Some LEARNINGS.......................

I have just returned attending the inauguration and the workshop for ESPIRE - The All India Level Business Plan Competition to be held in our college (LIBA) in association with TIE and EDI on 23rd of November. There were many great personalities present there like Mr. Laxmi Narayanan (Vice-Chairman and Ex-CEO of Cognizant), Swaminathan (Founder of the company called Startup2Scaleup) and an entrepreneur who passed out from IIM A many years back.

After joining the course here in LIBA, I have come across many such people who have succeeded in the endeavours of their life. Many top brass people of several companies have visited our campus in the past three months. I have found three common characteristics in all of them.

First and the most important of them being their simplicity, a very high degree of calmness in their attitude and behaviour towards other people (Obviously, it may seem like that just because they are not representing only themselves, but their organisation, family etc in front of several new faces). But, still they are different from others in their behaviour.

Second thing is their sense of humour. This may seem a bit absurd at first reading, but, this has been a common characteristics among all of them ( The reason may be that they need to talk for 2-3 hours and to keep the students awake they need to crack some jokes often). Their timing has always been excellent.

Although last, but very important is that almost all of them had faced failures on the way to their goal and had to come out of many difficult situations. They had to stand tall against the obstacles in their life. After many such unprecedented events, they come out to be successful.

Today I was very much impressed by Mr. Swaminathan of Startup2Scaleup and got to learn many things from him which I could implement in my life to achieve my goal.
