Innovation Vs. Security


Dwelling upon the intricacies of the human mind, I was caught within one streak of my introspection. What drives some people to come out from the cocoon of social and financial security and risk themselves with a new idea? Is it money, independence or the sense of individualism that acts as the ultimate mantra? Indeed today a new idea is utmost appreciated by the intellectual monarchs as well as the mindless sheep who smiles at the newly arrived toy. The whole concept of starting something new is nothing but changing useless things to something useful. Pioneering an idea is not rocket science but overcoming the security that a secure job provides is indeed considered to be a step forward.  Recently reading about the Young Indian Entrepreneur Conclave 2010 I got a new dimension to my dilemma. Instead of fostering a new idea one could blend things already available to make it marketable. John walker did not create something new but blended the right proportions of ingredients to get one of the best scotch available. The right time with the right attitude is what I think is most important which makes all the difference.
