22. If a young person comes to you and ask for advice on starting
what would you tell him?
Fahim Mashroor have told few things that worked for us:
Passion is your biggest capital. Work for passion. Don’t work for some extrinsic
motivation that often does not last.
Be Patient because everything takes time.
Never be dishonest. Honesty is still the best policy,
Be dedicated to your work
Work harder than the person next to you and there is no other way
Focus. Your resource and capacity is limited and it is used best when you focus.
And never give up. Giving up is not an entrepreneurial style.
