Find What You Love !!
I really feel honored & thank my family, friends, well wishers & God to be able to still pen down my thoughts & feelings.
I still watch Steve Jobs` Stanford speech video over & over at regular intervals. It has become one of my favorites on Youtube. I do not know, whether it is possible but I would definitely like to meet the man & convey my admiration to him directly. What little, I have read or heard of him is that Steve consistently pushes things farther and is a stickler to quality. He demands perfection from his employees and can be very rude at times.
What is interesting at Geomanage is how we as a startup with only a few of us can hold ourselves to the same bars of quality. It is one thing to have more than thousands of employees, employ the best brains in the industry pay them High-salaries - but it is a different story to have a tiny group, pay light salaries & accomplish / deliver beautiful products & services.
People may well ask - How do you do it?? Well it all boils down to doing what we love and doing it passionately. But many would like to do it but really how many can. I am lucky - I not only found what I loved but I was graced by God to be blessed with an excellent companion & a loving family surrounded by friends & well wishers who encouraged & helped me to do what I loved. But, to be very frank, when I started on the journey I never thought that I could be where I am now. But you can only look back & connect; you cannot look forward and decide what is right and wrong. Whatever, the problems, difficulties of the past I think were nothing but a prelude to what it is now.
So to all those who want to start I would say that you should first love yourself, then have trust in some things like trust yourself, trust your intution, destiny, life, karma etc This methodology worked for me & made a difference. And above all as Steve says -
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
