168 hours in a week
minus 70 hours a week of work (10 hours a day)
minus 56 hours of sleep a week (8 hours a day)
minus 21 hours for eating and bathing a week (allocating a generous 3 hours a day for this)
= 21 hours a week of TOTALLY FREE TIME
How much more free time do people need?
At present, 50 crores of people working 48 hours a week has led to maybe 10 people becoming wealthy and rich.
So, if those 50 crores of people start working 70 hours a week, how many people will it lead to becoming wealthy and rich?
Answer: The same 10!
avg wage tripled
denial is a river in egypt
if anyone tells you to have a life, enjoy the roses etc. - you're wasting time, why aren't you working? how can you spare 3 mins just like that? work is all there is. You can go mountain climbing when you're 50, as you should. Then if your glaring black hole of a life wants you to jump, that's that.
My lit friends (actual litigators and not of a firm's lit team) laugh when they read LI comments.
do your lit friends laugh at the salary threads as well?
Re health and stress, your body can easily take this in your 20s. After that you can slow down. Note that Murthy is referring to YOUNGSTERS.

They "vyaparam droha chintanam" meaning business is about cheating people
You just can't expect both to go hand in hand. To expect that is childish vanity.
But yeah enforcing and preventing harm with laws and stuff to the best one can, one may. To whatever extent one can be efficient, one may try. But one can't be too successful in that imo.
after all you are the nations pride industrialist SIR
