Finding your purpose

2010-08-16T09:21:00.000+05:00

What is the purpose of my life? current environment and systems does not clarify it to me.
Do you know yours?
Who is the right one to define and explain my purpose of existence, is it myself or my parents or my country or my Creator?
What should I do to live a meaningful life?

Please, if you know the answers and do share with me.

A Successful Approach in Life

2009-04-08T09:22:00.001+05:00

Comparing things is the human nature, we define:

something as beautiful by knowing something ugly
something smells good by knowing the bad smell
something is right by knowing the wrong

Similarly, talking about the success stories without highlighting its failures is worthless.

1. Thomas Edison failed approximately 10,000 times while he was working on the light bulb.
2. Henry Ford was broke at the age of 40.
3. Lee Lacocca was fired by Henry Ford II at the age of 54.
4. Colonel Sanders had knocked on more than a thousand doors before he got his first order.

we should focus on our wants instead of intermediate results that we get and keep a clear vision that is the picture of the future which we want to see. A clear vision provides us following functions:

It gives us direction.
A vision greatly reduces the risk of realizing the worst case scenarios in life.
It helps us in our day to day decision making.
It gives us motivation.
It helps us fight adversity.
If we don’t have a clear vision, we risk becoming the instrument of an undesired vision.
It helps us select some of our roles.

“You can and should shape your own future; because if you don’t someone else surely will.” Joel Barker

Background of Naming Things (As why intel named as intel?)

2007-06-15T17:10:00.000+05:00

The history of brands sometimes present you the inovations and sometimes dumminess of the inventer. It will be very exciting to search about the reasons of branding any thing to be presented to public.

For example: i have seen the following right now.

1) Intel: abbreviated from Integrated Electronics
Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel

2) Google: Comes from word Googol which is a mathematical term means 1 followed by 100 zeros. it relects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web. Google was assigned mistakenly at the time of domain registration.
Ref: http://www.google.com.pk/intl/en/corporate/index.html

So, share your knowledge also and provide brand reasoning as much as you can. It was a very exciting discussion, just belive me.
