There is this technology that's been around for a while. .....academia sees a lot of potential in it......the success though is measured by only the potential real-world applications that one can develop.....and I dont see many applications that have materialized yet.....to get this to be accepted into the market and see it become a greater success than what it is right now...thats what i hope to achieve some day....its gonna be the biggest test of my convincing powers....

I have always thought of myself as someone who is very good at convincing people about what I believe in....in the real world that helps too , but one of the added advantages is that i can pull of all kinds of statements with an absolute straight face.....so if you dont know why the sun moves from east to west...dont come and ask me with an innocent face....I might just say its due to solar winds....and if you dont take a second opinion then you will probably end up with that idea for the rest of your life...

The power to convince people in the real world is all about mind games and perseverance......and more often than not the stronger mind always wins....by this I mean that the weaker mind is convinced.....and then are those rare occasions when you may have the stronger mind but its the frustration that gets to you...and at the end of it you just give up.....knowing very well in your mind that what your are saying makes a whole lotta sense but the other person is just not gonna accept it.....so finally the other person cannot be convinced but at the same time this situation is not that bad....because you still have with you...what you believe in...which is very important......and its all about packing your bag....going back home.....rest a bit and come back to "Fight Another Day"

After thought..if you are out there to convince people...and if they dont change...then the arguments need to change:)
