Last month I was at my home with parents for some work with respect to one of our businesses. Most of my free time got spent on the balcony, watching a band of construction workers diligently put together the building opposite to our newly constructed house. And as I watched them, a thought stuck to me (which you can guess took some unsticking to do :P)

That band of workers worked each day in sun/rain/wind/shade to put together an apartment complex where none of them were going to live. And as I observed them each day, I was more and more fascinated by this aspect of how the lives of entrepreneurs unfold…

Most entrepreneurs will agree to this – the fun is in the journey and the climb, the view from the top is lonesome and it’s not the destination that matters. Which suggests, building something should be of prime interest to us!

However, most people make this mistake on too squarely focusing on the end point, worrying endlessly about how it’s all going to turn out in the final race. To put it mildly, if the foundation is strong, if the journey is challenging, if the process followed is good, the end result will be just fine!

This gets displayed in our daily lives also. We fret and fume over small things gone wrong, fight with others and get angry on ourselves if we don’t get what we want, but rarely reflect back on was the building process right? And if it is, temporary setbacks or delays aren’t much to bother about then…

The thrill of building is what keeps people alive, that joy of something that you envisioned taking shape in front of you is unmatchable. It’s true for painters, for artists, for entrepreneurs, for sportsmen, for leaders, and I guess it’s true for all the so called “normal” people as well. Here’s to the spirit of the “Go for it” attitude!!!
