3 Kinds of People

There are three types of people in this world.
  • One who Owns a Aeroplane
  • One who Drives the Aeroplane
  • One who Creates the Aeroplane

All the three are interlinked. One cannot live without the other. The creator will create a aircraft only if the owner orders or the owner can buy a aircraft only if the creator creates a safe and efficient aircraft.  The creator needs the driver to test the aircraft and the owner needs him to pilot the aircraft!.

Not only the aircraft. Any product or service involves all these three people. Each one of them are good in their own way. Each field is equally tough.

The Creator: 



Creating a Aircraft involves thorough knowledge in advanced mechanics,electricals,maths, material science.etc.
The creator should assemble all these knowledge into one! and the finished product should be efficient and safe.



The Driver:

 The driver needs to train himself to withstand the effects of high speed and temperature. His life is in danger as sometimes the aircraft fails. At these situations he needs to drive the aircraft to safety. The driver needs great discipline has he should not be rash driving. The driver should be able to be a good decision maker in a short time. He should maintain the aircraft regularly.




The Owner:

The owner should think twice before investing on a aircraft. He needs to calculate the expenses and the benefit he has in buying a aircraft. Whether for commercial use or personal use, the owner takes full responsibility for any problems. The owner should be very thorough in risk management.







As you can see, each field is very hard to be in. Each one is equally tough. But the society needs all these three people. So its your decision to choose which one you should be.
And the only way is to try all the three. If you try out all of them, you will realise your strengths and find which one your comfortable with.


Example:
                    Suppose Bank of America(Owner) needs a new software for maintaining its huge customer base and the millions of transactions that follows. Bank Of America goes to sonftware consultancy giant Accenture(Driver). Accenture needs a advanced programming tool to create such a big software. So they go for Visual Studio, a powerful programming tool created by Microsoft(Creator).
Bank of America should analyze a lot about its customers before buying a software. Their team of experts(Owners) should analyze the future,risks,expenses involved in buying the software.
Accenture should analyze the time needed for creating a software. Number of programmers needed to work on the software. And the programmers(Trained Drivers) should be able to create a software without any bugs.
Microsoft engineers(Creators)  should be able to create a powerful programming tool that can be used by the programmers(drivers) with great ease.



So you have three roles to choose. Try them all out! Enjoy them all!. And the one which you most enjoy. The one which you can continue for long hours. That one is you!
