Winnie the Pooh Syndrome

Final day of the Technology and Business Strategy Class today was marked by a case facilitation, some concepts discussion and then some words of advice by Prof Ramiro. We also went on to Boggo for a few drinks after this class, so that we can all mingle with each other and with the professor and get to know more about each other.

Anyways, a few new things that I learned in this class of today. Firstly, I heard a term for children of those parents that are too busy with their phones and PCs and stuff "The Blackberry Orphans" :-)

Interesting ain't it?

And then, there was this mention of an article, a book and a youtube lecture by one of the professors before he died - "The Last lecture" where he has mentioned the key factors to keep in mind when striving for success in life.

And the one thing that you are all curious by now - the subject of this post about "Winie the Pooh Syndrome". So, this Winnie the Pooh has a habit to come down from stairs only by hopping and there was some person [can't remember the name] who commented on it - that as engineers and entrepreneurs, we need to get rid of this winnie the pooh syndrome, we need to try new ways of doing things, we need to think different :-)

Anyways, another great class concludes today, glad to have taken this elective with prof Ramiro :-)
