'Failure Is Not Opposite Of Success, It Is...': Gautam Adani Encourages Youth To Dream Big
Adani stressed the importance of instilling strong values in children. "Your children get more than just your wealth; they get your values"
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said on Monday that dreams are not a privilege for the wealthy, but a reward for those who dare to believe and work tirelessly. He said this while speaking at an event at the Adani International School in Ahmedabad.
Addressing an audience of students, parents, and educators, he highlighted the importance of dreams, hard work, and resilience in achieving success. Reflecting on his journey, Adani recalled starting with no roadmap, resources, or connections, but with a strong desire to build something meaningful.
"I would dream of this every single day. And as I look back -- I can say that dreams are not the privilege of the rich. They are the reward of those who dare to believe and work tirelessly," he said. Adani stressed the rise of the Adani Group as India's fastest-growing conglomerate, stating that the company's success is not just about building businesses, but about creating a broader impact.
"Every decision we made, every risk we took, was driven by one goal: how can we create something that serves the greater good? It has been about having the courage to give wings to our dreams and tenacity to fly higher and faster than anybody else" he said.
He encouraged young minds to dream big and have the determination to overcome challenges.
Acknowledging the inevitability of failure, Adani remarked, "Failures will come, and setbacks will test you, but remember this: failure is not the opposite of success it is the most important companion to success. The only difference between ordinary and extraordinary success is resilience -- the courage to rise after every fall.”
Adani stressed the importance of instilling strong values in children. "Your children get more than just your wealth; they get your values. Equip them with resilience, empathy, and the ability to serve others. Encourage them to explore, to innovate, to dream. But also give them roots so they never forget the soil they came from," he advised.
He concluded with a message for the students, urging them to carry the spirit of India wherever life leads them.
"Success is not just about personal achievements; it's about creating a better world for others. Educate them that wherever life takes them -- whether they choose to build their future here or abroad -- they must carry the spirit of India with them," Adani concluded.
