Common sense dictates

Common sense dictates:

If you don’t like a system, you complain about it.

If nothing happens after you complain, or you are not satisfied, you look to change the system

To change the system, isn’t it better to plan and find, organize like-minded people who have the same world-view as you.

To do that, you have to start being active NOT passive (let them know you are out there)

Once you are pro-active, you start being the change you want to see.

The beauty is in your journey. (hint: there is no end)

And when you are changing, the world around you follows you and changes with you.

So what are you going to do about changing the system?

What if this system was the political system in Nepal? When would you start?

p.s a good book to read along would be “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coehlo.

Study done in 2006.

the disadvantages of an elite education

my experiments :), , ,

http://www.theamericanscholar.org/the-disadvantages-of-an-elite-education/

here is something (link above) that resonates with me against the backdrop where all the brain drain that is happening in Nepal and the way smart youths are progressing towards being cookie cutter professionals rather than the entrepreneurs, innovators, creative intellectuals/professionals they could become.

The writer stresses on the “disadvantages brought forth by the elite education system in the US (and the world… i will add). The system is gearing towards making careers, rather than making minds. They make professionals who cannot deal with the rest of the system or environoment they live around, rather than making innovators who can deal with problems of others inside the eco-system.

Our elite education system is fast becoming a system that makes “excellent sheeps” 🙂

When we send our smart youths away to study at the elite institutions in the world, maybe we are not going to get very much in return (in line with our expectations).

Nodding is fun to watch, but largely ineffective.

change, thought provoking,

Seth Godin talks about something monumental.  He asks and I quote ”

The Rorschach test question is this: When you read big ideas online, do you nod your head knowingly, do you argue in favor of the status quo or do you actually do something? Kevin wrote his book ten years ago. If you had known then what you know now, what would you have done differently? Of course, you did know it then. So, what do you do when you read stuff like this?

Do something as in start a new division, change a major policy, quit your job, launch a project, change everything? When people read great ideas online, I often wonder what happens to them after that… it’s not too late to start a Permission Marketing campaign, but it would have been better in 1999. It’s not too late to start treating your customers with respect or build ideas that spread either.

Nodding is fun to watch, but largely ineffective.”

It just makes so much sense for me since i read and nod “too much.”

More on this in seth’s lovely blog
