The Business Case for Giving Away Your Best Work for FREE!

By Rajesh Setty on Tue 03 Feb 2009, 8:11 AM - Leave Comment

If you want to create something very good, it takes time, energy, and sometimes money. There might also be an opportunity cost (you could be doing something else rather than creating this) associated with that creation.

Should you give away that creation for FREE?

I’d say … “Yes.”

Here is the business case for doing just that (in my new column at TomPeters.com)

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching…

By Rajesh Setty on Sat 31 Jan 2009, 10:33 PM - 2 Comments

Thanks to Warren Whitlock (author of Twitter Revolution) for sharing this wonderful video of Mathew Harding. Reminded of this gem by Mark Twain -

“Dance like nobody’s watching;
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Sing like nobody’s listening;
Live like it’s heaven on earth.”

Without any further ado, here is the video, please enjoy!!

Hmm..Isn’t that interesting…

By Rajesh Setty on Thu 29 Jan 2009, 8:30 AM - 15 Comments

Think about the last time somebody stressed you out..

Somebody?

Really – nobody can stress you out until you give them permission to do so. YOU can get worked up and all – but don’t blame it on someobdy as “it is your response to what they did or said that got you worked up.”

OK, OK – you might already know that

So, what’s the solution you ask.

Simple – next time someone or something stresses you up, think about it with a mood of wonder. May be say something like -

“Hmm..Isn’t that interesting…”

and look at it with all the curiosity in the world.

It might calm you down and in the first couple of days, instead of getting yous stressed, it might crack you up ;)

Have a great day!

A Pinball Game and Teamwork

By Rajesh Setty on Mon 26 Jan 2009, 9:30 AM - Leave Comment

What can a multiplayer pinball game teach about teamwork?

A lot.

Over the weekend I was at The Tech with Sumukh and saw this multiplayer pinball game. The objective of the game is to get their ball to the final destination.It was a game to watch as the kids were battling to win.

pinball-teamwork2

While every kid is working hard to get guide his or her own ball, he or she is indifferent to the efforts of other kids who have their own individual agenda. Every effort to win by a kid thwarts the efforts of other kids to win.

It’s just a game but that’s exactly what happens when the individual and team agendas are not aligned.

Something to think about…
