Conviction is the Key

For best results, you have to convince yourself first about the greatness of the work. A startup will have a much higher chance of success if everyone there believes in heart that whatever they are working on, will change the world. Same is true even for bank robbery. If I have doubts in my mind about the legality or ethical correctness of the act, chances are I'll botch it up. Everyone in the team, starting from the top, have to believe in the fact whatever they are doing is the Right Thing. Obviously it comes from the top; otherwise will you work for a CEO who's not super excited about the product you're going to build? And as long as you are convinced, even if the authorities have a problem with it, it is their problem, you just accept is as an occupational hazard, but do not doubt your action. Not anymore Ganda hai par dhanda hai yeh.

It is the same reason even if I were a great singer, I'll never sound convincing when I sing "Jo bhaje Hari ko sada", because singing skills aside, I myself probably won't believe that's the way to achieve nirvana, or even the Param pada is attaining the nirvana itself. Maybe Pandit-ji trained himself to believe in the theory and hence could make the performance.

Maybe Kraftwerk really believes robots will churn out music in near future.
