What made Thomas Edison invent the light bulb? What made Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? What made Tim Berners-Lee design the World Wide Web? What made Tom Anderson start Myspace?
What do these people know that the rest of us don’t? It is so simple; you’ll be embarrassed that you didn’t know the answer. Each of them had an IDEA. But just having the idea did not make them famous or able to create unlimited wealth.
The next thing that they had in common was that each of them DEVELOPED A PLAN. Without a plan, the idea would have dissolved. Once these men had their plan, they began to PURSUE THE PLAN without giving up. They took ACTION. None of these men were willing to give up. They WOULD NOT ACCEPT FAILURE. Finally, the best thing of all: Each of them was diligent but if his plan didn’t work, he CHANGED IT!!
So this is how to create unlimited wealth. You get an idea that you feel really passionate about. You get people to share that passion and help keep it alive when you get discouraged.
A strong support network is extremely important. It doesn’t really matter how good an idea is. If you sit in a room all alone thinking about it, never share it, and never write it down so you can see it, it probably will never become a reality.
Get people you really trust to share what they think about your idea. Maybe you need to adjust it a bit. Be careful who you share your idea with or you may find it patented by someone else! Don’t assume you can trust just anybody you talk to when you are all excited about your idea! Watch out! Someone else may be the one to create unlimited wealth...with your idea.
Get your plan written down and protected by law before you get too loud about it. Be smart and don’t take chances when trying to create unlimited wealth.
One of the best ways to create unlimited wealth with your idea is to patent it and then market it. You can get all the information from the US Patent Office on how to register a patent. After patenting, seek out companies who market ideas and inventions. They will tell you what they charge and you can decide if it is fair.
Marketing is essential in situations where there is a desire to create unlimited wealth. Real Estate Mogul Donald Trump, through his real estate and business expertise, generated an empire which will likely create unlimited wealth for generations to come!
We have established that an idea without action, protection, and marketing is just an idea, and that you need all these things together to create unlimited wealth. However, another key element which should not be overlooked is tenacity. Stay true to your idea and your ideals throughout your journey to create unlimited wealth.
There will be times when those around you don’t believe in you or your idea. They will call you a dreamer and tell you to get your head out of the clouds. Once you create unlimited wealth, they will be kissing butt, but for now they are skeptical. Remind those people that real friends lift each other up and encourage one another’s aspirations.
Even seemingly unrealistic goals are possible! Sometimes the best way to create unlimited wealth is to stop doing the ordinary and start chasing the extraordinary. This will mean sacrifices along the way.
There will be days of doubt, and so-called friends who will be there for you when everything is good will suddenly being absent when times get tough. That’s ok—in your pursuit of happiness and your voyage to create unlimited wealth, you will find out who your true friends are. That’s a good thing, in the end!
Don’t give up; someday your dreams will come true!

universities
April 18, 2006 18:11 ISTFor the first time ever, India's second largest software exporter Infosys Technologies would aggressively scout for talent in US universities, from where it would hire 300 fresh graduates.
"We will hire 300 fresh graduates from US universities and train them in India for making them a part of our global workforce," Nandan Nilekani, managing director and CEO of Infosys Technologies said at the CII Annual General Meeting.
He said that the company has been hiring foreign nationals but it would be for the first time that it would hire on such a large scale directly from US universities.
The fresh graduates hired from US universities would take over technology and management functions. The company would train them for nine months at its Mysore traning facility, which is the largest of its kind in the world.
Overall the company plans to hire 25,000 people in 2006-07 to take its headcount to above 75,000.
Of the 25,000 people that Infosys plans to hire, about 18, 500 would be absorbed by the parent company (Infosys) and the balance 6,500 by its BPO subsidiary Progeon.
The company hired 22,868 people in 2005-06, taking its total number of employees to 52,715. There's another feather in the much-adorned IIT cap.
The United Kingdom-based Times Higher Education Supplement has ranked the Indian Institutes of Technology as the third best technology universities in the world for 2005.
In a statement, THES said: "Our peer review of the world's top technology universities shows that in 2004, the high praise for the Indian Institutes of Technology was no fluke. Up to third position in 2005 from fourth place last year, the IITs are a source of Indian national pride as well as innovation and wealth."
The technologists among our peer review panel regard Imperial College London as the UK's hottest university, ahead of Cambridge University and fifth in the world, the statement adds.
The rankings, THES said, is dominated by the United States, no surprise for the world's top high-technology nation. It appears 26 times in the top 101 institutions in our list. For once, this area is one in which Harvard University ranks outside the elite, appearing in 21st place.
"Our definition of technology covers the main engineering disciplines including information and communications technology. Viewed alongside the tables for science subjects, our rankings suggest it is possible for a university to be strong in science but not technology, and vice versa," THES said.
The top science institutions, Cambridge and Oxford universities, cut less of a dash in engineering and IT, placed 6 and 13, respectively, while the IITs come 36th in science despite being third in technology. Overall, 10 of the top 20 institutions in science are rated by our peer review panel as being in the top 20 for technology and IT.
In contrast to science, many technology academics appear rarely in the world's top research publications. This applies especially to institutions outside the English-speaking world but also to some well-rated universities in Australia and elsewhere. It suggests that big US institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley generate not only highly regarded papers but also many commercial innovations and spin-offs, THES said in a media statement.
