Meanwhile, Indian industrialist Harsh Goenka is known for sharing motivational posts on Twitter every now and then. Last week, he even shared some “important truths” about life, which most people definitely agreed with. "You will never 'find' time, you have to make it. You have to think about yourself too. It's harder to be kind than smart. Everybody hurts. Nobody knows everything. Life is not fair, we have to live with it. Everything doesn't make sense," Harsh Goenka highlighted in his post.
