What gives?

Follow your Curiosity (FyC)
      to 
CoKreate/Hack your Genius (hKyG)
      to 
Maximize your magic in ~10,000 hrs (MyM)

In essence, approach your
Learning as Adventure and not as Hard Labour

Start with Questions (curiosity driven about problems preferably)

• -> Problems (design thinking et al)
• -> Ideas (have good and bad ones, and plenty of them)
• -> Hack one or more of them
• -> Skills will ensue, and so will Knowledge
• -> Habit creation of questions->ideas->hack->learn->repeat
  • The power of compounding - become 1% better every day
  • http://j.mp/improvementDaily along with Scott Young's brilliant blog on self-improvement http://bit.ly/selfThis

In short, "Develop the habit of private HACKING (problems+ideas+hack+skills+learn) and publicly participating in hackathons (constraints on time frame to produce a hack for a problem"

Mission and Vision

• ENVISIONED future - BECOME what in a constrainted time frame? Become #1 in delivering more genius per genius to the society to increase prosperity and wealth (medium term outcome)

• IPL-like MISSION - BE doing what even if not paid any money for it? - To prepare more talent to meet better opportunities by producing more learning (RFB)

• STRATEGY/TACTICS: *KnowHow * for how to have Genius happen inside a student? - http://j.mp/hackGenius

  • use this formula
    • Skill + No fear + No reward + Unrealistic but strict timeframe = Genius

• The Million dollar question? Who will do all the above? Who will help us do it faster and quicker than the competition?

Two sections

• KGISL-focused

  1. make a commitment, follow the instructions to the letter
  2. stipend from semester 1
  3. can ask for exit until end of semester 4 4. no monetary penalties 6. If exit is asked in semester 5 (beginning of 3rd year), they will have to refund any and all stipends paid 6. prize money, if any, can be retained by themselves

• Student-focused 0. Actively seek out what their curiosity, motivations, intentions are

  1. vast exposure to other companies, internships, etc
  2. no stipend during their study is offered by KGiSL
  3. can opt to come to move to "KGISL-focused" section no later than semester 5 (beginning of 3rd year)

KGISL-focused students will be provided first-offer for any fresher positions at KGISL. If they accept to take the offer they will offered a higher salary than provided to normal fresher students from other colleges. If they are accepted and paid a higher salary, they will have to commit to a maximum of 24 months service at KGISL.
