This is what I have learned through my research journey as a student and teacher in business administration. A research journey is full of excitement, surprises, challenges, and uncertainties. In research, for the sake of repetition, we must be prepared to welcome rejections with a broad smile. Failures are inevitable and we must be patient, – Ranjan Chaudhuri
