moments of inspiration...

Have you ever wondered why you are spell-bound after you listen to some one speak or after you hear an insightful remark from your friend or even after you watch an inspiring movie? There is some increbile energy transfer that happens between the speaker and you, which motivates you to be resolute and action-oriented towards an objective!!

Exactly the same happened to me few hours before when I heard Mr. Manish Sabherwal address the ISB students who took "Planning an Entrepreneurial Venture" course. Few of my favorite takeaways from his seminar are: (some of them might be counter-intuitive, and probably that's the reason why he is such a successful entrepreneur)

- Opportunity dances with only those who are on the dance floor.

- Biggest danger is not aiming big and missing it - but, aiming small and getting it.

- Anybody who knows exactly where they are going is incapable of going very far.

- God is not on the side of biggest armies, but on the side of those making big shots

- The only worse thing than being wrong is being confused

- Can't live with or without planning

Jus to end this post symmetrically, have your ever wondered how these moments of inspiration are so fleeting that you don't retain the energy and drive for so long - what makes it evaporate and how do you permanently ingrain such drive in your mind and your activities?
