Every success story teaches us a few lessons. Narendra Modi’s rise in national politics is no different. Even if you are not a great Modi fan or a keen follower of politics, here are six important morals of the NaMo story that should not be missed – Ignore the Cassandras: Not paying attention to the noise around him; Mean it like humpty dumpty: Throughout the campaign, Modi plucked words, phrases, and catchlines out of his rivals’ mouths and made them mean exactly what he wanted; Age is nothing: Modi beat men (and women) of all age, both at home and outside, to prove that the only figure that matters in life is 56; Reload the Hope matrix: For every Modi voter, there was one thing in common: hope; Don’t discuss your past: Don’t look back in life atleast not in public;  Discuss your past: When was politics about sticking to a set of principles.
