Yes it is important to the best. Best means being a sucker for excellence. God in detail.

Largely in India we lack decipline and focus to create or be the best. But i see that these days more and more people are able to differentiate between OK vs good vs best vs excellent.

Chalta hai attitude needs to be weeded out so that every kid gets educated, we conserve resources, define our own standards for happiness and living life, eradicate poverty through innovation and technology, give importance to research in science and finally remove corruption.

Folks like you have a larger canvas to paint a India who is the best in everything we do.

Although when compared at such a high level don’t we sometimes lose the bits which make each of them special or unique in their own way?

Love the sentiment in that line. My takeaway from that line is that everyone should strive for becoming the best, the expert, the master, in their domain of choice. Respect and recognition will follow suit.

Other than that: sounds like quite an adventure happened! *Note to self: must visit Corbett and get lost in the jungle*

I think what we are trying to demystify is whether the CEO and the poet are two distinct personality types to which Vindy rightly says, measured on the plane of excellence, they are not different at all.

Looking at things in a new way to solve challenges definitely is not limited to either artists or CEOs. Both use intuitive as well as available tools such as language/technology to solve problems. Ultimately, it is the vision that sets folks apart.

One need not have a finished tangible product in hand to be called an artist.

I have felt like an artist as a programmer, as a manager and so many other “non-art” stuff.

All is art, at the plane of excellence.
