Keep Looking… Do not settle.

Words from a visionary, now known as Apple Jobs, are just so fitting in our lives. Recently I was listening to one of his most famous speeches at Stanford and with every sentence he was making more and more sense.
There are so many things in life that we just settle thinking we may not get what we love and because ultimately we quit, we take it as a truth that thing was never meant for us.
You aspire for a job and you try hard but just before the finish line you give up OR you want to marry a girl but couldn’t convince her to convince her parents and you lose hope just before your test was about to finish OR you are just running a marathon but you just stop in the half way because one part of your mind has lost to other part.
There are so many examples in our life that we just leave on our fate. I can’t say we are wrong every time but few of those circumstances could be converted into fulfilling your dream.

So what I get from this is …
Keep looking, work for the best … but be ready for the worst……BUT do not settle easily.

Cloud Comparison - Part-3: Business Strategy - Get Set Go

All businesses formulate their strategies around their strengths and use partnerships and collaborations to bridge the gaps. The three cloud hyperscalars we are talking about – AWS, Azure, and GCP – also follow a similar approach.  Before we go into details about these three players, let me list the main segments of the cloud market. The cloud market is divided into 3 sets of solutions: 1. IaaS (Storage, Compute, Network) Public IaaS – This is the segment with ~$100B market and AWS commands around 55% of the market, followed by Microsoft (30%), Google (10%) Private IaaS (On-premise) – This is a sub-segment within IaaS driven by clients' demand for hybrid cloud solutions. Overall market size is ~$25B led by Microsoft Azure Stack (33%), Google Cloud Anthos (25%), AWS Outposts (15%) Overall IaaS market is led by AWS with more than half of the market share. * Please note, that all numbers mentioned here are approximates and based on the reports ...

Driving - not much different than running an organization!!!

When I hear of the driver-less vehicles OR uberization of transport, I always wonder will it really reduce the number of people who would own the car in future? Do people use these 4-wheels only for commutation? If the answer to the latter is ‘yes’ then the answer to the former one would more likely be ‘Yes’ as well. Regardless of that, for me driving is fun. It is an activity that makes me feel in control of at least something in life. But on top of that, every time I am driving, I and up connecting what happens on the road with the corporate leadership. Here are few of those things that I have deliberated numerous times behind the wheel. Know what you are driving - One shall always understand what you are driving – a bus (large organization), a van (mid-size organization), or a small car. All three will adopt a different culture. While on the bus, co-passengers will have a chance to interact with a large number of people, you, as a driver, may not be able to maneuver it abruptly. Al...

10 Habits That Are Making You Miserable At Work !!!

This story, authored by Jeff Haden , was originally published by Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Happiness—in your business life and your personal life—is often a matter of subtraction, not addition. Consider, for example, what happens when you stop doing the following 10 things: 1. Blaming. People make mistakes. Employees don't meet your expectations. Vendors don't deliver on time. So you blame them for your problems. But you're also to blame. Maybe you didn't provide enough training. Maybe you didn't build in enough of a buffer. Maybe you asked too much, too soon. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic, it's empowering—because then you focus on doing things better or smarter next time. And when you get better or smarter, you also get happier. 2. Impressing. No one likes you for your clothes, your car, your possessions, your title, or your accomplishments. Those a...
