An excellent Goal

 for an individual would be to transform his name into a qualifying adjective from a proper noun. For example : If Dave happens to deliver an outstanding presentation, I'd refer to him as Steve Jobs. He may not compare with Steve Jobs per se', but my implication is towards the notable presentation skills.

Similarly, a very pertinent goal for a product company would be to position its product in such a manner that its identity transforms into a verb from a noun. For instance, today, we do not search for 'stuff' on Google, we plainly Google 'stuff'.

Needless to say, I am quite enamored by Google. Check the tags herein and thou shalt realize.

I write it here because this was an afterthought. Even 'Sachin Tendulkar' has transformed into a qualifying adjective from being a proper noun. That is greatness.

Cheers.

Is that why they are naming one of those daily trains after him? Because, after all Indian engineering is at par with Sachin's class.

very well said Nikhil. Actually this is also the concept of branding where the brand name generalises the product/concept.....like we all call it "Xerox" and rarely ever say "photocopying"... :)

Very pertinent example, Meghna and thanks for the appreciation.
