TOTAL AVERAGE

Rahat Talreja
Vice President – CSS India Operations

Jim Rohn says, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

I’ll refine it further to say that these are five people that occupy your mind space and not necessarily physical proximity always.

You can apply this to your own life and see if it holds.

There are a set of words and thoughts that you constantly encounter, and your mind is occupied with them all the time.

Let’s take an example of a Carvels Ice cream store owner in Lynbrook, Long Island, New York. The words and thoughts resonating in his mind always are: Flavours, to promote the ice cream of the season, Lynbrook LIRR station to give directions to his customers, Weather to see if its summer enough for his clients to order ice cream, and so on.

Now take a flight and come to India.

The words that constantly resonate in a working Indians life and office are as follows :
