Some Ideas, Some Plans, Some Compulsions − 17 December, 2006

Another Sunday morning and as usual my time to take a look on whats going on and where i am heading. Now its a habit to sit aside and take a note of happenings of my life and future path. Nope I am not making a statement or declaring that I am en route to something big or intend to make something big. It is just the fact that I love to think whenever I have time.
Since my student days, I have been toying with some ideas and when the time decided at that time to go for implementation of those ideas has arrived. But nothing concrete so far. Reasons, i belive in giving sufficiently long gestation period for any idea (though sometime it is dangerous and while you are thinking over the idea, somebody has starated implementing / executing), but i am quite aware of the fact that any idea in beginning looks like 'the brilliant once a life time spark which is capable of catapulting the world', start thinking over it and you will find that idea is just a myopic thought or impractical imagination or already implemented / existing stuff.
I am still having those ideas alive, giving them ample time, discussing with people, reading thier face while discussing (just to guess that their comments are genuine or not as i discuss most of the time with my close friends or people supposed to be closed friends and i have all the risk of getting biased opinions).
So what are those ideas or what were those ideas and plans

Being a social entrepreneur or developement entrepreneur is surely very high on my list and there are two-three ideas that can provide the launchpad. Somehow whenever i think of success, it is always related with making unexpected (as per the perception of people) happen and these ideas are no exceptions.
Becoming an author - my childhood dream and the one thing is bound to happen sooner or later. I am not claiming that i would be a successful bestselling author but i would be an author for sure.

Both of the above are very much possible. And at the moment I am just looking for enough background work that gurantees that the ideas does not fail due to poor execution, which has been the major cause of failure for brilliant ideas. Secondly, I need people who have similar dream like me.
But all these will take some time, and right now the foucs is time management, so I can optimize my output on professional (being a consultant/researcher surely not an easy job as it seems) as well on personal front.

Well said, Santosh. I want to write a book or two or three in my time. Having started dandelife, I'm well on my way. I am about to 32 years old. I've had ideas since I was born. But I never really felt that I had an idea whose time had come until I started with Dandelife. While it's a passion of mine, it has clearly struck a nerve with others as well. That said, it's not an easy job for me at all. I worked ten times as hard now as I ever did working for someone else. Talk about time management: that's definitely a good skill to have. Good luck with your ideas. And if you ever need a sounding board for them, please do no hesitate to ask me. I'm happy to offer perpective to one of my earliest and most enthusiastic members!

Thanks kelly.. thanks for the support. Surely I need support from the people who belive in dreams and make them realize. I am still going through the phase where you sharpen the rough edges of your creations.. so i am just putting everything properly (in my head) and surely I ll let you know.
