I am so incredibly tired of checking pound after pound of junk mails daily. Interestingly, a day has come when I saw a mail with a subject line having this strange question that immediately seized my attention. I was curious about knowing the content of the mail and found it is no where different from others in the pool of junk mails. But later realized it at least triggered a sense of newness in me that I had shown in doing things.
And the day started proceeding in my usual way and slowly turned around in an unconventional way when I started putting this question perpetually. For each activity I did, I tried correlating to an incident that happened within the scope of the same – which is something different from my routine and which is something that I did for the first time.
In the rat race, we often fall because of lack of innovation and improvement. Many entrepreneurs have written their stories in history by doing something for the first time which we had not dreamed about and they felt the need of. The best example of this kind is Google and Apple for their extensive and exhausting research in the technology arena. Experimenting with things is one such ability that keep us on the track of improvement. Taking the road less trodden is always challenging and expects deep focus to succeed. In this so called highly competitive world reinvention is inevitable for everyone’s and anyone’s personal or professional development. Each of us should imbibe this idea of newness and progress by rejuvenating and lessening the time gap of reinvention.
Exploring new paths, newer opportunities and newest approaches of doing tasks is to be a habit cultivated in each of us. This can drives us in reaching the echelons and touching the skies. Our learning curve should always resemble an exponential growth. I remember the quote from director of IIMA referring the students of the nation’s best B-School as people with “fire in their bellies and stars in their eyes”, also clearly envisages that one should be hungry enough to accept the changes around and bring in some extraordinary efforts for betterment.
