"Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6pm until 8pm. We have the cheapest beer in Mumbai."
Rahul Bhatia, Chief Executive of IndiGo Airlines - the so called cheap airline in India, after arriving at a hotel in Mumbai, went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness.
The barman nodded and said, "That will be ₹50 please, Mr. Bhatia."
"Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6pm until 8pm. We have the cheapest beer in Mumbai."
"I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be ₹150 please."
Rahul scowled, but paid up.
He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman.
"I think you may be too big for the seat Sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please."
Rahul attempts to sit down, but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in
"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame, you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of ₹250 for your seat sir."
Rahul swore to himself, but paid up.
"I see that you have brought your laptop with you," added the barman.
Rahul was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager!"
"I see you want to use the counter..." says the barman,
Rahul's face was red with rage. "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do, Mr. Bhatia!"
"I've had enough! What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this?
I insist on speaking to a manager!"

It\u2019s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it\u2014even if progress is imperfect and slow.
Action relieves anxiety.

We often avoid taking action because we think "I need to learn more," but the best way to learn is often by taking action.
