A Laptop Story that relates to your business, my business and any business

I drink bandwidth,
That is my favorite one liner about me.
Bandwidth is new nutrition for me. Else it could be , Paraffin. Kerosene, Electricity and what not? You could have a good laugh about this later, I am not a lamp born before Edison, Period.
Being born in a village I used to do my sums on a slate in the very light of Kerosene and my pet a buffalo enjoying her rest in the other corner.
Laptop is a new modern tool, something that gives me a helping hand now to do work.
I am a researcher without a doctorate by chance or choice which I won't bother till I have the ability to dig deeper in all the four directions. I am not earning enough to fund my research but I would love to go for it as soon as I can. Perhaps it's not the problems of funding but willingness to take that extra pain.
Anyway beyond my research I create web architecture, write technical, educational and business content and take the responsibilities to fail. My research focuses on IT business development and businesses feed me bread and butter to fail.
Entrepreneurship is something that I am doing on the other side of the table indeed not scaled yet for various reasons. The sole purpose is so I can help others.
OK.
A few people love to call me DK while some call me Freelancer who assume me as a fellow of use. This is common behavior we cannot control. Learning matters.
I was scheduled to meet this gentleman I have been associated with for nearly the last two decades in Mumbai in a top class hotel.
Why or why not leave it to me.
Key discussions happen.
and I questioned what about my Laptop? Well, this piece was noted well along with other priorities on the same piece of paper. A couple days later I selected a few models and asked to provide the same.
======================================================
Fill this gap with your choice of words
======================================================
Here is why I asked despite the fact that I am not in a permanent role? And, I don’t like taking gifts. You won’t like having a cup of coffee with you in Starbucks if I cannot afford myself, I will simply refuse.
Well,
1. I thought let's see the reaction.
2. How will I benefit the company?
3. What would be my answer if he asked why?
Well, the laptop was provided with a very old model which can do basic clerical work only and it went against my plan. Perhaps those guys did not need more than a clerk, else it was thoughtful. Or maybe it's between important and not important.
Our team with which I am associated and happy need serious help. So to access a few things a  better device is essential. Of course I won't spend my earnings for such a business which is not mine.
We need tools to cut the grass. But we cannot use the same tool to cut the green grass and a tree trunk.
But,
To hack gaps, what matters is the man behind the machine.
Over to you.
Kerosene to Bandwidth ......
The learning is, enterprises should think and rethink before taking actions to build that sustainable business, growth model and make a fortune.

Why you should not hire me, reasons here

I think you should not hire me to do work, you should not pay me for my efforts, you should not make me part of your project, business or team. Why, here are my reasons 1. I am not yes boss person, I am straight forward, you like it or not who cares. 2. I am lazy. I don't like to carry my cell phone everywhere, it makes my weight some extra. 3. I am time waster. I take my own time to finish a task. I cannot work in hurry. 4. I am unavailable. I love my sleep. I  stay in silent zone. You need to fix time to speak on important stuff. And you should be available in given time. 5. I am not good friend. I won't tell your team where do I live. When I do party. What is my age? How much I earn. I don't want anyone to peep into my personal space. 6. I perform poorly. You are looking to make that thing so big, you are looking to beat an intel or google. I hate doing things which are done already. 7. I am mean. Perhaps you running this business for money. Sorry, my prices are high. 8....

Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...

Valentine's day: An opportunity to thrive in career

 The month of February, precisely 14th February, gives us a chance to live in the present, accept change and embrace new opportunities. Generally, supposed as a festival of young adults, beyond common beliefs, the festival is for everyone who can spread a message of love and peace, who can share a smile. Life is all about partnership, without partnership it should be boring, then there shall happen no competition, you will do everything alone and you will always stand a winner. Imagine going out with your best friend, shake hands with small children, sharing your portion of meal with someone sitting on a street corner, asking change, hiding best handwritten card in your best friend notebook reading something truly lovely, gifting a rose to your parents, playing an indoor game with your siblings, or taking an initiative to clean the seas, would not these acts be ultra satisfying? To join a celebration is a personal choice, to celebrate any day or not is fundamental human rights, cre...
