In my college days, i used to think that to be successful, you need to have good education. Later after joining Strand, my understanding of life changed and the desire to start a company of my own and provide employment to others increased.
As i had a Bachelors degree in Computer Sciences, an M.Tech from IIIT-H, and was very passionate about writing code, i started thinking that an MBA from the IIM's will make me complete and help me in spinning off a company.
Within 2 years or so, i realized that most of the people who study at IIM's join existing companies in high paying jobs but doesn't necessarily start new companies.
May be after studying so many courses on business management, it turns out that we start looking at every idea with a lens of bookish knowledge which doesn't allow us to dive into our passion and take the risk. One of my friend once quoted that What degree did Dheerubhai ambani had that he created such a huge empire?
Now, in the present situation. I see many of friends, colleagues discuss things like how did gmail overcome Yahoo, or YouTube was successful inspite of the fact that Google videos was there, How DropBox was successful given that Google Dirve etc where already there? Every one has a reason to satisfy themselves.
The general tendency of us (Homo sapiens(Humans)) is that we try to find out a reason which satisfies us regarding the actual fact. That is why we read like minded news papers, watch like minded TV shows, just to reinforce the reason that we already have in our mind.
The crux of this blog post is that, I started to think that so called "SUCCESS" is a random event and as an entrepreneur, the more you try, more are the chances that you get it.
