Sudha Murty says happiness is a subjective subject
During an exclusive conversation with us, Sudha Murty was asked to share the secret to happiness. The notable figure said, "It's a highly subjective subject. It depends on person to person. For example, what I feel it's my content and I can tell that. I can make it a general rule for everybody. What should know what one can do, what cannot do. One should know one's plus, one's minus, one's strength, one's weakness and given set of circumstances because nobody is perfect. Whatever work is given if I can do, can maximize my effort and do that, I think you get the sense of content and then content is always your happiness."
She further added, "There's nothing to do with money, nothing to do with honors, nothing to do with your achievements but if you realize that this is the maximum thing I can do and I can achieve that much, the result may plus or minus you get the content and that's what has happened to me."
