When you think the way
......................................others do

It happens most of the times that people tend to move in life with ideas of other people. They don’t even bother to give a thought on the matter, irrespective of whether how much tenebrous it is. And what is the result? – they live their life the same way…work in crowd…and when they die, no more than fifty mourners pay their last respects to them.
If Edison would have thought the same way, we would have been watching the television in dark (I know its a poor one)...If all of the programmers implemented the same logic in their codes as Ada Lovelace did, would Infy, TCS and others ever existed??(this comes from my engineered heart)….and yes, if all entrepreneurs would've thought the same way, then to whom Venture Capitalists would be financing these days!! (I am also doing MBA :) ).
I have had the experience of working with some of the best and challenge of enduring the worst. Most of others fall in middle. And according to me, what separates them is not talent (although it surely contributes), it’s how they perceive things. They think different from others and this also becomes evident from their success.
The world we see, is exactly the same. What others think should not be the driving force of our life. Now the obvious question arises- “How to think different?” Hmm, that obviously comes from your willingness to do something new, something different, to innovate….and then you’ll see yourself out of this world and you’ll be living a entire new life…!!

Think Different or Go Home…!!

Somebody said that...

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it
