THE CHALLENGE IN YOU

Business is aspiration in life and not just a job to make your living.A career in business impacts your life and perhaps changes your life.A salesman works to make living and an aspiring business manager sells to build business.As you aspire for a business career,look within and ask your self do you bring that passion and challenge in you or just hope that your MBA degree will make you a good salesman and hopefully earn a decent salary .

From music selling shop to uk's fourth richest man, Richard Branson has this to say "for me business is not about wearing suits or keeping stockholders pleased.Its about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials".

First greatest challenge you face is to discover your own challenge and an urge to achieve it.
Be a self driven person who has ability to deal with competitive life and collaborate with your closest competitor.Professional careers involve competitive choices and rationally teaming up with your rivals.

As you decide to embark on a career, learn to set standards that you want to uphold.As someone observed about Ratan Tata, "It takes courage to play with expectations and deliver it".

EVERY ONE IS BORN WITH POTENTIAL

Rote learning, encouraged by our education system is bad. It really doesn't matter whether you score 98 percent of 78 percent. Many innovators have came from the middle class. And from the middle of the class - not the toppers, not the bottom ring. So get your fundamental rights.
     I find street vendors enterprise are smarter than the MBA student .A street vendor borrows at 10 percent interest, takes dept, pays back debt, pays rupees 15 for the kerosene lamp, has an investment of Rs 150 a day. He can do pricing, logistics,mapping of where he has to go, positioning of vegetables, whether at the front or the back, what to sell lower at the end of the day, marketing , so why call him uneducated? He does any thing a businessman does and has survived for 20 years, come what may, a bundh or a strike, procession. Without computers, without business managers.
   In our rote education, marks are more important not quality.But education should be about innovations, openness. It is not so in my institution and in India, that is why we are afraid of failure.
  When a college drop out like STEVE JOBS went on to change the world with his APPLE invention, what are we as a graduate worth?
Many a times say a Bsc graduate, takes Msc/MBA as further studies or a few joins low profile jobs like BPO, medical transcription, a data entry job at any pharma company. Am not criticizing these jobs, but this was to do, why do graduation?
   A Bsc especially chemistry,microbiology,zoology has been gifted by huge and enormous number of opportunities which i think we are more smarter than a Engineering student. A engineering student is found to be specialized only in a specific field but a Bsc student can use innumerable profiles from his studies. So use from the extreme studies and change the world...Think big ..think ahead...think fast....ideas are no ones monopoly ! ! ! !
   

OLD MAN'S YOUNG SERVICE

     On 12/Feb/2012, around 10:35 pm when me and my friend happened to log out from the work place, my friend found no petrol in his bike.So we happened to walk with the bike to the nearest petrol bunk,which was located 1 km away from the work place.
      When we reached the bunk we found it closed,we both tired and disappointed because we need to walk to another bunk which was again more or less 1km away from the a fore said bunk.
      But when we were about to vacate the bunk, a old man came to us and offered water to us.I was astonished , we both happily drank the water which was offered by the old man.
       Now we were ready to take the marathon to reach the next bunk, but the old man asked us to unlock the bike's petrol tank, and i found him carrying a 2 ltrs bottle filled with petrol. i said my friend, this old man might be selling the petrol at double the cost, and we were even ready to pay double the cost because we didn't have another option and i didn't wanted a marathon again.Old man gave us around 200 ml of petrol and we went on to pay for the cause. But he the old man didn't accept, in turn he replied that this is something of his interest to serve the people in this way which he has been doing past one year.
      This old man who is the proprietor of ALICE footwear shop located at commercial street, winds up with his store at 10 pm and comes to the petrol bunk located at coles park to serve the needy transporter up to 11:30 pm.
       I questioned the old man why do he does this, to which he replied :
      
      Do All The Good You Can


      In All The Ways You Can
  
      In All The Places You Can


      To All The People You Can


      At All The Time You Can 


      As Long As Ever You Can 


and that day i realized what have i done to the community and humanity,when a old man at the age 60 years can be so kind to serve the humanity, why not we ?


So readers, come lets serve the community and humanity in another way with our own ideas and views, one life serve it ! ! !

NO SUBSTITUTE TO HARD WORK

Few would doubt Thomas Edison's talent as an inventor,yet hes known to have said,"Genius is 1% inspiration,99% perspiration".There is no reason to doubt Wipro scion Rishad Premji's assertion that hard work matters more than smartness or talent.The world of business is full of success stories which i would like to share.A clerk in a trading firm in Aden went on to become Dhirubhai Ambani.From the Ashes of world war II Japan,Akio Morita built SONY.And from Steve Jobs(APPLE) to Mark Zuckerberg(FACE BOOK),the world is full of examples of those who had nothing more than a vision but went on to change the world.Sure this people were talented .But its one thing to come up with ideas,quite another to make them happen.Hard work is the critical input that separates the great from the ordinary.
    This couldn't be any truer in the world of sport.In cricket Sachin Tendulkar,hailed as arguably the greatest batsman of all times,is a study in hard work,known for practicing hours at a stretch,the little master hasn't given up the habit even after 20 years in the game.In contrast,players who were considered equally talented but lacked the discipline,such as Brian Lara and Vinod Kambli,have long fallen by the wayside.Similarly, Jamaican Champion sprinter Usain Bolt is supremely gifted.
    But that doesn't stop him from training six days a week. Despite having won numerous Olympic Laurels, swimmer Michael Phelps still Puts in 50 miles every week during peak training.
  Even in the arts,talent can only bloom through devotion and hard work.Musical geniuses such as Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Girija Devi, Ilayraja, A.R.Rahaman and others have years of practice to show for.Pablo Picasso wasn't born a great artist.Talent is bonus but scaling the peak of success is impossible with out HARD WORK!!!
