Hurricane is always accompanied by massive loss of lives and properties. But have you ever stopped to imagine how the trees survive this natural disaster?

When exposed to the dynamic collection of blows of the hurricane, the branches sway back and forth in the direction of the wind.

In their bid for survival, the leaves desperately cling to the branch; they never give up. The main woody axis of the trees hold the trees in a perpendicular height, bending back and forth to the direction of the wind, but for the flexibility of the trunk the trees maintain their positions.

After the storm the trees elegantly retain their positions. Every time they go through storms, they manage to survive, they have to, because their lives depend on it; the roots keep them strong.

At various points in your start-up journey, you'll be faced with storms that will try to break you. Don't ever give in, fight like the trees.

How strong are your roots?

Have you heard of the 18th Camel Story? No? Ok, i will tell you.

A man who had 17 camels wrote a will for his three children. The will
stated that the first child should get half of the 17 camels, while
the second and third children and should get one-third and one-ninth
of the 17 camels respectively.

There lies the problem, how can they possibly divide 17 into half (2),
one-third (3) or one-ninth (9)? The problem escalates as the siblings
were unable to find a solution.

They decided to consult a wise old man. The wise man listened
attentively to the content of the Will, after critically analysing the
will, he brought one camel of his own and added it to the 17, making
it 18 camels.

Then he started dividing the camels as stipulated in the will.

1/2 of 18 = 9. Hence the first child got 9 camels.

1/3rd of 18 = 6. Hence the second child got 6 camels.

1/9th of 18 = 2. Hence the third child got 2 camels.

After sharing the camels among the children, there was one camel left -
the one that the old man brought. The old man took his camel back.

The moral of this story is that problem is only a problem if you
refuse to look for a solution . Let problem solving be the focus of
your business. Be the one people run to when confronted with a
challenging problem - remember to use 18th camel story to try to come
up with an innovative solution.

The paypal story is a reminder that despite the uncertainties and ambiguity, we can overcome all hurdles if we never give up “ The goal - at least the way I think about entrepreneurship - is you realize one day that you can't really work for anyone else. You have to start your won thing. It almost doesn't matter what the thing it is. We had six different business plan changes, and then the last one was PayPal.

If that one didn't work out, if we still had the money and the people, obviously we would not have given up. We would have iterated on the business model and done something else. I don't think there was ever clarity as to who we were until we knew it was working. By then, we'd figured out our PR pitch and told everyone what we do and who we are. But between the founding and the actual PayPal, it was just like this tug-of-war where it was like, "We're trying this, this week." Every week you go to investors and say, "We're doing this, exactly this. We're really focused. We're going to be huge." The next week you're like, "That was a lie.
