The magic of mistakes

The Magic of Mistakes

As we all know that the entire education system in India has Anti Mistake and Anti failure dominance. Somehow as kids and later on as students of our respective subjects, we are terrified of committing mistakes and confronting their results. Many of us, in fact, almost all of us have stooped learning precisely for that reason to avoid mistakes and the resulting failures. What was the last time we tried learning new word, or a new language or tried new road for some destination we went many years ago.
By sheer fear of committing a mistake, we have made us absolutely bordered and inorganic in every sense. We don’t try new food, new type of friends, new type of reading, new type of movies, new type of music and anything that triggers a slight probability of committing mistake. Initially, I use to, think of it as an ego effect, but as I closely watched myself and my acquaintances, it dawned on to me that it is not an ego but much primitive emotion of raw fear, and fear is always in absence of rational thinking. Fear is because we fear, no reason needed. And this doesn’t suggest being reckless, but more ready, more inviting to experience of the unknown and the undefined.
How mistakes helped me I can’t narrate you because they don’t help us the way we want and also they are not structured and timed according  to our systematic thinking .In fact Mistakes don’t help at all is what apparent to us if we see it through our own parameters of receiving help or benefits. But if you could be just a bit more open and candid to yourself and situations you went through the after effects of committing a mistake, you will start connecting the stars and after a decent amount of time lapse you will see how a particular mistake in fact made you future better or made is more interesting or more magical then the regular systematic, zero error decisions you did.
One word –brave, we need to learn to be brave, to make most of our mistake ,make mistakes more friendly and love them to master them, the magic of mistakes does seem very wishful, unplanned, or fate oriented but trust me, you should trust yourself and distrust you fear. I am so sure because of answer to a simple question I pose, Will you trust a decision made out of fear (of making mistake) ?
Magic of mistake is in the way you see it and way you want your life and business decisions to be.
To be hyper productive, will fear help?
That’s a question I leave for you to answer.
Being paranoid is glorified, and you look like an idiot when you are paranoid, sometimes you can also try looking like an idiot by trying a magic of mistakes.( Mis–Takes)
Mistakes do mean you go with a “take” that is against the general social and business system, it does mean going with the wind, with the flow, and with your gut, mistakes happen, they are not made. The upside is if you can’t make mistakes happen you win and if you make the magic of mistake you make yourself fearless and find yourself, learning.

What is Customer Obsession ?

Customer Obsession is a business philosophy and strategy where the company places the needs, desires, and satisfaction of customers at the absolute core of its decision-making processes.

Key Elements of Customer Obsession: Deep Customer Understanding : Customer-obsessed companies prioritize gaining a deep understanding of their customers’ preferences, pain points, and behaviors.

Amoeba OS

Amoeba  OS( Organizational Structure) Many Startups, small and midsize companies who have founder as its driving force are battling a problem called organizational Structure (OS) and system within the company. One can never be sure that what is more important? OS and system or founders way of doing things. Both have their own limitations. Whenever I am confused about anything about life or business I make it a point to find answer through life itself, the very nature we are the part of has solutions for everything,that is because nature has gone through  billions of years of evolutionary process finding most effective and effortless way of reaching the evolutionary pinnacle. When I first came to know about amoeba I was fascinated by its ingestion technique i.e the way it grabs the food. Whenever any food particle comes anywhere near amoeba that part of its body becomes its mouth & it engulfs it. By the way Amoeba was the first unicellular organism that performe...
