Revolution of Business and Software.

It’s a craze out there. Business is no longer just business anymore. In this 21 st Century, we have seen a revolution that has powered business beyond the realms of the normal. We have seen business move with technology to a point that we cannot differentiate the two anymore. How has software taken over business? How has business evolved? These are some of the questions that we might ask ourselves. Let’s take a look at some few thriving businesses and see what they have in common. Entrepreneurs remind themselves everyday of these companies and they live to be like them. So what does AirBnB, Facebook, Netflix, Alibaba, Instagram and Uber have in common? Simple, AirBnB which is the largest accommodation provider owns no real estate, Facebook which is the most popular media provides no content, Netflix which is the largest growing television network lays no cables, Alibaba which is the most valuable retailer has no inventory, Instagram which is the most valuable photo compan...

Think for Yourself, Don’t be Sheep

Promises delivered by politicians are normally not very  far-fetched . They are very achievable and yet we wonder why they still cannot keep their word. Is it because they just needed our votes to walk in high places, be regarded as someone important or to get that fat pay check? I think, all of the above.  Politicians in the very sense of it can be called as many names as we deem necessary but we all agree that they attempt to lead people to think in a certain direction. This is power. I call it power because people listen when they speak. People follow when they lead. People fight for them. People almost worship them. Is this not power? I believe in politicians being leaders who can influence people to think in a certain way, behave differently and change their opinions and believe something new. So what really makes the politicians amass followings of great masses and have  die-hard  fans eating and drinking their words? It is the way they talk...

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Stagnancy is not healthy. This is the part of no change, where we remain as we were without significant results or improvement. A wise man once said, “If you stay on the right track for too long, you might end up being hit by the train.” So what is change really, and what effect does it have on us? Change is making something different from what it is currently. From this simple definition, we can confer that change can happen anywhere and in anything. So, there is internal change and external change. Internal change as the name suggests is all about our emotions, feelings and behavior, things that cannot be measured by scale or quantified. On the other hand, external change is anything that can be quantified on the outside. Change is important at times because it fosters more creativity. Designers for example love change. Why? They simply get bored of seeing the same thing all over again and this encourages them to come up with something different. Change gives us a differe...

A FRESH START.

Having to leave what you understood most and trying to figure out a way to start all over again is almost as hard as finding a leprechaun in the rainbow. We figured that it would be a relief to have a new start and reflect on what we learned. The finish line has never seemed so far away. It is really amazing when you think you have made enough of a stride only to realize that you had only made baby steps. At times you would think that the world is against you.  Troubles fly in one after the other regardless of the kind of preparation you think you have done. Talking of troubles, tribulations and all that mess that is thrown to your face and you as all before you, have to handle it regardless of the outcome. It is at times frustrating, disheartening and most of all killer of spirits when you feel you can’t handle what has been thrown at you. So all in all, we at times yearn for that fresh start.  That rejuvenation of mind that assures us that all is well or bette...
