Its no news that India is considered as an IT super-hub. But, have we ever wondered why India is still unable to churn out a Facebook, a Google, a Twitter, an eBay, a Microsoft, a WordPress or even a mere Tumblr (which fyi is founded by a 21 year old in 2007).
The answer is fear.

Most IT professionals are buried under a comfort zone. They have scaled a certain mountain to reach to a corporate peak that guarantees a monthly paycheck, an above average comfortable lifestyle and a sense of investing time and money to hone their skills to scale more.
Now, I’m not denying the fact that there’s immense talent in our fellow IT professionals. Some of them are in-fact brimming with bright ideas. But the only thing that’s stopping them is fear. The fear of losing it all. The fear of breaking the comfort zone forever. And life goes on.

Ever wondered why there is an abundance of numerous rags to riches stories?
Cos, they had nothing to lose. Most of them started with a single penny in their pockets. They had nothing to fear.

Stop preaching, so what’s the solution?

Faith is the answer.
Having faith in ones abilities, skills and dreams is not a single days task.
There’s a thin line of difference between an ignorant who thinks he’s the next Mark Zuckerberg and a knowledgeable person who’s actually the next big thing.

Ignorance and faith is a lethal combination. It’ll lead you to disaster.
Knowledge and faith is more lethal cos it’ll lead you to success.

‘Knowledge is power’ isn’t just a cliched proverb.

Not everyone may agree, but you know what?
Even if an ignorant person claim that he doesn’t believe in the laws of gravity will fall to his death when pushed off a cliff.
The law will always work. It doesn’t matter you believe it or not.

To sum it all, start learning the laws. It’ll lead to knowledge. Knowledge will lead to self-faith. Faith & knowledge always leads to success.
