That’s what happens, whenever I see anyone shaking their head as a blatant non approval of me, my bizarre ideas and the absolute confidence with which I add 2+2 as 5!
But being a rebel is supposed to be cool, isn’t it? The thought of proving everyone wrong and emerging a super hero at the end of all the struggle keeps all of us moving, right? I guess my problem is bigger – I never forget. I do not forget the good, the bad and the evil and surprisingly enough, I call my critics my best friends. After all, it takes some grey matter and cognizance of what’s right / wrong to really find a weakness in an idea. Saying all sugar coated ‘well-dones’ are easier than saying ‘this-is-what-has-not-been-thought-of’ and to me, the former comes from people more when they are uninterested in seeing your face, leave aside reviewing the idea you wanted to present to them with all your heart.
Starting up they say, has never been easier than what it is today. I tell them it’s never been as difficult as well. With technology, ideas, people, social networks and angels (read investors) available at the click of a button, competition is tough, and in abundance. But then again, who wants to win a race where you are the only one running! More the competition, sweeter the taste of success.
Said this, I steer back to the world of my idea, my dream – the one I am living, breathing and worshipping at the moment; working towards the day when my biggest critics turn into my greatest admirers!
Ciao!
