In my previous blog, I scribbled on how large is your large . There I concluded that our canvas is just too big and we need to think hard about how can we do something meaningful. While I ponder on what this meaningful could be, I would like to share my thoughts on what we consider meaningful things in this world as it stands today, with the following questions - What are by and large the achievements of human race in the last 1-2 centuries? Are these achievements really "achievements" in our big canvas (time x distance x yet_unknown_dimensions ).  Does human race have a direction and all efforts aligned towards that direction? Who are the people responsible for these achievements? What are rest of the folks doing?

Instead first see where you want to reach and then will figure out how best can you do it. To get a perspective on how large is you...

A few days back I was sharing a ride with CEO / founder of a well reputed firm and once the atmosphere was informal I asked him 'How does it feel to be at your position - well up in the ladder?' I wasn't asking out of the blue, very precisely I wanted to know - How would I feel when I will reach there - contempt, even more hunger for success, proud, stressed out, rewarded, nothing unusual, etc. What are the unknowns - anything unexpected that I can not visualize at my current state What will be my "Have I made it large" moment, it at all there would be any He is one of the smartest guy I have ever known and I was expecting to get my answers. He told that he wonders if has made it large already? There are companies that grew faster than his while his company grew faster than most of the other companies. He answered my question with the carrot and stick approach . He explained how does the carrot keeps getting bigger as one grows. He wouldn't be satisf...
