Be Intellectually Honest And Have The Courage To Change Says Apple CEO Tim Cook

Starting out with his conversation and speaking to an audience of students and to be entrepreneurs at the opening of the Foundry startup hub in Oxford, UK, Cook talked about his early life and what are the key elements to succeed as a CEO and as an entrepreneur. Back when Tim Cook was 21(1988), he says "I wanted to find a job that I loved and I wanted to love the work I did." Having grown up in a "very lower middle-class family" and watching his father working a "blue-collared job" for his family and not doing the thing he would love. Soon after his undergraduate school Tim realized that "the purpose of life is not to love your job. It was to serve humanity in a broad way and the outcome of that would mean that you would love your job." He also says that "after joining Apple, I re...

Capture Your Travel Journeys On The Go With TraveLibro

“When you travel, you either create or get created.” Since ages, people have admired the nature for its beauty and pureness. Some of us even bear an unquenchable thirst that could only be fed by climbing a mountain top, or diving deep in the ocean. Every travel experience awards you with a Unique Story. A story no one has ever heard before, no one else has lived before. Each travel destination makes us a story teller, and we start finding ways to share this never-seen, never-heard experience with our friends or to those who share similar interests.

From Waiting Tables And Selling Fruits To Being A Successful Entrepreneur, This Duo Has A Lot To Say

In the past centuries, several sectors have seen tremendous growth. And ever since the startup bubble, things have started to move over to cloud. General utilities like groceries and bathroom kits, food, furniture and even heavy electronics are some mere clicks away. With this advent of “finding everything online” some sectors are still expecting attention and need much work done. Realizing one such undervalued opportunity, Kishore Beniwal started a venture Just.Jobs. There happen to be several platforms from job seekers, for people who have done MBA, B. Com, BCA or Engineering. While a huge number of such platforms flourish and have been promising White Collared jobs, a relatively less attention is paid to the Blue Collared sector. Just.Jobs is such one-of-a-kind, full-featured job por...

World Photography Day: Capturing Moments, One Click At A Time

Gone are the days when the words, "Ready! Smile!" were the cue for a group of people, standing as if already frozen in a frame, to smile widely before the sound of a click and a blinding flash of light filled the room. That era of formal photography where professionals were hired to take posed, say cheese kind of photographs to record events such as weddings and other mega family celebrations is mostly in the past now. On World Photography Day today, lens persons take stock of a different kind of photography that has come to the fore, the kind that catches a groom stealing shy glances with his bride, or a doting father sharing a quiet moment with his daughter. It is also the kind that captures the first moment of a child in the world, a mother looking at her new-born with tear-fil...

How To Solve Your Storage Problems With Your Space

The self storage industry has a brief history in Asia as compared to mature markets in Australia,Europe and North America. United States alone holds a $24B business, and publicly traded self-storage companies have consistently outperformed the S&P 500. There are over 50,000 self-storage facilities in the US alone, totaling 2.3 billion square feet of storage space. Although well established in countries like Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore, it is virtually nonexistent in Asia’s largest market like India. With the advent of cyber cities, and establishment of hubs, there is often a crisis of expected space for living that fits the budget. Also, there are times in an individual’s life when changes are happening fast and one needs to keep up without getting rid of their things that take ...

Women Harassment in Startups And Resignation- The Story of HiTech World

Today, we are an advancing society, reaching new territories with our knowledge and technology but the growth that we truly need, seems forgotten or lost. I am referring to sexism, and predominantly, sexism in startups. Women are discriminated against and sexually harassed on a regular basis in the startup work space. In 2013, a law was passed that mandated every company to have a team of 10 people that’ll ensure a structure to manage the complaints of female employees. Yet this law still remains unsatisfied as it is simply a target on paper for most companies. According to a recent survey, 60 percent of women working in Silicon Valley have fallen victims to uninvited sexual advances. This is a grave problem, prevalent in not only our society but the whole civilization.. We live in a...
