Good thing. I agree with you.

In today's world only knowledge counts.
If you have knowledge by virtue of experience and suffering then you can
internalize lot more knowledge. By starting small you can get momentum
and move up, little by little and make giant leaps in time.
But if you wish to sit on the periphery and measure the depth with your
feet
then you will always be a loser.
Being a loser is a very usual ordinary and common thing in India. To not
have
ability and hard work and a thirst for knowledge is very common...here.
But
that is not the way the world works.
A lot of the companies I worked for in IITM and came across in Chennai
are interested
in selling to Indian govt, or to Africa or South America or to colleges.
Why?
Or they want to be involved with colleges in some manner.
Why?
Answer is very simple.
They want to stay a loser all their lives and play with weak fools.
This approach has multiple problems. Failure is guaranteed. But along
with that as I always find you will not have money to continue running the
business.
And from my experience India is not the market for IT. But for movies,
cricket,
entertainment, jewelry and so on India is great. You can tap into the
disposable
income and rise in the purchasing power of many metros.
If you do anything at all in the world of technology, be it by way of
software or
hardware or again software(software is bigger than everything else),
then focus on
the entire world.
In particular look at the most happening place, the USA or Europe or
Australia or Japan.
The developed markets will reward you for doing a good job and pay you
easily and correctly.
It is truly remarkable how having spent all my life in India and
having never studied abroad
I am so different from others....
I used to imagine for a long time that Indian market does not require
great quality or features, only
the problem at hand needs to be solved. But I was proven wrong. After
a painful span of more than
2 years. People don't treat you properly, they won't pay(many do) and
decisions never get made.
Instead one is much better off focusing on the entire worldwide market
and using Internet as the
delivery medium for your product or service and also deliver support.
By staying away from other Indians who will pull you down by way of
their weak womanly thinking,
by teaching you to adopt bad methods like bribery, cheating, not
winning by fairness or quality,
you will get polluted and lose the charm of doing the knowledge business.
The true mark of a successful man is total lack of fear when you see a
similar businessman or
someone who is doing something like you. If you have real worth
nobody can steal your bread.
Out of the people I have met in India all my life 7 out of 10 people
are mortally afflicted by fear
of someone else stealing their cake. This seems to be a really normal
thing in India, but I don't think
this is normal around the world.
As I said stay focused on learning and keep updating yourself
continuously, keep improving
continuously.
It is best to stay away from other colleagues and friends who hate you
because you are not weak like them.
That is fine. Live with it. Your best friend if knowledge, not your
friends. Trust me. I am not lying.
