The Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Naveen Jain by the Los Angeles Tribune is a well-deserved recognition of his contributions to the world of philanthropy. By honoring Jain, the Los Angeles Tribune has not only recognized his remarkable achievements but has also shone a light on the importance of giving back and making a positive difference in the world.
While receiving the award, Jain stated, “All I can say is I’m accepting this on behalf of millions of entrepreneurs out there who dedicate their lives to solving problems, and not every idea you have will be successful. But always remember that an idea that does not work is simply a stepping stone to a different idea and a bigger idea.”
“So as an entrepreneur,” he continues, “I accept this award on your behalf and just know that as long as we all are focused on improving people’s lives, whether you succeed or someone else succeeds, we all together improve everyone in our community. Because of your success, our children and grandchildren will live better lives. So, to every entrepreneur out there, remember that we all are in it together. Not every idea we have is going to work, but just being in that arena and fighting every day, getting bloody and getting up again and going out again and living another day to fight is all we can do. All I can say is thank you. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this honor. And I am humbled, and I accept this award on behalf of every entrepreneur. Thank you.”
Moe Rock, the CEO of The Los Angeles Tribune took note of the way Jain received the award and commented, “I’m so glad that you decided to accept it on behalf of entrepreneurs, because you’re going straight back to giving back even when you had a chance to talk about yourself. You decided to talk about the entrepreneur.”
Jain’s recognition at the Money Forum Live underscores the importance of philanthropy in the world of finance and investment. As Jain has shown through his work with the Naveen and Anu Jain Foundation, there is a great opportunity for those in the business world to use their resources and expertise to make a positive impact on the world.
