Team: Eternal Optimists

Our learnings from the inspirational Arvind Eye Hospital video re as follows:

1. We must be open to learnings from the best practices in other unrelated industries

2. We all have the ability to achieve miraculous and seemingly impossible goals, we just have to believe in ourselves.

3. This world is not as bad a place as many of us think. After initial difficulties, people do come forward to support you if you are working for a good cause.

4. Age is never a barrier for starting anything new. One only needs to overcome his mental barriers.

5. We must have a vision and a purpose in our lives. Without it we won't be able to make any difference.

6. Skilled people must utilize their talents in such a manner that it benefits the maximum possible number of people and not just their near and dear ones.
