You learn a lot from your own experiences, but movies do play a pivotal role in teaching life lessons. The great dialogues and amazing backdrop of emotions just help us to connect dots in our lives, and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Guru’ is one such movie! Abhishek Bachchan has played many roles in his career, but ‘Gurukant Desai’ was one of the best characters he portrayed so far.
On the occasion of Guru completing 10 years, we give you a lowdown on 7 management lessons to learn from Gurukant Desai.
Believe in yourself:
Gurukant always wanted to risk his life and career and start his own business, for which his dad always stood against him. Despite the lack of support, Gurukant believed in himself, and worked hard and went on to achieve his dreams.
Self-assurance:
Entering into the world of business ain’t an easy job. Even if one has the best ideas to work upon, lack of confidence will take you nowhere. And that’s what Guru Bhai tries to tell us in the entire movie. Trust your instincts, and see, the world turns out to be in your favor!
Be wise:
Guru comes to Mumbai to fulfill his dreams as an entrepreneur, and he experiences a lot of hurdles to achieve them. Guru Bhai tries his best to overcome every situation and plays it wisely to reach the ladder of success.
Ask for what you want:
Everyone desires a lot from life, but how many times do we try to fulfill that desire? Some of them just get lost in reality and for a few, we hesitate to even think about achieving it. The idea of “Maangoge toh milega” has been nicely explained in ‘Guru’.
Ignore your haters:
Haters gonna hate and all you can do is cut them out. In the journey of life, we’ll meet only a few who will help to achieve your dreams or at least stand by you in your bad times.
Have someone to share your success:
Focus is all you need to achieve success, but that doesn’t mean you cut off everyone from your life. We all need some support throughout the journey, someone, who believes in us and has faith in us. Never leave that hand, guys.
Be an opportunist:
Guru Bhai was a risk-taker and he does not leave a chance to grab the opportunity, which further led him towards achieving his dreams.
Even if it was just a movie, it did stay with us for a very long time.
