ashu,

i do not want to push this discussion behind "tamang" vs "zuckerberg" nor want to talk much about individuals. Today's success are founded on yesterdays' system. Tomorrow's success depends on today's system. General observation is that today's system is getting worse than yesterday's system. Otherwise, Nepal would not be an island of poverty and lawlessness in between those two giant improving economy. If the system is good (e.g. IRS monitoring FB), then we tend to overlook the transparacy. If the system is questionable, we tend to seek more transparacy. That is human nature.

For a private company, if it is OK to do anything to keep investor, customer, community and tax people happy, then we should stop talking about corruption and foul play. Corruption makes everybody happy except those who want to see a good and fair system. I have seen a I.Com pass man (from Minbhavan campus) earning six figure monthly income in Nepal. He made everybody happy (his Sahuji and hakim saheb, client, family, friend, local social workers, politicians). His earning model was - 4 lakh kar tirnu parne, 1 lakh ma milaidinus, tapai 50 hajar rakhnus, ma 50 hajar rakhchhu, sahuji lai pani faida, 4 lakhko kaam 2 lakhma bhayo. This model is widespread in almost all business sector in Nepal. I would not encourage US returnee to succeed that way in Nepal.

I agree with you that learning from failures and changing the course is a smarter way to success. The "unsuccessful" lecturing carrier was brought in the discussion just to mention that the story of the "success" is incomplete because it has not touched such crucial information, which could be useful indeed. Besides, I know what Tamang has done to make his investor, customer, community and tax people happy, but I don't write those information here in sajha just to make my point or just to provide evidence how successful people have exploited corruption, lawlessness and loopholes in the system. If a reader knows his "unsuccessful lecturing carrier" is missing from the "success" story, s/he should know that the story may mislead and make his own judgement on the story. If someone does not want to understand that and continue blindly follow the story, then may god help him/her.
