In late 1980s, I was controlling a large staff, which had their own personal problems, but slowly the staff members started approaching me for guidance, though this was not part of my official duty, as such , in the beginning I was reluctant to render any advise, but I found that if the problems are not sorted out in a sympathetic manner, then this leads to loss of output and at times, even led to accidents. As such , I started given tips and encouraged them to solve their problems in their own ways. This helped many and issues were solved amicably. To render better service, I started referring many books on human affairs and psychology. The study increased my knowledge base and I gained good experience. All the time, I was preparing notes and slowly the notes became bigger and bigger. The formation of a book has started and further research was done to improve upon it. Based on my experience and interaction with the people, the notes were grouped under four aspects: Religious, Spiritual, Scientific and Materialistic and how one achieves progress in these aspects. Excellence in life is a reference book, where subject matter has been arranged in a logical manner as civilizations developed in a different parts of the world. I hope that the readers will be benefited out of this book and they will develop confidence in tackling the problems, as they arise in life. Soon world would become a happier place to live in and harmony will prevail amongst all. Book is only a beginning and not the end.
