Knowledge trumps

One day, I was riding on my bike at Dibrugarh town. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind that how the businesses were doing on a busy day in Dibrugarh. I kept on checking out shops and other small business entities. I could see either very less customers or no customers at all. There are lines of similar shops selling more or less selling similar things.  When, I came to Dibrugarh in 2011 to join service, there were a few numbers of shops. The shops number has grown but customers decline. E commerce is also greatly impacting them. Then, I heard that one doctor started his clinic in a busy area and could get only one patient in 6 months. Then, there is a spurt of MBBS students opting for APSC exams in large numbers.   It was not at all common. People are becoming doctors because their parents want them to be and there is no enthusiasm to learn more after the degree. So, business has become a difficult path unlike social media hype of many people doing well in business. The number may be one in thousand !! Some people excel and the most of the people fail. Especially, Assamese society is very service based and handful people have done it big in business. We have no role model. It will take time to learn the tricks of the trade. Therefore, I have understood that common business which everyone is doing will not click and will not fetch good money to live a comfortable life because, I can see common business owners are just living hand to mouth. Furthermore, our society is very price sensitive and there are thousands others to sell the same thing always five rupees less than you!!

 

USA is number one in the world because it has large businesses earning money for the country but the money is not earned through “jugaad”. The new business ideas are backed by knowledge. The knowledge comes from research and development. The current market disruptor Open AI in AI field is born out of knowledge not by some kind of cheap trick. Similarly, we too have to be knowledge based economy. Businesses should be backed by new research. Then only, one can earn big money and provide jobs. We need to remember “Goddess Laxmi follows the Goddess Swarasati*.”

 

Special note: As per Indian mythology and belief, Goddes Laxmi is Goddess of wealth and Goddes Swarasati: Goddess of knowledge.

Family support: Overestimate by students

  

(Photo source:pexels.com)

We are attached to our family. It gives us a sense of support at the time of our need. We can fall back to our family in the times of emergency. People understood it clearly during COVID19. However, we should not overestimate it.

During college, family tries to give a comfortable life so that they can continue their studies. To extend that support, family has to work hard. Though it may not be a case for rich people, for people hailing from middle class and poor background, it is a great struggle. During student life, one may not realize it but it is very difficult to earn and make ends meet for these people. Therefore, a student has to understand this. Many a time, students fail to see the plight and family members also do not want to tell their hardships. In such situation, many students have a false notion. They tend to behave like a king for whom the well of wealth will never dry. So, they continue in a relaxed manner. Once, the degree is completed, they suddenly witness the dark reality. The money suddenly vanishes because it gets distributed among the other siblings to continue their studies or the money is saved for future retirement. Now, his  reality is to get a job or start something to earn. Then, the uphill task starts. If you are good natured, you will continue to get pocket money and that will be it. Nobody will give you lakhs of money to start a business even your parents. Frankly speaking, they do not have faith in you because most of the life you have not sold a single pen and business means selling something to someone for profit. Then, you start preparing for a job and you just repent for the wasted times and lazy approach during your college. You just start studying same things again from the scratch. So, one need to be careful during college and should spend time learning skills and honing skills for future so that the transition becomes smooth.
