If you expect fairness in life, you will end up bitterly disappointed. Billionaire Harsh Goenka, who is known for sharing insights on life, living and success, took to X on Saturday and cautioned his followers on placing too much importance on fairness and asked them to take charge of their own destinies.
“Do not expect life to be fair; start practicing to become a better player in the game of life…” wrote the RPG Enterprises Chairman.
Netizens React
Responding to the post, one X user said he realized long ago that expecting fairness from the world was a losing game. The day he understood that the world rewards value, not victimhood, was the day his perspective shifted. Life may not be fair, but it offers endless opportunities to those who show up, stay adaptable, and play the game with greater wisdom. He remained grateful for reminders that reinforced this truth.
Another chose to be more optimistic. “Life's unfairness often leads to growth. Many successful people credit their setbacks as key lessons that shaped their resilience and strategies,” the comment read.
Actor Ranvir Shorey left a caustic reply, saying that fairness is a myth that children are taught to value. “Sadly, “fairness” is exalted in our entire childhood. Then as adults we face the real deal. It’s tough to cope…” read his comment.
Goenka recently also shared a thoughtful reflection on happiness through a social media post. In his words, he emphasized that a significant part of joy lies in simply having something to look forward to—not necessarily grand milestones, but the small, everyday moments that warm the heart.
He pointed to life’s quiet pleasures: a comforting cup of tea on a slow afternoon, a message from someone who brings a smile, the first arrival of ripe mangoes, the unexpected scent of a favorite perfume worn by a stranger in an elevator, the gentle embrace of a newly bought soft blanket, or a sunset that feels like it understands you.
Goenka encouraged people to create a life where even Mondays feel exciting—not just weekends, holidays, or distant dreams. His insight was a gentle reminder to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary.

A big part of happiness is just having something to look forward to. Not grand things. Small, silly things. A cup of tea on a lazy afternoon. A text from someone who makes you smile. The mangoes finally arriving. Your favorite perfume on a stranger in an elevator. New soft…
