Client 1 [Ratan Tata]

"Sir Ratan Tata, the younger of group founder Jamsetji Tata's two sons, died in 1918 at the age of 47. A sensitive and artistic personality, Sir Ratan was a man whose ideas were far ahead of his time."

"Sir Ratan had a passion for the arts and enjoyed being able to indulge his well-developed aesthetic sense. He bought and built some of the most extraordinary, elegant homes, ranging from York House in Twickenham, England, which he bought from the Duc d'Orleans, to the elegant and exquisite mansion he built in Bombay, Tata House."
"His deep interest and discerning eye for art led to the finest collection of that time, which he bequeathed to the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay. Understanding the importance of arts and culture in human development, he wished that the widest cross-section of people have free access and opportunity to appreciate, value and gain as much as he did from his collection."



Client 2 [Zhang Yin]

"Ms Zhang is the 49-year-old founder of Nine Dragons Paper, which buys scrap paper from the US for use in China. Her wealth rose from $375m last year, when she was 36th in the annual China Rich List, compiled by Hurun Report."

"Ms Zhang is now the richest self-made woman in the world, ahead of US TV celebrity Oprah Winfrey and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. She takes over the top position from retail magnate Huang Guangyu of Gome Electrical Appliances."
"There are 35 women on the 500-strong Hurun list, which contains 15 billionaires, double the number from 2005. In July, Chinese president Hu Jintao called for greater measures to tackle the wealth gap. The divide has accelerated as market forces exert a greater control over the economy, which grew at 11.3% in the second quarter of 2006."

Client 3 [Carlos Slim]

By age 12, he had moved on to trading stocks and bonds. Before turning 30, he owned a soft-drink company and a stock brokerage. Now, at 67, Slim is the world's second-richest man and is closing quickly on Bill Gates, according to Forbes magazine's most recent rankings.
"I like numbers," he said. "Words speak to some people; to others of us it's numbers."
"When I die, I'm taking nothing with me," Slim said. He taps a balance sheet that shows the increasing value of his companies. "Everything I'm leaving is right here."

Preface: "Destiny", the Guide.

Destiny has neither place nor a time; destiny is nothing but inward mysticism. It is merely a repetition of events which each and one of us relate to a greater power so that it becomes comprehendible, so that we empower ourselves with a celestial justification.

As one ascends heaven, the path repeats over and over, always almost there, always searching and looking for that central point. One may travel to the right, and walk in opposition to the flow of destiny. One may go left and find themselves traveling within the roads of destiny. One may go straight and find a path around destiny to reach their ascension to that celestial place. One may even view back upon the roads taken and realize what it is they have sought.

But what is within the celestial place? The path is always shrouded by a mysticism that is indefinable until the final destination. And is the final destination what one thought it to be? One may search inwards, one may search outwards. But the answer is always within. The first step though, is to choose. Choose your path, choose your direction. Choose your destiny.

Used Quotes + Electroliquid Aggregation

Florence Nightingale - For what is Mysticism? Is it not the attempt to draw near to God, not by rites or ceremonies, but by inward disposition? Is it not merely a hard word for 'The Kingdom of Heaven is within'? Heaven is neither a place nor a time.

Stephen Hawkings - I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

Electroliquid Aggregation - For what is destiny, for what is God? Are these not the one and same? For there are always those who say everything is predestined, and there are those who search for ways to enter into The Kingdom of Heaven. These two may seem the same, but it is assured that both are different. Heaven is sought from the within, and that, of all things is chosen. Heaven is not predestined, and more importantly, destiny can be chosen.
