[kictanet] Kenya's "Silicon Savannah" to challenge India on IT

[Harry Delano]

Hey,
 
Just thinking aloud, that perhaps the first most important step, is to
dream, dream really BIG.
Then the import of it will not just be to have a passion for an idea
hijacked from elsewhere, but 
to birth and own, and passionately run with it. And the rest, as they say,
will be in the annals of
history...
 
Harry

Hi

The first step is to have a passion for what you want to do, then identify a
problem that needs solving and solve it all for the fun and passion of it
not the money.

Mariga, Ronaldo and the rest of the ilk first played soccer for the fun and
passion of the game the scouts, enforcements and money then followed.


Regards


PS.  I was recently reminded that once you have rent to pay your ability to
do anything new diminishes exponentially and once the kids come along forget
about coming up with any radical, industry changing application or business
concept.  If the idea was not incubated when you where in high school or
campus then join the large band of IT vendors as the other train has left.

This will give you an insight into how we can go from being a talk shop and
baby cries and get down to doing some serious productive work.

Without fear I will repeat what I commented previously "money follows great
ideas; period". I also like a comment from a Google employee, in one of the
documentaries, "Google is an extension of college"


What's the first step?
