There are many tests in the net to find out
whether you will succeed or not. I have given one in a previous blog of mine too.
They are all elaborate and cumbersome. Here is a plain simple one that will
enable you to know instantly whether you will win or not.
How do you spend your free time (before and
after regular work hours and on holidays)? Tick the correct answer (the most generally
applicable one) after reading the questionnaire once.
1. I spend most of the free time at home or elsewhere
(Watching TV/movies, drinking or with friends)
2. I spend all of it with my family and kids
3. I learn the subjects for the university
course undertaken maintaining my present job
4. Working after hours in the office and during
most of the other free time, I try to think/know more about my job, related
innovative technologies, market, and future direction from the net or from
other sources.
5. I spend most of it for taking a new diploma
or learning a new skill and improving my knowledge base so as to improve my
career or profession
6. Spend some of it for entertainment, some of
it with family, some of it for pleasant reading and watching TV
7. Works on a second job to save more each
month. (Every month I do save a good % of my income).
8. I do not know how time flies. I have a
feeling that I have no spare time
9. I am always hard pressed for time. My work is
never finished
10. Sleeps, hears music, reads favorite books
and watches favorite programs
If you have ticked 3/4/5/7 (any one) you are
bound to go up and if two of them are applicable simultaneously, your success
is almost certain. You need to have
adequate sleep and spend some time with family. But the rest of the free time should
be invested for your future. As Dhirubhai, the founder of Reliance (pictured above) said, '60 minutes of an hour, 24 hours of a day, 7 days of a week, and 12 months of an year I had Reliance in my mind.'
Not the model of a man i would want to follow for anything in the world. IF you want to do anything in the modern times, it is best to try to create the greatest joy for the greatest number of people- not just how to create a giant company, which can employ countless money-driven weasels.
ReplyDeleteUp and down are very relative things- what is up socially may not be UP spiritually, aesthetically, spiritually or personally. So who goes up or down is not a universal attribute but HOW you perceive up and down.
Reliance n Tata equally employs more people than any other company.Their staff includes from peon to directors.With out these companies India wouldn't even be a developed countries.if your ambition is to start social entrepreneurship that also needs funds from people which will be mostly contributed by employees of the companies like above.
