SELF IMPROVEMENT – On a Silver Platter Mindset
Mindsets change the mind. The importance we give to effort in life pre-decides the nature of life. The general refrain of pressure, over work, not getting one’s due is making rounds in all sectors and at all times. The productivity and positivity of such a society and workforce is certainly in question.
These are all manifestations of “on a silver platter mindset”, when things are supposed to happen in the way one wants, with the effort and impact he feels ideal. And finally a self certification. Self certification at its very best is an act of self deceit.
With the Himalayan effort put in during the academic career, landing up in a comfortable job instantly puts your grey cells into ” on silver platter mindset.” Life moves onto the expectation level when everybody else is to perform but for you and a make believe feeling that nearly the whole world is thirsty for your blood.
The student wants an examination system which delivers marks, professional college students want their institutions to deliver jobs, bureaucracy likes its default mode, the research fraternity its timely funding and non timely deliverables. The Indian private sector broadly also finds its genesis from the same mindset, successful entrepreneurs being different.
Successful life has been and will remain to be an endless saga of sincere efforts in pursuit of fulfilment in life, other goals getting automatically achieved on the way.
WITH MONARCHY BECOMING HISTORY, ON A SILVER PLATTER MINDSET BECOMES INTRINSICALLY VALUELESS.
