Gargi: it's not that i dont see what u mean but any third person or laymam/comon man will think that how can u manage it without getting anyhing n working full time on it, after all everybody needs to fulfil it's needs. i think renuka also wanted to ask something like this. so see if u can put something for that, i donno if i'm clear, or if i'm too straight, just try to take rt out of it. Omee: Let me try to rephrase my answer and lets see if it is easier to understand....
ok here it is:
1. "Our family manufacturing business and investments are good enough to support our family and probably even my kids and my brother's kids, and that is one MAJOR reason I am not worried about money. My parents and my brother are currently looking after it.. and if need arises I too would join in it. I am already a legal partner of the company, but I am focusing my time on this project fully."
Ps: Neither of us are even married yet! [ So no kids either! :-) ] and I am happy being single! :P
2. I look around and study ultra successful people... I find that ALL of them they have one thing in common:
They find a need and fill it with a serving heart. I met many successful people and also met with people who are doing/have done this study. All of them agree on it. Most of the ultra successful people dont care about the results (although they know that results WILL be there in their life some day or other.. but they are not workign for results) ... they are simply enjoying the process of serving. LOT OF people are a lot better because of their service/product.
3. Honestly, I am just copying their thinking and their wonderful attitude! :) I am sure you see me doing the same thing!
Ofcourse I had to do lot of soul searching to find out what it is that I love doing.. and when I finally found out that "Helping people" is what my life is all about! Then I had to be specific... so
"Using technology to help people, especially natrually/accidentally challenged people" is "it" !
and THATS precisely what I am doing! :)
4. I started for visually challenged people, soon there is a solution for people who have difficulty hearing, as well as those who have difficulty hearing as well as hearing.
So you see its the PROCESS of doing what I love to do, thats marvellous and enchanting!
Who cares if I dont get money out of this!?? may be some people do! NOT ME! :) most people dont even know how much joy it is in DOING dedicately what one really really really loves to do!
5. One more important thing:
I am just happy that I will have millions of friends all over the world!
Just imagine... there are disabled people in almost every nook and corner of the world!
I know I can make a tremendous positive difference to their lives, permanently!
Let me ask you a simple question: Assume that you are in my place... and you have a choice to
1. Make yourself a millionaire by selling this and having a millions of customers.
or
2. befriend millions of people... ( and they are so wonderful creations of God!)
What would your choice be!?
Well.. that is YOUR choice! (whatever it is! I am happy for you! cheers! )
I have lived with lots of money.
I have lived with out money.
I have lived with out any friends.
I also have lived with lots of friends...
Money does not matter when I dont have any friends.
Little money does lots of wonders when I am surrounded by noble friends.
my
PERSONAL pick is #2 .. I want friends everywhere I go!
:)
Gargi : n secondly what i think is anything given for free has no value in peoples mind. so if u can charge something may b for fund raising for future production of goggles etc. or some work share promise as further progress of trainers chain if not money, or some form of input instead of getting it free.
anyform of help as per who has what best to offer, but not free as far as possible.i hope u get me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bye. tc. [:)] Omee:
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly..... feel the air you exhale on your had....
Drink a glass full of water, listen to the birds singing., relax under a tree in shade, smile, gesture encouragingly..
it wont cost you or the reciver anything.
Best things and essential in life are usually free. :)
....alrite we pay taxes/charges for water supply.. but its for filtering the water... and to get it in ur homes... not for water by itself. ;)
[Infact I plan to work for/with/help/make organisation for making basic necessitites of life free for all .. every one on this planet! Thanks to Archis Gore for introducing this concept to me! So that atleast our future generations whould not have to be worried about SURVIVING on this lovely planet!]
About the future projects, and fund raising for goggles.. : (this would be the first instruction with goggle)
"Dear ___ (reciver of the of goggles) ... you surely are not paying anything for this device, BUT this does NOT mean that it is free!
You are recieving this goggle because some one has already paid for it on your behalf!
If you would like to share the gift of vision you have just recieved, then simply help others get this device too."
HOw does this sound to you? :) Nice! isnt it!
Well, people are basically kind hearted. They like to help others.
And what could be a better service for me and all AUXEL team members to do, than giving people more and more opportunity to people of serving others!?
Trust me people really want to help others!
( Hey look at yourself for instance! :) you wont be reading all the way though this write up unless you are so eager to help! so dont worry! )
:)
"Value in people's mind" is indeed that! Its the level of importance in THEIR MINDS!!!
and only they themselves have control on it! Others can merely suggest / inform!
Price tag may help to increase the percieved value in general public's minds....
There are at least 100,000 people who are visually challenged.. who simply might can not afford basic
living expense... forget about the hardware.. forget about the software in this hard ware!
I pray to God to enlighten the understanding of the people who can not value something that is going to benefit their own life .. just because it is available free! I dare to call such people ignorant.
I rather work to reach out,help and care about these 100,000 people ( I some how believe that there just might be many more people like that) ... than trying to knock some sense in ignorant people's heads!
and any way.. even if ONE person in the world was to be benfited by this project. I would still do it. (yes free!)
JUST to see that radiantly graceful smile on his/her face! :)
about help from others
You know.. a wet noodle is far too difficult to push ... and its far too easier to pull! Have you noticed this!?
Simliarly.. its terribly terribly difficult to make some one help others!
And why even bother doing that when we have soooo many amazing people all around us who are
so eager, enthusiastic about helping other. Most of them usually and frequenty go out of their way and help others!
Time and again this has been my experience as well as that of most of my friends!
Yes 99% of people are basically nice and and remaininig 1% although may not appear to be nice.. they are indeed human being with messed up thinking... and once that thining is cleared out.. they too realise that they are nice and start behaving nicely.

http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/feb/20inter1.htm 'The overwhelming problem is terrorism' & 'Basically people are good'
There are so many people eager to help in various forms from all over the world. Money, guidance, some want to learn and teach it to other, some want to help blind people contact auxel team, some want to help install the software, some want to buy them a mobile phone (or even the hardware when its ready) , some want to help create the software, some want to help by telling this to as many people as they can, some want to help in project for deaf people, some helping me use better words ("Avoid using the world 'blind' instead say 'visually challenged'), some want to simply thank me and auxel team , some want me to come to their home and help me help the people in their area, some want to .. list in endless.. and ever growing!
WOW!
Life is so wonderful! !!!
Lets celebrate life!!
:)
I am so very glad that you have already started celebrating and enjoying it with us!
cheers
