This is a little story of a boy and a girl who were playing together. The boy had lot of marbles and the girl had sweets with her. The boy asked the girl if she would exchange her sweets for the marbles. The girl agreed and handed over all the sweets to the boy. However, the boy, sneaked out the biggest and the most colorful marble that he had and gave the rest to the girl. That night the girl slept well but the boy was restless all night thinking that the girl may have hidden some sweets from him like the way he had hidden the marble. The moral of the story is – ‘What you give is what you get and what you get is what you deserve’. In this case the boy was not honest and thus had a sleepless night filled with doubt. How often do we come across people who cheat themselves and blame the rest of the world or curse destiny for their level of existence? By nature most people like to play an inferior game and expect superior results; when results fail to come in, they begin the blame...

Recently, I was reading an interesting case of a mobile phone manufacturing company that until a couple of years ago was the world’s leading and most preferred brand and suddenly it is struggling to keep pace with the competition. The reason? Well, the competitors have been successful in introducing better, cheaper and faster products with superior technology. It happens all the time. Nothing remains forever. Products, ideas, services, everything changes. The best-selling products loose the sheen and get outdated if they don’t keep pace with changing time and trends. People/ organizations who reach the top by being imaginative and flexible also sometimes get into a comfort zone. While they fail to explore new directions and get complacent, they provide young competitors an opportunity to race past them, leaving them with two simple choices – Innovate or Perish. Someone rightly said that ‘the best way to predict future is to invent it’. Consider any example of a succes...
