So, dear habrasoobschestvo, bring to your court adapted and revised material transfer Oliver Emberton, in which we have tried to draw parallels with the world of IT. We, of course, do not impose their point of view, but seems to us that the experience of Oliver can be used in virtually all sectors (as in my personal life and in his career) , the more that it presentation of the material is quite relaxed and not like a monotonous notation. The article, which is shown below, was discussed by our team (like the вот This ). We will be glad if you share your opinion. So true James Bond stories, but ... a little more flexibility and fun. Bond villains of the world a few boring.
Our villain - a businessman-spender and / or scientific genius, charming, cheeky, titanium self-confidence, which is ready to challenge the world and managed to найти his calling . Imagine Tony Stark in real life. Like all the "good" villains, our most noble intentions Tony. He is eager to make the world a better and know what is really capable of it.
What it reminded us? B> It is nothing like our own thoughts on the stage of development of service Witget. We also wanted to some extent change the world, or rather, his little world of promotion. And at some point realized that we can benefit people who are faced with the same problems as we do. Yes, we have to earn it, like Tony Stark in their technology, as discussed below.
What benefits can be drawn from this? We need to understand that you can earn by solving for the other task that you have successfully decided for themselves. Not the fact that many thought of this before. Maybe you'll be the founder of a new market?
Tony was born in New York, where he was provided with a good future. It soon becomes clear that he is able to build a world TehnoImperiya. By the time the world's oil resources are almost depleted, Tony developed a revolutionary new forms of sustainable energy. Middle East for several years immersed in armed conflict, and, through the use of inventions Stark, countries around the world manage to recover. And the people, for the most part, he was grateful. In its 40 years, Tony has a status comparable to the current wealth Buffett and Gates. But the success of the tires, and Tony switched to something else. Extreme poverty in Africa - that's what he perceives as the biggest sore on the body of the world. Tony decides to put an end to this, and believes that he will succeed.
What it reminded us? B> We also met and started working together in the city - Moscow. Not only in the field of oil refining, and in the field of Internet marketing, which today is one of the most important for many companies, because, as Gates once said, those who do not have the Internet, may feel that they are not in the business.
What are the benefits of this can be learned? B> We need to understand that you should not get hung up on one area of activity, ignoring everything else. How to know, and suddenly everything will turn out better than you can dream of?
Tony sees only possible radical solution to the problem: the construction of a new city - and its financing Tony is ready to take over. It offers a number of African countries to hire hundreds of thousands of local citizens, whom he will train and attract foreign experts to build a city where millions of people will be provided with housing and jobs.
As part of the deal, Tony reserves 20% of the central area, the rest of the land he gives to the people who helped build the city. Instead, as Tony asks for significant tax breaks and political concessions, including the legalization of any scientific research.
What it reminded us? B> It is very similar to the way we engage our angel investors. And then, as participated in competitions and accelerator.
What are the benefits of this can be learned? B> If you believe in your idea, you have to:
• confirm its "aptitude" with independent experts (that and a good contest and if your idea is bad - you say about it, and you will understand that it is necessary to change (or abandon the project at all!));
• Do not be afraid to attract investors, even if it would mean that you have to say goodbye to something (for example, full freedom in making decisions or part of future income), because otherwise you can generally be left with nothing.
Despite major doubts, contradictions and accusations of imperialism, the plan accepted. Ten years later, thanks to modern construction technologies, a new metropolis. Meanwhile, Tony enjoys the benefits obtained by investing heavily in genetic studies, which are prohibited in the rest of the world - particularly in relation to changes in the human genome.
This work has not gone unnoticed. Influential people in the US see Tony threat to the future of all mankind. His company produces revolutionary medicines one after another - the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, a simple injection, repairs damaged heart tissue. But all this is a hostile response: Is the purpose of money? Many countries in response to growing public discontent announce these products illegal, ignoring the needs of its population.
Of course, business is extremely important for Tony. Growing tension only helps his city - popularly known as the Stark - to become the most desirable place to live in the world. Tony moved there, continuing to expand the company.
