Why only entertainment?

One thing that struck me when I did the calculation of my expenses is that it is bit of in a wrong direction. I could see the expenses rising up and up. But it's not the issue. Its the place where I'm spending. Literally no penny for education and majority for entertainment. The excuses while spending money on learning has been never visible while spending on entertainment. Even half of ir changes a lot.

Focus makes the difference

The amount of work depends on the amount of time we spent on and the amount of focus. To be precise, it is the product of those two. There are various types of practices that makes up to a perfect finishing time. But whenever we look at it, the core always lies in the amount of we focused. We can even say that focus is solely responsible for completion. Without focus nothing cannot be completed. It may stay unsolved forever.

Pitching an idea

Pitching an Idea to the investors when we desperately need money is quite challenging. Convincing investors is not an easy job. We have to go multiple time to receive first round investment.

We were born into the society trap where everything is predefined. Everything is written and all we have to do is to obey them. We are not allowed to wander with our will and certainly not with any other rules. Predefined are the prime ones. When we look at those cultural scribings of activism, we could see that everything is limiting and designed to refrain is from our true potential. The hardest thing is not being unaware of this trap, it is being in the trap even after knowing you are in a trap. This makes us to think differently. Because we found something, probably, no one around found. It would be game changer for everyone. It could transform the society and culture, paving a more promising future for the generations to come. But what happen when we introduce this theory to those blind people is quite depressing. They mock and joke you, laugh a...
