There’s ALWAYS beauty in innocence and in authenticity in life! 🌷

Of course a bit of humor can honor the moment of joy. 🥹 

How often will we be able to experience realism like this if we are conjuring a world of AI …. that’s ubiquitous! ?

When a baby, a dog, and a cat team up, chaos is guaranteed — and AI is just sitting there trying to analyze the disaster 🤖🐶🐱👶

Kumud, thank you for sharing these very important historical lessons.

🚀  To me ... 
~ a rejection is set up for resumption 
~ a setback is a precursor for a comeback 
~ a NO gets us ready for a N.O. - "New Opportunity" 

All of these moments do not define us as failures. Instead, these "failings" affirm our vision in, conviction in, faith in, and commitment to our dreams. 

These hurdles are necessary for new heights of experiences to be innovated, formed, and realized. 🌱

Some of the world’s greatest innovations were born from rejection.

Visionaries who were underestimated went on to reshape entire industries.
🚗 Toyota rejected a mechanic’s new design idea- he built Honda instead.
🐂 Ferrari dismissed advice from a tractor maker- he built Lamborghini.
🏎️ Lamborghini refused to fund an engineer’s carbon-fiber project- he built Pagani.
💻 HP turned down a computer idea from their own engineer- he co-founded Apple.
🎮 Nintendo walked away from a Sony engineer’s disc-console concept- he built PlayStation.
📼 Blockbuster laughed at a founder looking to partner- he built Netflix.
Rejection isn’t a dead end. It’s a redirection.

Sometimes the “no” you hear today becomes the reason you build something the world can’t ignore tomorrow.

If you’re working on something bold and people don’t get it yet…
Keep going.

What’s one rejection that pushed you toward something better? Share your story below. 
Repost as someone might need this reminder to keep going. Thanks!

With over two decades of experience in strategic leadership and innovation, I've had the privilege of contributing to organizations across various domains. My focus has encompassed operations, cost control, team productivity, and project management, where I've worked alongside dedicated teams to implement talent and learning processes aimed at delivering value.

During my tenure at MHI Vestas, I had the opportunity to be part of a collaborative effort to introduce a Learning Content Management System (LCMS), which provided the organization with a robust digital content production infrastructure for learning, knowledge sharing, and performance support. I consistently identified areas for skills improvement and facilitated technical training programs for global production facilities, with the aim of supporting productivity, fostering employee development, and facilitating career growth.

One of the highlights of my time at MHI Vestas was the chance to contribute to leadership development by organizing quarterly training sessions for our SVP and VP levels. This initiative aimed to empower our leadership team with the skills and knowledge needed to excel.

Additionally, I had the privilege of playing a role in creating the MHI Vestas Graduate Programme, an initiative that attracted top talent and helped them integrate seamlessly into the company's culture and goals.

I also recognized the importance of data-driven decision-making and had the opportunity to assist in developing a performance dashboard and transformation plan, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the organization.

In summary, my career has been shaped by the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated teams and make contributions to various organizations. While I've played a role in these accomplishments, I also understand that these successes were the result of collective efforts."
