More “right time” questions:
What is the right time to:
    - start any business?
    - take some risks?
    - realize your dreams?
    - dream, plan and act?
    - experiment and learn?

Answer to all is NOW. There could be many such questions but no one can time the market, luck or dream. Every time I think something different than common: I hardly see people getting aligned or relating to those ideas/thoughts. I see them realizing it only after it is done or proved! This has happened with me in both personal and professional life.

You cannot time the right time – all that you can do is plan and execute! As I always say, “you plan well – you execute well”

Over a period of time, I have learned that every “wrong can be right” and every “right can potentially be wrong”. Its multidimensional and very relative/comparative. Something which is “right” for an individual need not be “right” for entire community and vice-versa. Everything cannot be decided by majority or election. So, it is ok to think different and do different.

P.S. – Very relevant 100 years old Bengali poem: “Jodi tor dak shune keu na aase, tobe ekla cholo re….” written by great Ravindranath Tagore. In English: “If no one comes along on your call, march alone…”.


Ever wondered what makes an organization better from others to work for? Most professionals have been through this question. So... what makes an organization different and better than others? Here are some parameters:

Salary: yes, one of primary reasons. (There is no salary bigger than expectations )
Employees: Irrelevant factor as they keep changing and you end up getting similar employees across organizations (in same category)
Your manager: Big factor which can change your life in either direction.
Team: Good factor as you are champion because of your team. Every successful person is because of his/her team
Company size: Irrelevant factor
Work: Primary factor!

I believe good quality work will attract good talent and professionals. Good professionals will make a good, motivated and performing team. Good team work makes an organization with correct working environment. Hence, for an organization to succeed, it requires good work and good management. So, look for quality and quantity of work – rest will follow automatically.
