Considering Oneself as a Business of One (Sunday Binge Reading:03)

 

(Photo courtesy:pexels.com)

Business is not popular in Assam. People do not have faith in it. There is a trend in the West to consider oneself as a business of one even in the job. By definition of business, we understand that someone is selling something to earn money. We can say that we are trading our services to the employer in return for remuneration in terms of employment. So, an employer would like to recruit a specialist for the job rather than a novice.

The modern world is getting tough day by day. The recent trend in the job market shows that government sector jobs are dwindling in numbers in every sphere. The vacancy for UPSC has come down drastically in the past five years. This is due to the penetration of computers in every sector. Nowadays, an office does not need a room full of people as a simple excel sheet can do a hundred men’s jobs in a split second.  There is no reason to despair. There are plenty of high-paying jobs, but these are for skilled & specialized people. This is the age of skilled people. They can negotiate with the employers for high pay. The recent trends in tech sector companies say that loudly as people switch from one company to another for a better salary. The companies are also coming with attractive propositions like an insurance agent with hundreds of schemes. Therefore, students have to skill themselves with new age technologies in their respective fields. Moreover, the governments are pushing more and more for startups these days. Whether a startup or a job, we are all like a business offering something to someone for money. Nurturing the mentality will help us.

Avoiding Herd Mentality During College Life (Sunday Binge Reading:02)

 

(Courtesy: pexels.com)

Herd mentality means behaving in a particular pattern. Herd mentality has both advantages and disadvantages. In nature, we see some animals live in herds. The herd provides the necessary safety when a predator attacks. You can observe a pack of wild buffalos, which often become dominant over the predators such as tigers & lions. We humans also lived in herds thousands of years ago. As we progressed, we learned to be independent as there is no fear of such vicious imminent predator attack. But, the instinct is still hidden in our subconscious mind. At times, it forces us to remain in the herd because it provides anonymity and escape route from impending responsibility. In modern times, herd mentality rather affects adversely. It hinders humans from becoming a leader. In other words, leadership is looked at as responsibility and hence a liability.
Students in colleges & hostels spend most of their time with friends. If the group has lazy people in it, it influences the whole group. All the people in the group behave more or less the same lazy way because they find solace in their companionship. The group mentality helps the ‘ herd mentality' to be dominant over their decisions in every respect, such as seeking good marks in exams & appearing for competitive exams etc. Sooner or later, they lose their edge, and they enter the vicious circle of dullness. The herd mentality has to be changed. No one can live like that forever. One should make decisions that are in the better interest of himself, not because of others in their social circle.  If you think that something is good for you, you should go ahead. This is called breaking the barrier of herd mentality. Ultimately, these steps will help you be a better leader in the future because you make your own decision.
As a Training & placement coordinator, I have seen so many students having this herd mentality and never coming out. This ultimately hurts them. By the time they realize it, it is almost late. Once you are out of college, you become a lone player. Your past actions will judge you and bad decisions taken as a herd member will haunt you forever. So, make the right choices and never let others control your life.
