Prayer of the Day

Dhammapada (Attributed to Buddha)

It would be better if, instead of a thousand words,
There was only one, a word that brought Peace.

It would be better if, instead of a thousand poems,
There was only one, a poem that revealed true Beauty.

It would be better if, instead of a thousand songs,
There was only one, a song that spread Happiness.

Quote of the Day

"The real character of the person can be known only through what he does when nobody is watching. It is the value system that determines the core of an individual".

N. R. Narayana Murthy, Infosys.

Infosys N.R Narayana Murthy's 5 success mantras for entrepreneurs

1. You must have an idea whose value to the market should be expressible in a simple sentence, not a complex or a compound sentence. . .;

2. You must have a team that brings mutually exclusive, but collectively exhaustive set of skills, expertise and experience;

3. The market must be ready for your idea. If the market is not ready for your idea, doesn't matter how smart your idea is, you will not succeed.

4. You need a good value system, because entrepreneurship in the beginning is all about sacrifice, hard work, deferred gratification, disappointments. It is the value system that creates confidence in each member of the community that other members too are doing the same to make this company succeed. . .

5. You need funds. . . but that is easy, finance is not a problem.

From his latest book, A Better India, A Better World (Penguin/Allen Lane).

Interesting Facts

Law of Jante.

This law is popular in Europe, particularly Scandinavian countries. This law supposed to have existed since the beginning of civilization, but it was only officially set down in written from in 1933 by the writer Aksel Sandemose in his novel A fugitive Crossng His Tracks.

This law states that, "You are worthless; no one is interested in what you think, therefore you had better opt for mediocrity and anonymity. Do this, and you will never face any major problems in life."

But can afford that?! Mediocrity can be very comfortable until, one day tragedy knocks on the door, and then people wonder: "But why didn't anyone say anything, when everyone could see this was going to happen?" Simple: no one said anything because they didn't say anything either.

Therefore, in order to prevent things from getting even worse, perhaps it is time that in Anti-Law of Jante was written: "You are worth much more than you think. You work and your presence on this earth are important, even though you may not believe it. Of course, such ideas could land you in a lot of trouble for breaking the Law of Jante, but don'e be intimidated. Continue to live wihtout fear, and you will triumph in the end."
