Abstract
If you want to succeed in life, you should strike new paths rather than travel paths of accepted success. (John D. Rockfeller.)
The above statement has guided me through my four decades of professional life to a great extent. I graduated in 1947, the year of our independence from British rule, from College of Engineering and Technology, Bengal, Jadavpur, in Mechanical Engineering.
If you want to succeed in life, you should strike new paths rather than travel paths of accepted success.
John D. Rockfeller
