INSPIRE A GENERATION

In our life days passes like leaves falling from a tree. In the case of a tree, leaves help it to grow and sustain. But after its task, in a windy day it finally falls. New leaves are born and the process continues forever. The same thing is applicable to life; your time is limited and the ultimate power to become successful in life rests with you, the way you think and largely about how you manage each second of your life. There are voids or interstices in this universe and these are part of our life. As famous author Umberto Eco confessed that he works on these Voids of his life. Voids may be packets of fractions of seconds or even a count of few heartbeats. Thus people utilising these voids become successful, they create history or become part of a system that is literally powerful to overcome any struggles.

Whom we could call a successful man? In my terms, a successful man is someone who followed his heart and provided he was right. He could have spent sleepless nights, he could have had no soul mates but he should enough courage to follow his own principles. You should have a dedication to what you do. As facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said “youth can see a door where others see a wall”. This is simply an illustration of how you can turn around things depending on your dreams. The first thing you should do is to become CEO of your own life. Branding your commodity, which is your skill, is your sole responsibility. These are lots chances in this globalised globe but converting chances into opportunities depends on your intelligence, no matter how intellectual you are. It creates a ding in your life.

Once Steve Jobs was kicked out off the same company that he founded, Apple, he didn’t broke down but crated history by creating two marvellous companies , Pixar and NeXT. Pixar went to create first animated film, the ‘toy story’. Later apple bought Pixar and Steve returned to apple. Later on a speech Steve called these events as an awful tasting medicine later on said that the patient needs it. What Steve shows us is the passion to fight, never give up and following your heart. When Steve died share value of apple was 600$/share, but now when Dow jones has reached the top, and broke the record, Apple struggles with its share value crashing to 400$. Thus Steve’s exit created a big hole in apple, facing challenges in innovation scenario. Thus Steve even after his death is the soul of apple. Many entrepreneurs failed in this.

As I said, globalised world prefers quality over quantity, density over volume. The globe has positioned itself from a philosophical 20^th century to an aggressive 21^st century. The ideology of 20^th century has no relevance today. If you had inherited those characters, undergo an evolution and keep yourself updated. Many products coming from much posch brands or MNCs have failed miserably while products with lesser brand value have rocked the market. Today, domestic market have been captured by International brands, Chinese low cost brands, why we have failed to built homogenised brands, not keeping India a dumping ground of MNCs. Domestic brands failed to address the people, these needs and their pockets. Lack of technological advance and high cost of finishing products have withdrawn Indian customers. They keep on looking for Chinese products, thus nourishing the 70 billion US dollar trade between two nations. Why India fails to export our products to Chinese markets? The answer is obviously the underperforming political class. Why can’t we make a Shanghai in India? Why can’t we create low cost products?

For an entrepreneur, taking risks are of great importance, Steve jobs did it. Bill gates did it. Dhirubhai ambani did it. Then why can’t we? Stock exchanges have been a gambling site for many; it creates millionares, empty people’s pocket. Make rich a dweller of slum but still people invest. Why? It’s their thrust to become successful. Thus, people take risk, might be some tough decisions. People like J R D Tata took a less travelled road and created a brand called TATA. Pandit Madan Manohar Malvya founded Benarus Hindu University. Steve formed apple. Thus, if you are determined nothing really cares, but your potential which you have to unleash. Be your own master, you be in commanding position of your life, then, no one can stop you.

Days will pass, seasons will change, science and technology get advanced, thus keep updating. You should have your own personality but that should be a reflection of what others want you to. As Stewart brand said in his “whole earth catalogue’,  STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH”. This inherits the passion for entrepreneurs. What the world would call “ KEEP GOING PHILOSPHY”, that can create skyscrapers of your dreams.....................
