Now, I have to make a special announcement to all our listeners out there. We are going to have an amazing guest next week, Prem Jain. Now, Prem Jaina has not sold one, but multiple companies to Cisco, and he's now the chief executive officer and founder of Pensando Systems, a company that is being raged about here in Silicon Valley. Now, we had to make this a special announcement just because we know how special this interview is going to be. I already got questions for him to ask him about what Jainism is, how to balance that work-life balance, how to sell not one, but multiple companies to a Fortune 100. The list of questions are just flowing through my mind right now, and I'm super excited. So, everyone out there, I just have to announce, next week's episode is going to be a special. All right, stay tuned for The Silicon Valley Tech Podcast with Sunil S Ranka and Shawn Flynn. You know, you can achieve or you can do certain things. I think to me, the most important thing which I found works is... One is the time management. You need to really know the time management, because it's very important that, you know, you have to be very efficient because if you want to do certain things. Second thing is, I found is that what you like to do, you always have time. It's very, very important because if you are doing it just for sake of doing it, okay, forget it. I'm not going to do it.
I'm not doing it for my heart. So, I think it has to come from your heart, whatever you're doing it. Third is you need to balance between the family and everything else which you do.
