Entrepreneurship: The code of creation.

You have journeyed all the way with me, and we are here. Let me remind you of our wonderful journey together. And let me re-introduce myself. I am the Entrepreneur. I was tiny and unicellular, I moved around in the prebiotic soup. I am sure , you mighty observer, must have dismissed my micro and insignificant activity. I was helpless and vulnerable, and many the likes of me just vanished without a whimper.I somehow managed to survive, barely. I just hanged on enough till the next major evolutionary step. Despite the harsh conditions I multiplied. My offspring evolved, mutated and adapted better to the environment. As a matter of fact, it would be wrong to call them my offspring, because all this while it was me in the extended history, taking various forms, wearing various bodies, embedded in the genetic code.I am the code itself.

Time moves slowly in the prebiotic soup, in the short term there seemed nothing but failures and setbacks.(Have you noticed that the further we move forward the faster the time moves?) But, dear observer, you failed to notice the occassional muatations in your casual glances.Did you notice that I had already developed an elaborate energy synthesis system inside my multicellular body? Of course you did not. All you saw was a wobbly, awkward blob of mass bobbing its way in the murky waters. My real weapons were hidden from your casual sight. In your eyes, I appeared a loser.(Have you heard the phrase: “There is more than meets the eyes?”).

My life was almost over when I was knocked down by that giant creature with big teeths when I ventured in the dry lands. I was half eaten alive. I hid in a corner, licking my wounds(did you notice my newfound tongue?). But I pressed on. I did not complain or rebel. I started from where I was left for dead. I started with half my body. Miraculous laws of nature came to my rescue, I was whole again. I soon realized that if you just hang on(and use your tongue), miraculous laws of nature come to your aid to make you whole again. You see, I learn constantly from the environment, the laws of nature–I am like a sponge, I absorb the new information and that becomes a part of my code, my DNA.You cannot be an entrepreneur without being a sponge. And you cannot learn the laws of nature without being half eaten alive. You see, you just cannot be an entrepreneur without that.

Now that I am here, replicating my code, enhancing it and replicating again. I am here after thousands of years of evolution. And what do I see? I see that the carriers of my code have forgotten what they really are: Entrepreneurs.Carriers,You don’t need a school, or a training institute to teach you how to be one, because that is what you essentially are: an Entrepreneur, right from the very start.And you know what? You don’t have a choice to be otherwise. From the time you were nothing but a code, that code itself was Entrepreneurship, otherwise you wouldn’t have survived. And to survive and thrive, that is what you have to do– just read your own code.You are the one who writes it and you are the one who will decode it. In short : Know thyself.And when you will know, you will be known.Then you will realize that  you are the observer and you are also the observed. That you are an extended reality and nothing, I mean nothing, would be here without the code.The very existence of universe bears testimony to my code,my DNA :Entrepreneurship.Without it nothing can ‘be’.And without ‘being’ nothing else matters.

(May the force be with you!)
