The year is 1969. Three young men started a business, delivering parcels door to door in an old Plymouth Duster with unmatched doors!
They were Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn, whose surnames made up the acronym DHL.
Fast forward 55 years, DHL now has :-
* 250 proprietary planes
* 32,000 vehicles
* 550,000 employees
and presence in almost every country on earth!
Their revenue for 2019 was a whopping 65 billion Euros!
Start where you are, start with what you have and never ever give up!
Tailpiece.
Got up around a 20' past 5, the chores.
Saw the passing out parade of NDA's 146th Course with Gen Manoj Pande, the Chief of Army Staff taking the salute. As always, it was a spectacular and an impressive parade. The cadets of the passing out course moving past the quarterdeck marching to the tune of Auld Lang Syne was a nostalgic sight!
Yours truly had passed out of that quarterdeck - and yes, to the lilting tune of Auld Lang Syne - 49 years back!
Had breakfast before bath.
A quiet Friday.
