The Life-cycle......

In Economics, I have studied the life-cycle of a product....

The product is first being put for a TRIAL in the market....
When the results are good.....the product is being INTRODUCED into the market......
In a span of time, it gains momentum and starts capturing larger markets...and finally reaches its PEAK....it becomes Matured......and then if not handled strategically.....it begins to COLLAPSE......!!!

I know...this sounds very theoretical....

But this Theory finds its application in each and every act of our life......

Say for example the 'Life-cycle of Success'

Any individual who takes up a task, wants to complete it satisfactorily.....that's the TRIAL with success....

When the individual is successful with it......he/she wants to take up some more tasks with the confidence to complete them successfully......that's the INTRODUCTION of success......

New tasks continue to be undertaken and success keeps on following.....
In this phase....even if some tasks remain unsuccessful....it may not deter the confidence level of the individual......since it is the PEAK of success.......the success is going through it's Maturity Phase....

Now comes the critical phase of this life-cycle......
If the success achieved is not handled properly and carefully then it may just be lost in a matter of few seconds.....
It may reach its END.......!!!
( Well....here I remember what my mother always keeps on telling me...."Becoming successful is very easy...but Remaining successful is very difficult.....!!!" )

But there is always something interesting I find in the last phase of any product-cycle....

A Possibility...that the Product could be REVIVED.....
Yes......a complete possibility that it could be relaunched....with a number of innovations.....new aspects, new features, new appearances and new purposes.....!!!

The phase of Collapse may be critical....but it always has at-least ONE golden chance of Revival....

It's also interesting to realize that anything that comes to its end never actually ends there forever.
It always has something attached to it...and that's HOPE...

Hope of a restart.....Hope of a reappearance......Hope of a re-birth...[ just like Ekta's characters :) ]....

What is required here is a Change of Perception and Creativity....accompanied with Determination....!!!

So look carefully......
What seems to be the End of the Road may just be the Beginning of a new Path.....

And so the Cycle continues..........













The Beginning.....

"Life is not always about saying things.....Sometimes it's also about doing things......!!!"


Today...I create my first blog....just to put some of my (once upon a time) said words into reality.....


This is just the 'beginning'........a 'start' for a new journey.....in the world of thoughts.......My thoughts......Your thoughts......Our thoughts......!!!!


I welcome you all to the World of Expressions ........!!!! :):)
