create wealth…stop finding out causes of poverty.

well thats the concept.

simple. Wealth is something to be created. Poverty is an idle state. It is the state that people naturally are in. Don’t analyse it. It is a state in which people normally stay in. No more. Stop.

Instead of “launching programs to find where poverty is coming from”, we should concentrate on creating wealth (enlarge the pie). Instead of World Bank giving “millions of dollars” to poor countries like Nepal find out root causes of poverty, just forget it.

Concentrate on giving people opportunities to generate wealth by doing what the rich countries did. produce and supply service and products to generate more wealth.
and btw pulling the rich down by redistributing their wealth doesn’t help. We should instead try to figure out how they created wealth and make more like them.

noticing the street entrepreneurs

… been noticing there are a lot of street vendors in Kathmandu, who are true entrepreneurs of Nepal right now. They are selling Momo’s (nepali delicacy - form of dumpling) on a unique makeshift moving kitchen or re-selling world’s cheapest pants (under a dollar) in sacks, Chanel labeled fake perfumes as a moving vendor.

Most educated middle and so called talented people,seems to be going in droves out of country after jobs in mundane big corporatio (the grass is greener on the other side).

Guess the only true entrepreneurs in town left seemingly are the ones risking it all, on the daily streets, making miracles out of the mundane street business in town. Who have everything to lose, and risk it all in the streets.

Maynot be “entrepreneurs” in traditional defination, but they are doing and risking stuff on the streets with frugal startup funds and raising families where as the more educated, and talented professionals have given away and run away…where their enemies are the local thugs, police, government out to stop them, taxers, dangerous vehicles, nasty pollution and what nots.

” abit of frustration, sarcasm, and over exaggeration but bit of truth also i hope here”

A salute to them.

so you think you are special…

so you think you are special??

here is a thought: On your next job application….,

DON’T SEND RESUMES/BIO DATA WHILE APPLYING.

Don’t. ((full stop there))

Instead: (As Seth godin writes and I wholly endorse it )

“How about three extraordinary letters of recommendation from people the employer knows or respects?
Or a sophisticated project they can see or touch?
Or a reputation that precedes you?
Or a blog that is so compelling and insightful that they have no choice but to follow up? “
