Entrepreneurship- The Spirit of The Young Steve Jobs once said- ldquoYour
time is limited donrsquot waste it
on living someone elsersquos life
Donrsquot be trapped by the
Dogma Which is living the
result of other peoples
thinking Donrsquotrsquo let the noise
of otherrsquos opinions drown
your inner voice and most
importantly have the courage
to follow your heart and
intuition They somehow
already know what you truly
want to become Everything
else is secondary The only
difference between mortals
and immortals is that
immortals believe in lsquodoing
thingsrsquo whereas meagre
mortals just wish
Entrepreneurs are the
immortals who have lived the
life the way they want The
rest just have wishful thinking
Having said that it doesnrsquot
mean that these ingenious
minds ndashthe entrepreneurs
have it easy They fight their
inner demons they fail they
breakdown and they do
loose But the only thing that
keep them going is their
dream A dream which is not
made up of neurons firing all
the way in the brain but
which is made up of sweat
blood faith and belief in that
immortal idea Entrepreneurs
are a rare breed an outlier
who constantly try to change
the way the world isrdquo
From Sulabh International
to Flipkart We have
ingenious examples of people
who dare to dream and dare
to do People who are not
afraid to fail That can take a
thousand hits and still carry
on Entrepreneurs are not
only those who take their idea
and turn them into a cash
dispensing machine they are
amongst us who find a new
way to look at the age and
problems wade through it till
they find a solution For
example when Harsh Narang
(Founder of PhoKatCopyTM)
decided to solve the age old
problem of students- cost of
photo copying for notes Not
in his wildest dreams did he
think it would be a runaway
success Now PhoKatCopyTM
caters to the needs of over
35 Lakh students by
providing free Photocopies of
notes
Now PhoKatCopy may not be
as famous as Flipkart or
Zomato or even Snapdeal
but its founder shares the
same zeal and core DNA as
the any of the other start-up
founders- A stubbornness to
do something different Guts
and courage to walk the path
less travelled and in the end
to become ldquoImmortalrdquo Not
just because they embraced
entrepreneurship as their
second soul but because
they embraced an idea and
ideas never die
Pertinent to the crux of this
article I would dwell in to the
minds of the Young Vibrant
Entrepreneurs At a time
when the whole world is
expecting them to do what
everyone else is doing- Finish
your schoolcollege and take
up a good job what ignites in
the heart of those young
entrepreneurs May be the
thrill of the unexpected or the
desire to challenge the
societal norms these
youngsters play with fire
because they know that they
have the advantage of age
with them Young
Entrepreneurs are ruled by
their heart and live by their
mind In the end it will be apt
to finish with a line from the
Hindi feature film Udaan-

Globals Inc in San Jose California Listed in

grades and attendance of students Another
product his company has developed (and is
a candidate for a patent) is a data
management tool that would help IT
companies decrease their workforce and
lower their costs
