A wasted day


Today was not productive at all. I did not waste my time but still at the end of the day, I have not even finished newspaper.
So I don't feel like posting any thing. Now I would try to move to general topics of discussion.

Three major articles are pending... Will finish them first.
For readers:

Jeff Bezos says there are five cardinal principles of success in Business:
1. Being relentless
2. Comfort with being misunderstood
3. Willingness to fail
4. Long term thinking
5. Customer obsession


Similarly Kunal Bahl also says:
If you wish to be happy
for an hour: Then take nap
For a day: Go fishing
For a year: Go get married
For life time: Do something meaningful for others

I have atleast 10 different pathways open for me at this stage of life. Finally It boiled down to shorter list.
I have a very serious choice to make between three options:

Teaching: Whether to teach in IT (Need to work real hard, long term PHD needed) or teach in Coaching for IAS (Instant money, fame etc)
Entrepreneurship: Whether to go for Family business (Already set) or start my own in IT (Need to work real hard)
Jobs: United nation civil services for international diplomat or Job in IT

Civil services preparation has given such a nice perspective and broadened my horizon of interest. A part of mine feels that now take a job where I do not have to slog and spend more time reading, and enjoying cultural stuff, start writing in professional manner and just chill. For example start IAS coaching, I can any day make atleast a lakh rs a month and keep reading general stuff which gives me immense satisfaction as well. Anyway, I have had fair share of adventure during civils preparation.

Another part of mine says do something big, good, productive. I never came to civil services field for becoming a faculty. I came to become IAS. If not this, then go back to IT. It has various long term benefit. Technology lies at the base of any futuristic endeavor. So rather then running behind money in coaching, I should run behind Technology. With all the skills, in future, I may develop a big enterprise. And it is not really very hard. It is just matter of 4 years. I can develop all the lost skills and make up for this 5 years civil services break very easily.

The thought process continues and so does the wait for civils result.
Let us see which way the camel will sit.

Good night