Soon his research and development allow you to change the genes of living people, and even the unborn. Now, individuals can "optimize" its DNA by a simple blood and scanning synthesized viral injection.
At this point the world could not stand it.
With this development, the city's population Stark and many new neighboring cities can actually get rid of all congenital malformations, diseases, low level of intelligence, physical disabilities, and increase life expectancy. Soon technology allows us to develop extraordinary mental abilities, increase eidetic memory and motor control movements. Change your DNA now - the same usual thing as an operating system update.
All countries of the world in a panic, and especially - the United States. It soon became clear that this technology is not enough just to make illegal. Everyone who passed the procedure of "optimization" can earn a lot of money, being donor sperm and eggs. The public is beginning to act for protection of the gene pool, fears are growing that the "normal" people will soon disappear - as a result decided to close the border and deny all these drugs. Countries opposed to Stark almost belligerently.
Tony is not a fool, when the inevitable happens, it turns out to be well prepared.
US mimic prevent terrorist attacks on its territory. Using this as an excuse, the coalition forces of the US and the EU would prepares to invade the city of Stark to overthrow it by force.
Unfortunately for them, there's a genius and becomes the villain.
Warfare of the future is not much different from its current level: the US still superior to all other countries of the world combined, and their power is almost completely provided by drones and missiles. Stark City, in fact, does not have any military force, with the exception of the police and security services, which are located immediately at the border.
In short, the first attack was predictable, though cruel: as military targets of the enemy was not the coalition brought down the impact on the aviation industry and the energy sector. But it was not important.
US drones stones began to fall from the sky, and the rocket, carrying loop, crashed into the ocean. Country easily to reflect the impact of the entire automation technology, which the coalition was able to mobilize: electromagnetic radiation interference from satellites, remote capture of computers and communications.
It is clear that countermeasures were not perfect, and hundreds of people were killed. However, a simple city could do great military armada significant damage.
Now Tony broadcasts a message to all the world, and his voice against the background of the video sequence with mutilated and charred corpses of civilians. "Many of you think we're evil. But we live in peace and isolation, and our only crime - a scientific practice that can put an end to disease and enrich the lives of future generations. For it is your government bring down death on our people. Ask yourself this Do you really want? After all, what is happening - it is their hands. We will not stop as long as they do not depart ».
On the hour the world waited.
Tony had no trouble finding their proxies, and they were mostly smart, crafty and organized people. They just hours damaged communications, commercial and transport systems of the coalition, in fact, destroying the power of the enemy.
The conflict continued, but not too long. Any attempts to recover and strike back immediately weakened technical superiority Stark. When Tony at the right time defeated the system of foreign satellites, the coalition gave the order to retreat.
Broken and wounded world conceded defeat.
For several years the ideological confrontation technologies and methods Stark extinguished even in the face of their practical advantages. Country one after another to remove restrictions on its research and development, control of gene purity became impractical, and then completely impossible. Soon Tony became an example for those peoples who used to oppose him. He found his стратегию victory .
It may seem that this victory - a rather one-sided, but think about it: Tony died in old age, being the richest of all who ever lived people, has become almost a king of their own state, and was finally able to permanently change the very nature of humanity. In a literal sense, he challenged around the world - and won.
What it reminded us? B> I guess we thought that you can not stop, on the way encountering difficulties in the form of denial of funding, it is not the results in terms of profitability, which he dreamed, etc. And most importantly - do not be afraid of criticism, if there is confidence in the correctness of the general idea. It should be improved to take any punches outside fully prepared!
As one wise man (Harvey Dent (Two-Face)): "You either die a hero or you live long until you become the villain." B> i>
Saying quite controversial. But ... there went to benefit the Tony and all those who believed in it, if he decided to die a hero? It is worth considering whether it is possible to give up, if for you - a team that believes in you ?!
What do you think? What would you prefer: to remain a hero or become a villain? to remain a hero (well, an unrecognized genius) turn into a villain and get my < other (in the comments) Only registered users can vote in polls. Sign , please. 145 people voted. 69 people abstained.
