People who think their startup’s success is going to follow from their immensely valuable secret idea are disproportionately likely to have bad ideas.

It is not the critic who counts…
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Welcome to Apple err Microsoft Store..
Check this out…
Something is freakishly wrong with the marketing department at Microsoft. It is very similar to an Apple store.
Why would they do this? This is a disaster for Microsoft.

Let’s Talk!
I am planning to be in Pakistan for a short trip. I would love to meetup with you if you are in Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi. If you are working on a startup, working for a startup or just working on some super-awesome-cool project — then let’s talk!
InshaAllah (God willingly) I will be starting my tour from Islamabad/Rawalpindi, then going for a few days in Lahore and then to Karachi.
So if you are interested then email me at hello[-at-]obaidahmed.com
Please note that my tentative dates for this trip is from Nov 9th till Nov 24th. So keep these dates in mind when emailing me and also please do provide me with your contact phone number, as I might not have internet connection as soon as I land.
Hope to see you soon!
