A problem is settled does not mean it's solved.

Image
 There is a norm in startup valuation, where a startup is judged based on the problem that it is attempting to solve. It is called "Solution with no problem." That is to say, a startup is trying to solve a problem that is non-existent in the real market. But, our experience have pointed out an exception to this grade. A problem should not be treated to be non-existent if the people have simply accepted the problem as it is for lack of a solution. This happens for example when due to lack of technology or resources people simply accepts the problem to be unsolvable and continues to live with it. But technological advancements can still try to solve such problems. During such times this cannot be said that startup is trying to solve a problem that is non-existent.

Every beginning have an ending.

When you begin to lose, your losses shall have an ending... Don't stop trying. When you are winning, you shall have some bad times stacked for you right ahead, so don't change your behavior... And always remember when Shahrukh sir taught us, Keep struggling till you have your happy ending, until then

Blues don't see Mondays.

Image
 Monday blues is just a term. You can feel heavy hearted any day of the week. But the problem is that, we feel blues on Mondays so we do not give our best. But when we feel good, for example on a Sunday, we still avoid working because... well its Sunday. Well, it is ok to feel low sometimes. But don't blame any day. Just go with the flow. If you are ok with working less on a working day just because you were "not feeling quite right", you should also be willing to work if you feel right on a non-working day.

Taking a step back.

Image
It's not easy. But even the costliest cars have reverse gear in them. Taking a step back sure means you made some bad decisions along the way, but it also shows that you are the kind of person that keeps recalculating the route. That you are capable of taking decisions better than those who fear "WHAT THE WORLD WILL THINK!". It is like in chess, not every move is going to make you win. Sometimes you will have to make sacrifices too. But it's ok, as long as every move of yours make sense. We all make mistakes, but a wise person knows how to detect it and correct it in time before it becomes a blunder.

Affordability with Profit! - The Ford lesson.

It is all about trade off. Startups... Nay... Any modern business has to find its place amidst this tradeoff. Especially those who are targeting bulk clients. The new product or service must be affordable to the client and yet provide profit to the venture itself. That was the prime business idea of Ford. They found a way (pipelining) to industrialize the way cars were manufactured so that they could be manufactured in an affordable way bringing the costs down. And this is beneficial, not only to the business, but to the client world as well. And also to the intellectual world, cause only then we get to see some incredible idea taking shape which no one had visioned before. Every time a new venture succeeds, it also opens frontier for further new developments.

Beware of the falling back illuion.

Here is what I learned while driving to office the other day. I left for my office, but I was not feeling really good that day, so I was driving very slowly. I could see all the other cars and bike overtaking me, but I was just not in the mood to drive any faster. It almost seemed like I was going backwards due to all the heavy traffic overtaking me so quickly. But I knew that I am going forward. This is when it hit me. When you are travelling for your destination, it does not matter at what speed you are going, what matters is that you keep moving in that direction. Sometimes in life, we feel like we are going so slow that others, our friends, relatives, colleagues etc. are moving ahead so fast in life that it almost seem as if we are going backwards. Just remind yourself... "This is an illusion" This is what Ranveer Kapoor was saying in YJHD, just do not stop.

After the Kushmanda form, Goddess Parvati took birth at the home of King Himavanth. चैत्र नवरात्रि के दूसरे दिन, हम मां ब्रह्मचारिणी की पूजा करते हैं। मां ब्रह्मचारिणी ध्यान और आत्म-नियम की देवी हैं। उन्हें अविवाहित रूप में पूजा जाता है, जो देवी पार्वती की अविवाहित रूप हैं। ब्रह्मचारिणी शब्द दो शब्दों का मिश्रण है: ब्रह्मा (तपस्या) और चरणी (आचरण)। इसका अर्थ होता है वह जो दृढ़ता से आचरण करती है। मां ब्रह्मचारिणी को नंगे पैरों में चलते हुए दिखाया जाता है। उनके दो हाथ होते हैं: दाहिने हाथ में जप माला और बाएं हाथ में कमंडल होता है। मां ब्रह्मचारिणी की महत्वपूर्णता : मां ब्रह्मचारिणी की पूजा से व्यक्तियों में तप, त्याग, वैराग्य और संयम जैसे गुण विकसित होते हैं। यह दैवी संबंध न केवल उनके आध्यात्मिक विकास को पोषण देता है, बल्कि उनके नैतिक आचरण को भी समृद्ध करता है, जो उन्हें धार्मिक नैतिकता की ओर मार्गदर्शन करता है। इसके साथ ही, देवी की आशीर्वाद से व्यक्
