With today’s blog post, we showcase another winning question from our recent Ask Donald J. Trump contest

About Rajesh . . .

A native of Nepal, Rajesh Kumar Shakya is the three-time winner of The Best Entrepreneur in Information Technology Award, one of the prestigious Boss Top 10 Business Excellence Awards in Nepal. Rajesh is an entrepreneur, trainer, motivational speaker and consultant for many businesses, e-governance and IT projects. He holds a masters degree in computer engineering (with honors) and is on the visiting faculties of various universities and colleges including Kathmandu University and Kathmandu College of Management.

As a consultant, Rajesh currently serves as Reengineering Specialist at Asian Development Bank. He is also Chairman of Hightehvalley iNet, an ISO 9001:2000-certified software-development company that provides offshore services to companies in the USA, Canada, UK, Denmark, Japan and Belgium.

If that were not enough, Rajesh also writes a very interesting blog that helps entrepreneurs and technopreneurs to excel. He speaks at national and international conferences, workshops and seminars; and also writes frequently on topics that include entrepreneurship, leadership, e-governance, online business, project management, emerging technology and personal development.

With credentials like those, it is no wonder that Rajesh submitted a winning question to our contest. Let’s take a closer look.

Rajesh’s Winning Question to Donald J. Trump . . .

“When you are at the peak of success, how do you manage not to fall from there? What do you enjoy most, success or the journey to success?”

And the answer from Donald J. Trump . . .

“The two most important things to consider are focus and momentum. If you lose either one of them, it's hard to stay at the peak of your form. Safeguard them both and your chances for continued success are much greater.

“I am fortunate in that I enjoy the process as well as the finished result. I enjoy the daily work involved and so I find the journey interesting--but success is the goal. Winning is important to me, in a way it's like sports--playing the game is great but winning is even better.”

Coming next week - more winning questions! Stay tuned.

Now by the way in which Donald has answered this question I can't believe that he loves what he does to the degree I imagined.

When I figure skated I attended many test days and competitions. My rivals would dig for sensitive nerves to shake me and there was never a sensitive nerve to be found. I simply loved attending these events and in this love never had a moment where I was scared of loosing.

I wasn't worried about loosing because I loved every moment and in each moment I had within myself already won the event just by my mere presents at any given event.

I have always known a true skater because they were relaxed and winning or loosing wasn't even in the equation.

I find those who place emphasis on the importance of winning haven't ever really won at all and they are the most vulnerable and weakest players on the market.

Perhaps this does not make sense to most shareholders who play the gambit but that is my take on the matter, and it has gone a long way towards allowing me to grow old gracefully with a sense of dignity that no one can shake no matter what.

Wow - What a High Achiever. Those are some very impressive credentials, Rajesh.

I liked your question to begin with, but after reading Donald Trump's answer, I am even more appreciative that the question was selected.

I think it is often that experts talk about things like focus and passion and persistence. I cannot recall anyone else talking about the concept of momentum. It's not really a concept I understand to a great degree, but I have heard Trump mention it before. He definitely places a high value on it.

Great Job, Rajesh. Thank you.
