Heart of Stone

He built his dreams with fire and steel,   Through sweat and pain, through grit and will.   His path was carved with silent nights,   A war he waged beyond the sights.   But love, so sweet, so soft, so near,   Whispered dreams into his ear.   A choice was placed upon his chest—   His passion’s flame, or love’s request.   He turned away from burning light,   Held her close, embraced the night.   Yet soon he found, to his dismay,   Both love and purpose slipped away.   For goals demand a heart of stone,   And love still longs to call its own.   To chase one means to lose the fight,   To hold both tight is rarest might.   So walk the road with eyes aware,   Choose with wisdom, choose with care.   For once you drop what makes you whole,   You lose the fire—and lose your soul.

Graduation Day

A true entrepreneur has no graduation day. Each day offers numerous opportunities to learn something new. A  businessperson learns a lot by losing than they do by winning.

If our mindset is crappy, then we tend to see only one side of the coin. Furthermore, some people are so narrow-minded; they can look through a keyhole with both eyes. A crappy mindset makes us avoid losing by whatever means possible. Most people view it as painful, or shameful. Others view losing as an opportunity to learn and grow. 

Entrepreneurs are never afraid to make mistakes. They understand that if they don't lose, then they will never learn. While the majority choose comfort zone over taking risks, entrepreneurs boldly decide to do the latter. Here is the good thing about comfort zone: it's really comfortable! There are many types of *Comfort.* A  businessperson is never impressed by the comfort that comes from *Comfort Zones.*

Entrepreneurship is good for everyone, but not everyone is good for entrepreneurship. Very few people are willing to take risks. All we want to do is complain, blame, come up with excuses, and make a lot of money doing nothing. 

One of my overseas friend recently argued, "Who said nothing is impossible? I spent my whole Summer Time doing nothing!"

"Let us agree to disagree agreeably," I replied. "You are turning a serious quote into a joke pal."

"No pal! I am just trying to be real with you brother..."

"Whatever!" I said angrily.

"Don't whatever me bro---"

I ended the video chat. We are still friends though. 

Back to our losing conspiracy: I know it doesn't make sense when I say that we learn a lot by losing than we do by winning, but business history shows us that entrepreneurs never achieved anything great by believing in what makes sense. Their belief was always unreasonable, and within this unreasonableness was the willingness to try again whenever they encountered failure.

There is a famous Bible verse that says, "My people perish due to lack of knowledge." I guess most people are narrow-minded because they are not aware that a coin has three sides: the tail, the head, and the edge of the coin. Looking at the edge of the coin is what sets entrepreneurs apart from the rest; they understand that their cup must always be empty.

A *full cup* symbolises an individual who is not willing to learn. They are afraid of failure, therefore, they cannot learn from their own mistakes. How do you expect to grow in this century if you are not learning consistently? You need to lose faster, pal!
