JOURNEY

Steve Jobs - "Even those who want to go to heaven don't want to die".  Death discovers the way we should live.  If you have met someone who survived from a life threatening disease or an injury or who was counting his days, then only you will realize how it feels like dying.  "Until people experience they will not realize how they should live." - said my one of my favorite mentors.   1) Appreciate everyone and everything You walk into McDonalds order a coffee and you met the guy.  On your last day you would take time to appreciate his efforts and thank him for what he is doing.  You will even stop by your favorite gas station to say thank you and appreciate.  You will stop complaining about what they have done wrong and simply appreciate. 2) Stop worrying On your last day one thing is sure that you know tomorrow is when you will leave everything.  Nothing to loose, nothing to gain.  You will want to stop worrying about all small t...

How many sources of inspiration are there?  "Infinite". Yes there are infinite sources of inspiration. You can get inspired by watching a bird build her nest or by watching videos on TED.com or see Barack Obama's Historical speeches on Youtube . There are plenty. The point is did you get them.

Why very few Start up companies are successful? Why very few individuals are Billionaires? 9 out 10 companies fail within first five years of their formation and 9 out 10 such companies fail within 10 years.

The above quote was said by Steve Jobs on his interview along with Bill Gates(founder of Microsoft) on ALL THINGS DIGITAL. You can watch the video series here If your products are not "Remarkable" then your team is not passionate about it. Just think about any Apple products. Aren't those products truly amazing and sexy?

You should be obsessed by your work so much that even in the middle of the night, you are excited and wake up to finish it. Then only you can be Passionate. Only Passionate people create remarkable products, products about which you can make a remark. When I want to get any kind of inspiration on de...
