建議: 今天的付出會換來明天的回報

????1974年，28歲的納拉雅納?穆爾蒂是一位政治左傾的工程師。那年，在從法國回印度的火車上，他和一位乘客聊起了“住在一個鐵幕國家的痛苦”。他說：“我們的談話被一幫警察打斷了，后來我推斷這些警察是一個年輕人召來的，他認為我們正在批評保加利亞的共產黨政府?！?/p>

????穆爾蒂被拖出車廂，關在一間沒有食品和水的小房間里長達72小時后，之后又被扔上另一輛出站的火車上，最后才在伊斯坦布爾獲釋。這段經歷令穆爾蒂對左翼不再抱有任何好感，也最終幫助他成為了印度、乃至全球最成功的資本家之一。他意識到如果他想成為一個改革派，那必須是在一個與共產主義格格不入的系統中。

????他證明了印度可以承擔起傳統上是西方國家后花園的軟件開發工作，與全球展開競爭。穆爾蒂是印孚瑟斯（Infosys）的六位共同創始人之一，擔任公司的首席執行官長達21年，幫助推動了外包革命，為印度經濟帶來了幾十億美元的財富，并將這個國家變成了全球的后臺支持部。

????他的重要經驗：一個從零起步的組織必須要有一個經得起考驗的價值體系，能聚攏一批人?！澳蔷褪墙裉斓母冻鼋K將成就明天的回報，”現年65歲、仍擔任著名譽董事長一職的穆爾蒂解釋稱?！八馕吨母冻?，努力工作，挫折失意，遠離家人，而唯一的希望就是，未來的某一天終將獲得足夠的回報?！?/p>

10. Narayana Murthy

Company: Infosys

Sales: $6.0 billion

Market Value: $32 billion

Employees: 145,088

Advice: Sacrifice today, cash in tomorrow.

????In 1974, Narayana Murthy was a 28-year-old politically left-leaning engineer on his way home to India from France. During his journey on a train, he struck up a conversation with one of the passengers "about the travails of living in an Iron Curtain country." He says: "We were interrupted by some policemen who, I later gathered, were summoned by a young man who thought we were criticizing the Communist government of Bulgaria."

????Murthy was dragged out of the train and left in a small room without food or water for 72 hours, then thrown back on another departing train and released in Istanbul. His treatment purged Murthy of any affinity he had for the left and would ultimately help make him one of India's and the world's most successful capitalists. If he was to be a reformer, he realized, it would have to be through a system that was rejected by the Communists.

????He proved that India could compete with the world by taking on the software development work that had long been the province of the West. As one of six co-founders of Infosys and the CEO for 21 years, Murthy helped spark the outsourcing revolution that has brought billions of dollars in wealth into the Indian economy and transformed his country into the world's back office.

????His important lesson: An organization starting from scratch must coalesce around a team of people with an enduring value system. "It is all about sacrifice today, fulfillment tomorrow," explains Murthy, 65, who is now chairman emeritus. "It is all about sacrifice, hard work, lots of frustration, being away from your family, in the hope that someday you will get adequate returns from that."
