WHATS WRONG WITH HAVING A 9 TO 5
“If everyone becomes an entrepreneur, who will be hired to run the vision/business?”
We live in an era where entrepreneurship is sexy. Founders are supposed to uber-human. Especially in the technology space, everyone wants to start a business or launch an app. But let’s face it. Entrepreneurship is really hard and not everyone is cut out for it. Ignore the buzz, Do you!

THE ART OF BEING COMPLETELY ALONE
“Yet after decades of chasing love, I have never felt more complete than I do now, alone.”
It is not good for man to be alone and a helper was made… hehe. We live in a culture that is largely built around romantic couplings and monogamous marital institutions. But we are entering an interesting era… “being alone”. I am starting to see a lot more people in this category, brave new world :)

ARE YOUR ESCAPIST HABITS WRECKING YOUR LIFE
“What’s more, studies find that people who consistently avoid dealing with strong emotions experience greater feelings of anxiety and emotional distress over time.”
It’s often easier to escape. Gladwell said in his book “Tipping Point” people who seem to be in control are not really in control of themselves but in control of their environments. I try to stay highly logical in my everyday life, I do this by removing variables that invoke too much emotion. I have emotional escapist habits. What is yours?

TED TALK OF THE WEEK : THE LITTLE RISK YOU HAVE TO TAKE TO INCREASE YOUR LUCK
There is a factor in every success story called the luck factor. This cannot be predicted. But in every success story from billionaires to actors to writers to all. Luck shows up, people who are spiritual/religious find a “higher” logic for it. The rest of the world calls it luck. We can definitely increase this factor. Yes, we can!

BOOK OF THE WEEK : TIPPING POINT BY MALCOM GLADWELL
We all have ideas for something that we want to go mainstream. Maybe its a book or a business or something. All of a sudden a song or book or movie or an idea is everywhere or is popular. It can be said that the item in contemplation has “tipped”. Can we learn why things “tip” and be able to create these tipping points ? We can.
