Lessons from a old man

Every person you meet knows more or teaches a lesson worthwhile. 
The best part of my work is meeting new people everyday. And as usual we were about to meet a well known business man for building a relationship with us. 
Generally, we have any contact number and with a right appointment we tend to visit them as per convenience by the person. But unlike other cases this time we just had address, name of the gentleman and that's all. 
But as they say- your will take your destination. We looked for the found address for more than twenty minutes and then follows his place. All it took time to find the person and his place; every passerby you would ask he would point out the other lane and leave a hint of the person being the owner of the locality. Such big statute and personally I feared to meet. After a long search for address we found his place with the help of a colleague. 
We 3 stand before the door, and knocked the door for numerous numbers to find a man. 
Whom do you need? The man asked, seems to be working.
Abhimanyu Saha, we said. Is this their house? We asked as if to confirm and not get into an undesired place.
Yes, wait, he responded and went inside to ask the owner. 
After few minutes he comes and opens the door. 
And wow, as he opens the door the big beautiful villa, with garden and plantation around, the tennis court and the bounded area posh. 
The men took us to a place where he was just working on his PC and we greeted him. 
He responded warmly and welcomed us. 
Get some water, he said to his men.
The room was dome shaped, wooded flooring, light as if the best, little bit on the dark side. He switched on the study light on his desk to get us clear view of his work. He was old about in his 60s and we begin our discussion from our business deals, to well being , and so on. We were fond of the place and person.
He enquired about us, each one and we discussed more about building relationship with our organization.
As we discussed from his old days, what he does in a day etc. We came to know about his love towards literature. He loves to read and takes time from his busy schedule. He exactly, quoted, " one must live according to his or taste". 
Coincidentally, one of our colleague loves to read. He said to him about his favourite authors and the recent book he has got so on. 
Three points he mentioned that would worth to note.
* You earn most success to show others or in a way all success you achieve is for the people. The real success is about you, what you love, what you do and that which can be with you till last breath.
* You have to fight hard for things you love, your passion ( he meant for the colleague who reads & writes). Fight hard never let that die.

After a 45 mins discussion, we got wishing him. He calls back as the colleague who writes leaves, he said " You have to read a lot to write a little". 
A tip for every writers. 

Exactly, life is haste the more successful people say this, money is just suffice the material stuffs but two smart points to learn from successful people.
* Find a balance between money and others that matters.
* Find something that will stay longer, as you get older, the big villa won't matter, the riches doesn't matter.
