Nice interview

I read a nice interview in the Times of India today, thought I should share this with you,

JP MORGAN CHASE Chairman “ Mr Jamie Dimon’s life comes straight out of a Jefferey Archer’s Novel”

He was hired out of the Harvard Business School by a billionaire who became like a father to him & soon he went on to become the top guy of Citibank, Dimon was widely seen as the successor to the Chairman “ Mr Weill”,but was actually fired ( speculation has it that he Dimon passed Weill’s daughter over for a promotion)

When this interviewer went to him, he mentioned Mr Weill asked him to resign for revenue being down & for non performance,he immediately called his wife, his youngest daughter asked him whether they would have to sleep on the street,the middle one asked him “whether she could still go to college” & the eldest asked him,if she could have his cell phone as he would no longer need it.

After laughing on this,he went on to say,that when he lost his job,he was treated like a leper,but then he changed things believing that everyone has their ups & down not just in business,but in Life too.

Inspite of loosing his job at Citi,he still holds no crudge with them,today JP Morgan has surged far head of the crisis ridden Citigroup ,he firmly believes that we can compete with each other ,but when you are in trouble ,I would rather help you out,its a terrible mistake to measure yourself by someone else doing badly I want us to grow for us.

Nice philosophy.
