What Can You Learn From Psychopaths

Who exactly are psychopaths? We have many T.V series that have characters based on psychopaths and sociopaths. There’s Dexter, Sherlock, Joffrey Baratheon, Ramsay Bolton, Dr House and many more. Often the word psychopath and sociopath are used interchangeably but the truth is that they are quite different. The key difference between the two is that Psychopaths have no conscience ergo feel no guilt at all and are meticulous whereas Sociopaths do have a conscience but a very weak one and are quite reckless. Both these terms fall under the spectrum of Anti-Social Personality Disorder and have quite a few overlapping traits.

Business and Life : BCCI's Benevolence

Cricket stadia across small town India have suddenly started seeing the influx of large batches of school kids accompanied by their teachers and peons to attend the international cricket matches. The former generation would remember going to the stadium with their cricket-crazy families in the 90s - the madness of a stadium considered to be no place a school should organize an excursion to.

How I Found My Calling At IIM Bangalore - Rituparna Malik's Story

Often, when we are starting out in our academic lives in IIMs, the one question asked in interviews are: What area do you want to specialize in? Some say Marketing, some say Finance. And so many times, at the end of the two years, it is so different a specialization from that earlier dream that you start out with. Something very similar happened with me. I came here, answering marketing questions in the interview, while having no idea of what actually marketing is. I did not have any previous experience. Coming to IIMB, I realized Finance is the more respectable thing to specialize in given the apparent brainwork. So in the summers, when I got shortlisted by several banks, I thought Finance was my calling.

My Journey To IIM Rohtak And Expectations From It - Amit Pandey

Growing up in a lower middle class family, I always had a desire, instead of an aim. My desires were influenced by what I saw in the movies and society. I dreamed of being a rich man as shown in those Yashraj movies. Hidden beneath these desires was an innate aspiration to comprehend the workings of real world around me. So, I chose to graduate as an engineer but soon realized that knowing how a BMW worked was not as important as knowing why a BMW was such a prized possession. It seemed only logical to understand the bigger blocks after knowing all about the shapes and sizes of what comprised them. But collecting a gamut of information without an aim that combed through it was like searching for a needle in a haystack and that too with no information about that needle.
