Ground stories from defence forces

Ground stories from defence forces always inspire me because soldiers combat with their enemy while common men combat with their practical challenges on the ground. There exists lot of relevance and practical learning when we listen to the ground stories from defence forces.

On this backdrop, I came across below inspiring interview of Minti Agarwal, the first woman Indian Air Force (IAF) Squadron Leader who was awarded with the Yudh Seva Medal on 15th August 2019.


Key take-a-ways from this interview.

1. Absolute focus is the key in any profession. If you have focus, you have everything with you.
2. Your attitude is your altitude.
3. If you like what you do, you will never get stressed.
4. Listen to your inner voice. At critical times, it sets you on the right orbit without getting stressed.
5. Values does matter. Behavior blended with values connects you towards nobler goals.
6. Respect your duty. Your duty will earn you satisfaction and respect.
7. Confidence blended with hard-work and passion speaks for itself.
8. Efficient training matters. Without top-notch training, you cannot be effective and efficient.
9. It's always the team work! Not "I", it is always "We".

Hearty Congratulations Minti Agarwal. Great job done. We are proud of you!
