At the end of the RPBD which went off smoothly at the Westin Bonaventure, there were happy faces among the organizers everywhere. The class of people that attended was noteworthy, and the quality of presentations made was engaging. Everyone who was part of the organizing committee felt elated, and hugely satisfied. It showed Inder Singh, who was chairman of the GOPIO International at the time, had done his job. As the great Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu says, “a leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Indeed, Inder Singh brings smiles to people’s faces when they succeed, and that gives him his moments of greatest joy.
