Well the last sentence says it all….!! “Besides, wouldn’t you like to tell your children ‘I’ve lived MY life, the way I wanted’?”
Not many could afford to say the above to their children!
Good one bro…!!

For the past few days the Times of India has carried a great deal about the rush for admissions to Delhi U. If people did not care for graduation, then why the rush?

If people did not care for graduation why are cramming classes for IIT admissions such a good business proposal?

I doubt if many Indians really want to be sportstars. Fantasize, maybe. But want?

Guys..what I have learned through my small journey of Entrepreneurship is…everyone has a different story…there CANNOT be a definite path of success to Entrepreneurs…if Bill/Steve were dropouts then it doesn’t guarantee that every dropout gotto be successful Entrepreneur(and so in 2nd case of Naukri or makemytrip)…Entrepreneurship by itself implies newness…so every path is unique in its own sense and an Entrepreneur has to define his own path …sorry to say but the article looked like something “very common” to me

I think all entrepreneurs try hard but not all succeed…so just trying hard is not enough…you need to evolve too

If you try hard and be very rigid about your idea or model…you will surely fail

So try hard…and be smart (keep evolving)…dont compromise on your vision but be flexible about how go about achieving it.

This formula is spot-on, imho. If you keep trying hard enough for a sufficiently long time, you *will* make it.

Thanks guys !
I’ve am an ardent observer of ‘creative pursuits’ ( Entreprenuership, writing, music, sketching hence on and so forth) . I salute all those in pursuit of creativity and honestly belive that there is some method to what the world percieves as ‘madness’
Regards and Best Wishes

I think the last two paraas are what is important. Enjoy the ride. The ride is going to be bumpy. If you do not have the stomach for it get off the bus. The ride is the destination!

You said it in too many words.
Simplify, its just about PEP!

Passion, Evolution and Perseverance

There was, is and will never be, No one formula for success

Dont waste time finding it!
just get started…as being successful is a journey and only Karma pays.
