Recently my college - IMT Ghaziabad has introduced a mandatory three credit course on Sustainability and Social Responsibility (SSR), aimed at action-based learning on efficiently catering to the needs of the society. So when our batch was assigned this course, I was naturally wary of it. Firstly, because I had my own apprehensions and notions regarding social work. I consider social initiatives are a work of great responsibility and compassion which might get diluted by grades and assessments. And secondly, I sometimes don't like to do things that I am simply forced to do. So my main objective while choosing the project was that I really wanted to do something in which I would not worry about marks and academics, but in turn try to do something that would make an impact, however small it may seem in the lives of the innocent children, with whom my team: ‘Being Social’, and I would be associated.
Helen Keller said, "The only thing worse than being blind is having a sight but no vision". But for an entrepreneur, the worse thing would be - having a vision but no way to bring that vision to life. So what does it take for an entrepreneur to move his idea from his mind to the market of millions? In this video, we have professor - Dr. Shailendra Vyakarnam, from MYRA School of Business, recounting how 'Cobra Beer', a UK based company, became to be, the challenges it faced and the journey Karan Bilimoria - the founder of Cobra Beer embarked on to bring 'Cobra Beer' to the world. If you are an entrepreneur or a wannabe entrepreneur, watch this video to know how one entrepreneur made it to the market of millions.
Achievers have an innate sense of purpose powering them through troubled times and if at times they didn't know where they were going they were willing to take the risk of finding out. On the other hand, if you look at some people who are in a secure profession albeit in roles that they dislike, coasting towards the end of their working lives, you will find one thing in common, regret! The regret of not taking the risk to avail opportunities, the regret of unfulfilled desires and the regret of never knowing what their true potential really was.
