Despite turbulence and other conditions keeping airplanes off course 90 percent of flight time, most flights arrive in the correct destination at the intended time. Despite  turbulence and other  conditions  keeping airplanes off course  90 percent  of flight time, most flights arrive in the correct  destination  at the intended time. The reason for this phenomenon is quite simple -- through air traffic control and the inertial guidance system, pilots are constantly course correcting. When immediately addressed, these course corrections are not hard to manage. When these course corrections don't regularly happen, catastrophe can result. For example,  in 1979 , a passenger jet with 257 people on board left New Zealand for a sightseeing flight to Antarctica and back. However, the pilots were unaware that someone had altered the flight coordinates by a measly two degrees, which would put the plane 28 miles east of where the pilots a...

“Nothing worth having comes easy”, we all have often come across these lines, but how many of us have experienced the truth behind these lines? In life we all set some goals, some may be far-fetched some maybe for the near future, but to achieve these goals it is important that we work with our hearts and souls. It is important that we put in hard work and do not go for shortcuts, sometimes in life our goals seem to be unachievable and we start losing patience, so we start looking for shortcuts since we get tired and think that hard work is bringing in no results. Yes, the shortcuts may look easier and sometime you may reach close to your goals, but is it really worth? The success achieved by shortcuts is short-lived; we often get tempted by the shortcuts and ignore the loopholes of that shortcut but later realize how big a mistake it was. Hard work will pay off sooner or later; the path of hard work is not easy but the destination it leads to will be worth all the difficulties....

Branson offers a straightforward program for those who aren't sure what they want to be when they grow up. Grab a pen and paper ...  "'What on earth should I do?' is a question every entrepreneur asks themselves at one point or another. If you tackle the challenge with curiosity and a can-do attitude, it is also the question that will launch your career," writes Branson. I'd bet the confusion isn't limited to entrepreneurs.  But whether you're an employee or a founder in the making, Branson's prescription is the same: Grab a pen and paper and answer the following two dead simple questions:  What do I love?  "Make a list of all the things you are passionate about or that interest you. It doesn't matter how trivial or random the items are, or if they don't appear to lead to an entrepreneurial idea -- one could spark an idea that turns into a business," Branson explains. Aspiring or serial entrepreneurs can go o...
