Great tips/points : gapingvoid :: how to be creative

* “The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to change the world. The two are not the same thing.”
* “If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.”
* “Never compare your inside with somebody else’s outside.”

You either are or you aren’t

From Tom Evslin’s blog
“People sometimes ask me if they should become entrepreneurs. The answer is “no”, not because it isnt fun to be an entrepreneur and sometimes even profitable but because you cant “become” an entrepreneur. You either are or you arent. You cant unbecome one either.”

And like the phrase “Cage is Open” in Paul Graham’s last post Hiring is Obsolete

Really I can feel that ‘the Cage is Open, and I am free’. Thanks Paul.

Paul Graham gives me a real enthu for entrepreneurship with his every post. But unfortunately we haven’t yet started working(coding) on any of the products. And no big achievement was made. Though we have got a name, but I want to release that with the first product, and after registration as a firm. I wont be having anything to do at home, so thinking about doing some major work at home[1]

This is the best time for me to give it a kickstart, and if i miss it now, i can never do it. just do it.

We are still there

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

Yeah its going well. Having meetings at midnight. Discussing some ideas, pruning them, reading lots of articles. Mostly i sleep in the meetings. Our current focus is on videos. Well the world will soon move to videos from images. And wikimaps - annotating the world. (Hey prarners, let me know when i’m leaking some secret info.) The name of the company is still under consideration. My BTech problem is still there, without any solutions. I am worried and but i dont really think about it. But more than my being in the startup im worried about harming my team ( Hey partners, I want you to know it. I feel sorry for my problem but i can’t help it. And i dont know the solution. ). But thinking and exploring and discussing ifself is a great experiance. And I’m eagerly waiting for the day when i’ll say i own a company.

I dont know why, but everythings these days seems to be pointing towards entrepreneurship. The articles I read on net, the discussions, what other good bloggers blogs about.

My new guru - Paul Graham after Osho and RMS. He is simply great. I have something to add his concept of hacking in relation to painting (Hackers and Painters)- Living is hacking, if you really see it like this. Maybe someday I too will write “Hacking and Living”.

its happening

We are now 5 members with Ankit Kumar. hum paanch.
we talked to Prof Jawahar.
He said “Its good and bold, the second part is more important”.
He was positive about the idea.
We will be meeting again in a week, to discuss it further.

Then I told the idea to upsy. She went silent. Said “I’m afraid. Maybe I dont understand it well”. It was like a shock for her. I have discussed about it, many times but not like immediate plans. She wanted me to first finish my MS. All I could do is assure her that its safe for us.
