"We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest." - Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Wise Words- 5
Another sensible dialogue from the movie "Moodar Koodam"
White: Yetti kudhikra narikellam thratchai pazham kedachurumna, yella nariyum yet to kudhika arambichirum Boss. .
Naveen(Protogonist): Yetti kudhikra narikellam thratchai pazham kedaikanumnu avasiyam illa white- adhu yennakum theriyum.
Aana naan thratchai pazham kedaikradhula santhosha padravan illa.
Nammanala mudinjavaraikum yetti kudhichomnu ninaikradhula santhoshapadravan.
Yevano oruthan yerkanave ezhudhi vechadha vaazhradhuku naamak onnum computer program illa kuberan.
Idhu ena vaazhkai. Idha naan dhan ezhudhitu iruken.
Naalaiku naan irupena, illaiyanu yenaku nichayama theriyadhu. Inniku dhan en vaazhkai.

100th Post- Hey Nutan...!!
On the eve of new year 2019 posting a wonderful ode written by Rabindranath Tagore on his 80th birthday for himself, which happened to be his last birthday when he was alive.
Amazing how Tagore faced life with enthusiasm and optimism even at the feeble age of 80.
Lyrics
Hey nutan,Dekha dik aar baar janmer pratham shubhakhan|
Tomar prokash hok kuhelika kori udghaton
Surjer moton ||
Riktataar bakkha bhedi aapanare karo unmochan |
Byakta hok jeebaner joy,
Byakta hok tomaamaajhe asimera chirobismay |
Udayadigante shankha baaje,mor chittamaajhe
Chiranutanere dilo daak
Pnochishe boishakh ||
Meaning
Hail the new dawn,
Let the sacred hour of birth approach once more
May you appear in glory, unveiled from mist
as does the sun.
Reveal yourself from the emptiness of the soul
Let life be victorious once more,
Let the wonder of the infinite be revealed through your creation
Conch shells sound in celebration in the dawn skies within my soul
The call goes out for eternal renewal
From this twenty fifth day of Boishakh

3. Stages in getting Expertise
a. Acquiring interest ( Should not be out of "Shinning apple syndrome")
b. Acquiring knowledge ( Getting exposed to the know-how. This is just tip of the ice-berg)
c. Developing skill (This is the trickiest part. It is repeated practice of knowledge and internalizing the knowledge through repeated practice. Here is where most people give-up)
d. Exhibit (Beat the syndrome of getting frustrated with practice by showcasing and staging what you have learnt in a forum that could motivate you to learn further)

Chapter 2 : The Silver Lining
During the financial crisis of 2008 the author was asked are there opportunities to create new companies in this turbulent economy?
The answer of the author :
This is the best time. When times are bad is when the real enterprenuers image. Entrepreneurs don't really care if the market up or down point they are creating better products and better processes. So when somebody says there is less opportunity now because they are losers
In times of economic uncertainty, people get creative. They break out of their comfort zones and take initiative to help make ends meet. It is a matter of good old - patient American entrepreneurialism at its best. When the going gets, tough the tough gets going
In the words of Paul Zane pilzer
" Traditional wisdom in the second half of the twentieth century was to go to school, get a good education and to go to work for a large company. The idea of going into business for yourself was most often regarded as kiski. Admirable perhaps but risky and maybe a little crazy . Today is completely the other way around"
People are waking up to the fact that they want more control over the lights. They want to be more connected to their families come be in charge of they want time, work from them homes, determine their own destiny. In a research study, 84% of respondents said that they would be passionate about their work if they want they want owned their own business. The number one reason they give for wanting to work for themselves is to be more passionate about their work life
There may be economic hard times for the majority, but for some entrepreneurs - the ones who are open minded enough to understand what I am going to explain in the next few chapters - these are times pregnant with Economic potential. Not only is now the time to have your own business, but in fact come they have never been a better time than right now, today
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. And if that's true then that leaves you to questions.
First: Are you willing to be tough?
And if you answer is yes, then question number 2 is get going doing what?
I can't answer that first question for you, but I know exactly how to answer second one. Answering that question is what this book is all about.

Business of 21st Century- Chapter 1
Just started reading a book after a very long time- The business of the 21st Century by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Have started to read with absolutely no prejudices. The book was given to me by a friend of mine. But I got some idea about the book's context during the discussion with my friend.
Going forward, have planned to post the key- takeaways from every chapter of the book.
Every human voyage of life is directed towards the end of maximizing one's wealth and lead a life richer life than the previous day. But hardly do we think beyond the stereotypes. The book attempts to change the idiosyncratic human thinking in his pursuit of getting richer.
Hope, I will complete the book as planned and blog the key ideas of the book by God's grace
Chapter-1 -The rules have changed

Chapter-1 -The rules have changed
When I was a kid my parents taught me the same formula for success that you probably learnt - go to school, study hard and get good grades so you can get the secure high paying job with Benefits - and your job will take care of your future.
But that is Industrial age thinking, and we are not in the industrial age anymore. Your job is not going to take care of you. The government will not take care of you. Nobody is going to take care of you it's a new century and the rules have changed.
Life is tough. The issue is, what are you going to do about it? Moaning and groaning one secure your future. Neither will blaming Wall Street, big bankers,corporate America or the government.
If you want salt future you need to create it. You can take take care of your future only when you take control of your income source. You need your own business.
