What does being poor actually means !!

On the spot article on what being poor people actually means, I was actually lucky enough to not to see this level of poverty but have seen lot of people around me experiencing this. My heart goes out for all of them today.

The man who defines courage..

Yeh Dil Mangey More !

Life is 10% how you make it and 90% how you take it ..

Superb words from Mark Sustar on Life and how to think about it.

"life-is-10-how-you-make-it-and-90-how-you-take-it"

Intelligence can get you killed :)

Fancy title but very substantial thought here in this article.

try try try till you succeed !!

a very nice interview piece well resonant with my theme.

In author own words "Dale Levitski was another recent example of someone we pointed out who has started succeeding again because he started putting himself out there again, willing to get knocked down."

one more piece of street wisdom

"if an opportunity or dream you have only has say a 1 in 20 chance of having some kind of success or impact, you better be putting 20 of those out there."

Also one more update from my personal front.

I have left Linkedin, yes with the IPO in air, with so much money on stake I have left it.. I thought about it a lot actually but one day I realized Linkedin was not where my heart was and the decision became very easy after that.

I have moved on to a much smaller startup and cannot be more happier with my decision.

So my mantra or 2 cents of funda for free ..

"Do what your heart says and Be what you want to be, Everything would make sense if just start listening to your heart for once !!"
