hates to
lose? A winner?
That is too easy, too glib, and buries the story. All
Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani ever wanted to be is
the biggest there ever is, the best there ever was. He
wanted a piece of the action — preferably all of it
14. . Winners focus, mastering the ability to
accomplish. And Shri Dhirubhai was the master of
masts. This is the first lesson we learn from him: be
focussed on whatever you plan to do till you achieve
it.
He was always open- minded. He was hungry for
new ideas and never discounted any idea or person.

minded, because when you have an open mind you
assimilate more, become solution-oriented and make
more progress in life.

was worthy of his dream. He said you will become
the person you believe yourself to be.

important asset.
