Leader from a BOX?

The above picture has been taken from: www.rfidjournal.com/.../catalogue/phpcMjv3U.jpg

Leaders are not made in Universities or from any kind of training. It is not something that can be made. Leaders are the way they are. They react to the situation and take a lead of their life. They live by their choice and are not affected by the outer criticism.

Now a days, we see so many leadership programs run here and there. My say is, its stupid and unnecessary. By training and programs, where the traits of great leader are imposed into the young mind, we only get a robot that react the way, they are trained to be. They go by rules and follow the dogma of leadership.

Leaders come by breaking the glass in which they have been living. Everyone is given a choice to lead their life, some take it whereas some submit themselves. There is nothing wrong or right in it. Its just a way they are.

But, saying that we can make leader, is a foolish statement. Yes, we need leaders to lead the tribe, but they cannot be chosen or made. They simply either exist or not.

Leaders are not chosen by the people or the tribe, leaders choose themselves and other follow them. That is in my sense a true leadership. Someone elected are just a puppet controlled by others. They are not true leader.

Good Ad Versus Bad Ad

At InRev , for past few days we have been working on our new project. The project is about collaborative blogging, from the blogger around the world. As Bhupendra and I have been blogging for long time, with his immense experience, our team has been working to revamp the globalthoughtz and create a new blogging experience. In this site, we are planning to add a section where people can add their advertisement. We thought lets start by our own :), with already so many products on the line, it was obvious. So there goes an effort to create a small 128 px by 128 px logo. If you are a designer, you know that designing is a very time consuming process. For hours, you just test around with colors. Remember there are 256 X 256 X 256 combination of colors!! Its hard job selecting one. Lets start with F-Cube : In short F-cube is a Free Economic Reporting Site. Let me exhibit some Ad made for it and its pros and cons. (Please don't click on the image. Wait till the end. Thank You) OK, h...

Bruce Lee

Yes. Bruce Lee . Remember all the punches and kicks in his all time hits movies. But why am I talking about him. Am I going to talk about his movies? No, I am not. I am going to say about his philosophies which have been so many times projected in his fighting styles. By the way, he also wrote a book. Many may not know but he had a unique way of thinking about the life and his art of fighting. Let me put forwards his thinking, in my own words.   He believed in efficiency and rejected any amount of redundancy that affected the performance. He believed that there is no one style which is correct. Everyone has their own unique way and must harness those skills rather waste their time in doing something that is not efficient at all.  There are many fighting styles carrying their own norms and values. Every style starts by assuming something. But slowly those assumption are taken as a Gospel truth, and people make them into rules which cannot be broken. But, without understanding the key me...

Being an Artist and Being an Entrepreneur is almost similar

Most people flock to big cities to pursue their dreams and struggle for years. Some people succeed but many still find themselves waiting for the opportunities. They consider that opportunity is the biggest thing that can actually leverage their talent or skill. But I believe that it is not always so. There are couple of examples that proves that opportunity along is not everything. Moreover in today’s media hyped world, opportunities are everywhere from a reality TV shows to your own youtube channel, twitter account or facebook profile. If you look around in youtube, there are lots of artists doing great with their skills and scaling them to offline. This gives a lot of encouragement to all those people who want to pursue their passion. But there is a reality beyond pursuing your dreams that everyone considers once in a while. It’s how far you can take yourself with what you have. Most people get stuck on it and lose their passion in mid way, and some people simply cannot go beyon...
