Are you interesting?

Are we being interesting enough!

The answer is a blatant NO

Stuff that all people must do to become interesting globally.

  1. Make good friends - the type who encourage,motivate & challenge
  2. Learn all the time - keeping track of trends & innovations
  3. Motivate even enemies (and/or former disinterested friends) to do stellar work to improve in their own interest.
  4. Spread the gift of knowledge  globally - most importantly even locally
  5. Prove that a lot more is possible with sincerity & put in the required effort

2 of my biggest secrets are out - oops I did it again!

Always a lot to learn

The only thing I do not know is my own ignorance,
Decisions are made on the spur of the moment,
So is the agreement,

Many people really help,
Trade fairs open up a world of possibility,
The one lesson we all learn is humility,
Learn and read about amazing tech stuff,
Sometimes it just happens that reading is just not enough,

Money must be made,
Respect is to be earned,
Innovations also distract,
Windows of opportunity most of the times contract,
All of us will have to accept - this FACT,
Deal with failure with tact,
Show up with enthusiasm,
Take the leap of faith to cross the chasm,

What really matters is the ability to motivate,
Most people & companies will then salivate,
Results also then will not wait,
Supporters too cheer till we reach the front gate,

Success becomes overwhelming,
The moment is really humbling,
One forgets the trembling & bumbling,
The team is already doing everything

After real success always comes the remembrance!
