Dare to be different??



It is not wisdom , to be only wise

And on the inward vision close the eyes

But it is wisdom to believe the heart

Columbus found a world and had no chart.

In today’s world , parents teach their children to goto school ,get educated and get good grades for a bright future. But is it justified in the present world?

Most of the CEO’s of huge conglomerates are school or college drop outs, people with very nominal degrees but great vision and potential to perform. Does this mean that college education is not very helpful? Well it could be. All that we learn in our school and college is theory, how to solve numericals , how things work etc. A tremendous pressure is laid upon a student to perform academically. Companies employ students with 60% and above score, universities for higher education also demand the same. How justified is this? Why is a person forced to study things in which he has absolutely no interest? I agree education is important but does education constitute of studying subjects only? Nah….

Most of us prepare real hard for the competitive exams to get into a good B school.Is it essential to go to a business school to learn about business management? Again the answer is NO. A person who has absolutely no knowledge about the various management fundas might be a far better businessman than somebody who knows all of them by heart. A person who knows is the one who is scared to differ from it and is not adventurous enough to try something new.Whereas a person who doesn’t know about all these is someone who would always be innovative and imaginative.If such is the case then why do most of us slog? Why are we a part of the rat race?

The answer is that we are afraid to be different.We don’t want to stand out in a crowd because we are scared of criticism and failure. But it’s a fact that people who have the guts to be different and are bold are the ones who truly succeed in life.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or the faster man, Sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

PESEVERENCE



When things go wrong,as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
You want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
Silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell,how close you are?
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.
Its when things seem worse, that you must not quit!!!
