Mera wala Stupid..


Stupid is good.

Really its the key stuff that separates Entrepreneur from Manager.

Stupid is to think different.. any new pattern, product or service is essentially stupid as you are really jumping off the edge of a multi storied building trying to land on the adjacent terrace and theres a good chance that you may just go down with it.

Why?

Well how would someone really know if there's a sizable market for some new product or service unless of course it's a leap of faith and leap of faith isn't very different from leap off the terraces.

Even when you aren't going for a really innovative, fresh off the "Eureka bath" idea, you are still betting on your skills to make it work and unless you are doing pretty much the same thing, same way as you've done at your job, you are in for a new pattern and it's a jump all the same.

Stupid is also the guy who heads for an adventure holiday where a relaxing one would have done just fine and would be much easier on the tired bones.
Stupid is the guy who rides the bike in the elements on the road trip when a cool drive with friends, music and beer would have been more "fun".
Stupid is also guy who listens for answers within in this connected world when there are so many available on google and yahoo answers.

Why stupid do what it does?

Smart world view is that we have what we have in terms of resources, we've got a certain number  of  hours and such sills etc. We have some strengths, like our skills and talents, which we need to maximize to the extent possible, we need to replenish what's being depleted and manage the overall resources in terms of strengths, time and relationships to achieve something. Since the smart thing is to verify and confirm and only things which have been tried before can be verified for sure hence the smart objectives of success are the popular ones - money, success, power.

Nothing wrong .. ofcouse.. we are talking smart stuff afterall

Now for the stupid?

Part of being stupid is boredom.. you have done stuff a certain way and if you stick to you're knittings and max out your resources like the smart guy and if you focus on what's desirable goal again like the smart guy .. you'd get what you want may be there will be minor adjucements and time delay thats all right but you broadly heading up the smart alley where things go more right than they go wrong.

But well since you're stupid, you would get stuck in on of the above essentials of smart living: either you'll get bored of the stuff youve been doing (in spite of being good at it) or you will get inspired to go a new way ( and not up the smart alley) where the terrain is rocky and though there are better scenery there are  new ways of getting lost real fast .. but being stupid you like that and you like the scenery so much that the rough terrain doest really matter.. actually you kinda like terrain too.
