Be hungry and be foolish

I wanted to write this blog for so many months. But finally I’m writing it today.

I read a very motivating speech by Steve Jobs (he indeed has lot of VISION as far as design is concern). The thing that caught my eye was a phase in his speech “Be hungry and be foolish”. Reading this and I said “…woow this is so cool…”

Why is it so important…

Firstly, some great ideas are lost because we believe they are foolish.

Secondly, you need guts to be foolish

Thirdly, no one can be intelligent all the time.

Lastly, even if you can manage to be intelligent; it’s so boring to be intelligent all the time.

The hunger to innovate or thing is FUEL that charges a person to create. When you are hungry you are willing to take risk and think out of the box. If you are 'satisfied' you are DEAD.

Holy Grail & my project

It’s been a long time since I added to my blog…

There were so many things that I wanted to write but just couldn’t get motivation and time to write.

Now I’m relatively free as my project seems to be near its end. I have finally found the “Holy Grail” for my project. The most difficult part of my project was to “understand the Notion of Similarity”.

What is Similarity to people? And how can we make the technology that can understand what people consider as same?

Well huge questions to answer…isn’t it? the worst part was that there is not case study available to refer to... phhhheeew.

But finally I have to some extend found answers to these questions. This means I’m close to the finish of my project hurrrrrrrrray.

The study we did would definitely be a Good Case Study to read. Hope some day I publish it. Being an intern in a big company is such a pain...I tell you.
