Here is Good News for

Everyone!

No failure can stop you on your journey, provided you maintain
your positivity. It is your positive thinking that matters and not
the negative experience.

amsetji Nusserwanji Tata (1839 – 1904) was an Indian
Jpioneer industrialist, best known as the founder of the
Tata Group, India's biggest conglomerate company. His
story gives us a great lesson. Once he wanted to book a
room in the Watson's Hotel in Bombay. At that time,
the hotel did not permit Indians, who were non-white.
In British India, hotels accepted only European guests.
Apparently, this was a sad experience for Jamsetji Tata.
But he did not become negative about it. He decided
rather to open up his own grand hotel, greater than
the Watson's Hotel. For this he drew up a unique plan.
He travelled to London, Paris, Berlin and Düsseldorf to
take ideas and arrange for materials and pieces of art,
furniture and interior artefacts for his hotel. Jamsetji
Tata was denied entry in a Bombay hotel, but his vision
gave him a greater entry into the whole world. The result
was that after a long effort, he opened the greater grand
luxury hotel Taj Mahal Palace & Tower on December

191
