Have you mention the line.. You should not concentrate so much on the final product and just enjoy the process of
reaching there. is this line really justify the Solkas meaning..? And is it contemporary according this world. ? I enjoyed
what have you write..

Hi
It says dont focus "so much" on the final product. Ofcourse, you need to have one vision before starting up
but only thinking about 'result' will not bring fruitful results. What you do, your "karma" matters! I'm sure many
entrepreneurs will agree that its the process which they enjoy the most, the ups and downs, the uncertainity.
