A Successful Entrepreneur

What does it take to become an entrepreneur? We all wish we knew because at some point in our careers we feel we would be better off on our own. But many of us are reluctant to venture independently being unsure of the risks involved in joining the entrepreneur trail. Let us find out the qualities so that the next time the entrepreneurial bug bites we are better prepared.

There are two types of entrepreneurs – those who willingly enter the field and those forced by circumstances to start out on their own. Whatever the reason, certain traits characterize a successful entrepreneur.

A successful entrepreneur has a clear vision for his business, and the direction for his enterprise to take right from its formation to establishment. The ability to plan also reflects the inclination to think ahead. The ability to express plans in a clear vision statement is an important trait of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs have extreme confidence in their ideas and abilities. They are optimistic and self-assured that their strengths will build their fortune.

An entrepreneur requires multiple abilities and should be able to resolve problems quickly and efficiently. He should thus have the ability to play multiple roles.

Though an entrepreneur would have big dreams for his venture, they ought to be realistic. He has to be aware of the market situation that will influence his venture.

The uncertainty about the whole venture despite meticulous planning is something to be expected. Above all entrepreneur should be ready to face risks.

It does take a lot of guts and hard work to be a successful entrepreneur; one may have the right qualities, but not the right impetus or ideas to get started. Look around you to get that inspiration.

Saddam given unfair trial

NEW YORK: Human Rights Watch said Monday that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was not given a fair trial, claiming in a report that attorneys and judges undermined the legitimacy of the process by staging repeated walkouts and failing to uphold standards of international law.

In a 97-page report, the group called the soundness of the guilty verdict "questionable" and said the Iraqi High Tribunal was not equipped to handle such a complex case. The document was based on observation of the trial and interviews with court officials, lawyers and other key parties, the group said.

The New York-based rights group said it found "serious procedural flaws," citing shortcomings in the timely disclosure of incriminating evidence. It also said that the defendants were not allowed to properly confront witnesses, and that the judges at times did not maintain an impartial demeanor.

"The court's conduct, as documented in this report, reflects a basic lack of understanding of fundamental fair trial principles, and how to uphold them in the conduct of a relatively complex trial," the report said. "The result is a trial that did not meet key fair trial standards. Under such circumstances, the soundness of the verdict is questionable." The Associated Press Published: November 20, 2006.

Lord Shiva the Supreme

Lord Shiva is the Good Lord and the Greatest God (Mahadeva) and God of Gods (Devadideva). He is mysterious and complex. He is the formless, timeless and spaceless Supreme God, but also the Supreme Lord of the Universe (Vishweshwara), Supreme Lord of Time (Mahakala) and Lord of Everything (Sarveshwara). There is nothing but he is above everything.


He is beyond description, beyond all manifestation, beyond limitation of form, time and space. He is eternal, infinite, all pervading, all knowing and all powerful.

The Rich-Poor Divide

In 1960, the per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the 20 richest countries was 18 times that of the 20 poorest countries. By 1995, the gap between the richest and poorest nations had more than doubled to 37 times.
