You know, whenever you are confused, it means you are about to learn something new! You know it hurts but you broke your heart a long time ago & now it is open. You know, rejection or failure doesn't mean you aren't good enough it just means what is meant for isn't ready yet! Things come closer to you as much as you don't need them. You know, attachment to specific desires creates suffering & prevents you from accepting reality. You are not attached to specific outcomes.

Survival of the fittest statistics in #indianstartups scene puts the #mediaandentertainmentbusiness and #filmbusiness also to shame :-):-) Charles Darwin surely is oblivious to this sort of competition :-)įor every one blockbuster, there are 99.99 failures at BO and these stats from #indianstartupnews (mentioned in my repost) really gives me shudders.Īm happy teaching #entreprenuershipeducation than being an #entreprenuer (not being sarcastic and reminds me of the dictum, of George Bernard Shaw’s ‘Man and Superman’: ‘Those who can, do those who can’t, teach.’
