What's the role of aggressiveness and personal confidence in success?

1) In 1993, when I was 29, I wore my best suit and went to the office of Commerce & Industry Minister Kirugi M'mukindia.... #MondayMotivation
2) I wanted to invite him for the launch of an organisation I had founded called 'Kenya Youth Finance & Entrepreneurship Association'. In those days, some Ministers in the Moi government were demigods, so I was a bit apprehensive.
3) But I told myself that the only negative reply I could get was a "NO", and so I trudged on. I was pleasantly surprised when the Minister agreed to be the guest of honour.
4) It was an eye-opener. In life, you must make things happen. Network. Wear a smile, a suit and confidence. The fear of being told "NO" shouldn't cripple you. If you encounter a wall, climb over, break through or go around it.

@adamscrabble @lilchiva @rravi @MaxiOesing We can do a story.
1. The Indian Foreign Exchange Management Act compliance under Reserve Bank of India which is the Central Bank. The Act requires certain compliance for which there is a vigilance agency Enforcement Directorate @dir_ed which also investigates money laundering
@adamscrabble @lilchiva @rravi @MaxiOesing 2. The Commerce Ministry @CimGOI has a Department for Industrial Policy and Promotion @DIPPGOI which has recently been renamed Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)
India has traditionally prohibited foreign companies from various sectors (see coca cola)
@adamscrabble @lilchiva @rravi @MaxiOesing @CimGOI @DIPPGOI 3. Retail has always been closed for outside investors. However since 1991, there has been demand by MNCs like Metro, Walmart to open this sector in order to "improve supply chains", "benefit consumers", etc
There was talk in 2000 to open it up but met with huge opposition

I grew up a poor immigrant & spent much of my childhood killing roaches w/99 cent slippers.

My public HS had every race, nationality; poor, affluent. But #success had nothing to do w/any of those. Just stable home+effort. Everyone must learn the power to fix both is theirs.

Left-leaning @BrookingsInst ID's 3 factors that guarantee #success in life:
-finish high school
-get a full-time job
-wait until 21 to get married & have kids

We've ALL internalized these & most of us try to live by them.

So why are we OK holding the poor to lower standards?

Because they're poor? Or minorities? Or because we feel guilty or uncomfortable?

Photographer #RaymondDepardon visited #Glasgow in 1980 on assignment from the Sunday Times. The job was to photograph affluence & poverty, neither were something Glasgow was short of. But the affluence of Glasgow in 1980 was discreet, largely retreated to neighbouring suburbs.
This once metropolis had torn - and was continuing to tear- itself apart. The brick and ashlar edifices that lined the gridded streets, the great architectural baubles and trinkets that two centuries of commerce & industry had built were disappearing. So too were its people.
How could you plan for life when there's no certainty your workplace, house, your street, your entire district will stand for any length of time. What is hope when decrepitude stands on every other corner, whole streets of empty tenements lined up waiting for their execution.
