I never calculate how many hours I work: PM to students

May 09, 2015 11:50

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took questions from students at the education city in the Naxal-hit Datewada district of Chhattisgarh. It is estimated to serve almost 5,000 most deprived children of the region every year by providing them the opportunity to have quality education.

Here's one such question asked by a student to the PM: You work for 18 hours a day. If you get stressed, what do you do?

PM's Response: I never calculate how many hours I work because the moment one does that it is not so enjoyable. One can never get tired while working, what tires a person is not being able to work. The more one works its better. When we live for our own people one cannot get tired. The people of India are my own. Won't I feel happy to work for them? I don't think life should be judged through the prism of success or failure. When we do that, disappointment sets in.
