If there is one thing I have
seen and learnt in the first three weeks at IIM Shillong, it is the quantum of
difference that a dedicated group can make. The world would be a better place
if people could be convinced to donate small, or large, amounts of time to make
houses, cook food, teach language and arithmetic and provide healthcare to the
underserved in their community. Discontent engenders frustration, and
frustrations lead to protests and violence and other issues that make living
difficult in the world.It seems extremely optimistic, but donating time could change the world and very
quickly at that. Of course, monetary inputs would be required. But, as long as
education is not overlooked, the underserved will rise
and emphasis on equal opportunities for everyone will help solve or, at least, attenuate most of these
problems and make the world a better place.

Ray of Hope in North East
Coffeehouse
A few really awesome websites to visit. An amazing amalgamation of creativity, wit and humor. Have loads of fun browsing through them:
Ideal Entrepreneur
“The only
thing constant in life is change”
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
An ideal
entrepreneur clichés to an individual holding a university MBA degree but incidentally there are several examples of exceptionally successful
business tycoons in today’s world who have managed just fine without university
education. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Michael Dell – the list
goes on.
Adaptability
is the key to survival, and to succeed, it is absolutely necessary to run ahead
of the times. A successful entrepreneur is one who is on top of his/her game
and who is ready to take the leap of faith for change, and risk losing all in
the process. Fortune favors the brave, and calculated risks are rewarded more
often than not. Not only does he taste success, but he also manages to constructively
influence lives of people around him. An ideal entrepreneur, therefore, is the
torchbearer of change.
