Integrating the opposite Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg (Entrepreneur)
I read that while Mark was stuck, Steve Jobs persuaded Mark Zuckerberg to come to India and visit the same temples. Why India only? India is in the opposite direction of the world when viewed from Silicon Valley with a difference of day and night. First a person needs to adjust their body clock which needs to be reset. You are working with a different culture that is diverse, people are rich and poor. When coming from Silicon Valley where things are planned for you. You are a place where you need to plan everything. It would be a shock. Steve Jobs didn’t do a lot of operations in India at the time, so it probably wasn’t professional advice … it was probably to widen the horizon. I consider mediation a part of spirituality. When we get stuck we need to consider the following.
Disconnect
We cannot solve problems with the same thinking with which the problem was created. We need to be able to see the problem and reconnect with a different approach or different thought process. Meditation can help you disconnect and then connect back.
Care
Meditation and entanglement in spirituality help us relax which energize and rejuvenate our minds. It helps us to connect within ourselves. When we connect with ourselves, we understand that we can connect with others easily.
Sympathy
Once we understand our self we can have empathy… we can understand the other and know what happiness can bring them. With this understanding a good product can come that connects to the user / consumer. Mark Zuckerberg to donate 99% of his funds
Mix of opposite
We know and believe that to do the opposite of what we are doing… would be the hardest thing to do… we need to try to think in all the opposite / directions… once we are in the extreme If we know about it, we understand the spectrum for broad. Success is always between the extremes. Anyone can be successful without it, but it is less likely to redefine industries like Apple or Facebook.
Eternal happiness and material happiness
Material happiness is minimal. We should constantly feel happy or connected using a product. Once we stop being happy, we stop using a product. Products should make us feel happier or connected with others like Facebook when used like Apple. I think this is very true for consumer products.
To summarize when you are in a place where you need to think about everything, you are not in your world where you are the greatest, you have just gone to the other side where you were. .. weak, looking for guidance and busy with life. It is a mind setback that can reset the feeling stuck in an entrepreneur because you have challenged yourself to be different and you do the best you can as an entrepreneur.
