NOT For SALE

Somethings are not for sale. Believe me, thats true. Groupon said NO to Google $6 Billion deal. Yahoo said NO to Microsoft double the current value of Yahoo offer. So my friend what I want to say is, somethings are not for sale.

You can not turn down the aspirations of people. Just you have the power doesn't mean, I have to obey - Famous quote, doesn't remember the author. If you are working for your aspirations and passion, you will be satisfied even if you are a failure.

There is a dialog in a Hindi Movie - 3 Idiots. Madhavan (actor)  tells his father. If you want me to become Engineer I might become 3rd grade Engineer. If you let me do Photography which I am interested, I will be at least 2nd grade photographer with satisfaction.

Most of the startups I read about they have a sale figure in mind. They start with selling price as destination. Some they tend to become the companies people respect for ever. It all depends on people around you in the board as well. So As far as my knowledge is concerned there are two important things for startup Niche and Goal. I believe 50% of the startups getting the niche right, but goal wrong. Please don't start a company with sale price in mind.

All the very best...

Dhirubhai Notorious or Famous???????

This article is about a legend called Dhirubhai. Ambani The collected information about Reliance founder Dhirubhai from book Polyster Prince (which is banned in INDIA) and from internet.

One thing for sure 2 generations before me they dont know about this guy , might be no body discusses about him after 2 generations, i am proud to be from the same historic period as he is.....

"Changing orbits is the key to our progress" Some Unofficial statements made by him : I dont

Excerpt from the book "Made to Stick"

Image
This is one of my favorite books this year. The authors in this book talk about 6 principles to make messaging stick.  S:  Simple: Find the core and share the core U: Unexpected: Get attention(Surprise), Hold Attention (Interest). C:  Concrete: Help people understand, remember and coordinate. C:  Credible: Help people Believe. External and internal credibility. E:  Emotional: Make people care through the power of association, self-interest, and appeal to Identity. S:  Stories: Get people to Act through simulation and inspiration. Golden Rule of Simplicity: A one-sentence statement so profound that an individual could spend a lifetime learning to follow it. People can be driven to irrational decisions by too much complexity and uncertainty. Simple messages are core and compact. We need to shift our thinking from "What information do I need to convey? to "What questions do I want my audience to ask ?" Curiosity comes from gaps in our knowledge. Statistics will, and should,
