In this episode, Jam shares about his recent trip to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. He also discusses his father's inspiring life story, from being an orphan to becoming a successful man. The key takeaway is that success is not defined by material wealth, but by achieving personal fulfilment. Nimal's journey from a poor village boy to a successful and respected individual is a testament to his determination, resilience, and commitment to learning. Despite facing numerous challenges, including poverty, lack of resources, and limited opportunities, Nimal managed to overcome them through hard work and a passion for education. He excelled in his studies, secured a government job, and continued to improve himself throughout his career. Nimal's success can be attributed to his honesty, gratitude, and willingness to go above and beyond. He never forgot the people who helped him along the way and always sought ways to give back to his community. Nimal's story serves as an inspiration for others to persevere and strive for success.Our Library - What we are currently reading:Dylan - The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: https://amzn.to/3ypkk7M Jam -  Turn the ship around: https://amzn.to/4bta4K0 Follow us on all your favourite platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuestforSuccessPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Quest-For-Success-Podcast/61560418629272/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequestforsuccesspod/Twitter: https://x.com/quest4success_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-quest-for-successTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequestforsuccesspodWebsite: www.thequestforsuccesspodcast.com Please share this around to anyone you think will get value from it : )
