What is good better best ?

When i try to find standard deviations of population for people who think success comes after one takes risk then it ignores the samples of people who don't think that way.

Probably it was not a Random sampling :)

Take for example: Lance Armstrong who knew he had cancer and it will be very miraculous if he survives so where is the question of Risk when he took the decision to participate in the race? He actually succeeded by not only winning Tour De France for 7 times but he succeeded over the feeling of risk taking mentality.

And if that's so simple to be successful (one should take risks to succeed)then i think people will be making suicidal attempts for sure in pursuit of success by taking unimaginable risks like jumping from Eiffel tower :)

I mean they will not suicide but their attempt for success will definitely be suicidal.

Millions beloved MJ died ,not because he took risk to perform for some 50 shows at a stretch considering he's physical weakness but i think he must have died because of fear to fail.

How many times we have been told that its all their in mind to succeed or lose and risk taking attitude is not physical but a mental attitude.

But it's easier said than done.

I guess one should not give a damn ear to people who say you are taking risk because they are the people who belong to that 95 percent confidence interval of normal distribution of population who look normal to our society because every morning they go to job ,take lunch,drink free coffee,fill office toilets,pick office stationery and come back home with lot of pollution contribution on way back and then go to nearby multiplexes and shop till the shop closes and drive back home in their Mercs!! what a fuctastic life I mean fantastic for such normal people.

The dialogue in the "pursuit of happiness" where dad says to his son that never listen to anyone who says you can not do it,not even to dad himself.

It's rather serious initiative to belong to that 2.5% on the either side of normal distribution and try out things knowing that people are laughing at you and questioning your existence.

Risk taking is bullshit!! It's a self developed human phenomenon to defend ourselves by not trying out things which we always dreamed that we ll do once we grow up.

Either we'll belong to lower 2.5% on left side of Normal distribution where Mr. MJ failed to achieve success OR we can belong to upper 2.5% on right side of Normal distribution where Mr Armstrong defied failure( actually he defied death literally which is so real and inescapable).

But the point is that it is worth trying to not belong in that so called NORMAL category of mid 95% of normal distribution even if people call you MAD,SENTI,ARROGANT,PSYCHIC etc etc..

We have to decide to do things which will make us outliers in that Normal Distribution.

Long Live MJ!!

Iphone is a Device OR Operating Platform First?

So Indians are getting close to 3G phenomenon.I am excited to see how things go now in our country when Internet did not go as far one had expected here from the early days of 95-96and so do the penetration of Notebooks,Laptops and Desktops with so many designs overloaded with features which were marketed as these features are only available to peoples from other planet like mars or Jupiter of the UNIVERSE!!

Other interesting point would be to find is it internet which didn't look useful or proved useful to majority of people and therefore Computer penetration kept a low figures OR Vice-versa.

If Its the other way around means People( "common people" and not Jet Flying and executive class ) have still not realized any usefulness of computers to their daily lives then hey GOD please give enough willpower and strength to all poor and hardworking marketers to make further attempts and try out their best to convince people to buy computers .

If in close to 15 years internet penetration is nearing to 50 Million mark then seriously something is wrong somewhere. Off course we are atleast 1130 Million so people using Internet should not be at such levels.

Now contrary to Computers and its effect on Internet penetration ,Mobile phones came like a Tornado and its intensity is still not over. We are close to 400 Million with 10 Millions additions every month.

So who is getting better on other ? SIMPLE!!!

Mr Jobs has better vision of future than Mr Gates!.

Everyone makes a Mobile device .Even Chinese can make better phones than Finnish engineers!! Sorry Just Joking .Nothing Personal.

Mr Jobs would have definitely realized this after waking up one morning and he would have decided well let me also make a mobile device.Then he would have stopped and decided that No ...Just a device is not the end of GAME.And He invented the entire Operating Platform with features and then made a device to represent all those features.And world got a IPhone.

Don't you think Apples is selling IPhone operating platform than IPhone Device.I don't have second thoughts on that.

And who is going to challenge that kind of Platform? Well there are 2 other smart people on our planet to tackle Mr Jobs!!

You would have guessed ..No..Give one more try. No Not Still..oh you are so unaware.

They are Serlary Friends.YES Sergy Brin and Larry Page .

Android is going to be competing to Iphone operating platforms for future mobile market of devices as well as software platforms .

I don't know if Apple is ready to sell their IPhone Platforms to other device manufacturers OR it will only be available through Iphones.

And so next time when you go to shop to buy some smart phone after the mad rush of 3G launch(Which I am sure will happen !!) please check if you are paying for device or Operating platform.

Which 3G scheme is better? Reliance,Tata,Airtel,BSNL,MTNL......lol :)
