India needs more Entrepreneurs than Managers

We found this interesting article by Prof. Nandini Vaidyanathan's inspiring interview in 'Change for better' Encouraging entrepreneurs to promote nation-building: http://changeforbetter.org.in/index.php/makingadifference. We have shared this on our Facebook page also.

While posting we realized that there is need for some perspective of why people link entrepreneurs to promote nation-building. We strongly believe that for India to become a prosperous nation, entrepreneurs will play more important role than managers. India needs its own “Microsoft’s; Google’s and Apple’s stories and companies coming out its garages and its chawl’s”.

In this pursuit, people like Prof. Nandini Vaidyanathan; Manjula Sundharam and Online groups like Head Start plays a very important role in grooming the future Leaders of the country.

In India and world at large the economy is going through a testing times and the need of the hour is “entrepreneur not managers”. Entrepreneurs create the most positive culture in any society with their ability of creating products and companies by virtue of their inspired imagination. Along with their ability to allocate capital and their foresight that ultimately drives much of the company and the economy in larger context.

Inspiration can be derived from constant pursuit of excellence and happiness. You do not require reading or completing a Ph.D thesis to understand this. We all are blessed with incredible Power of Imagination and Reasoning which enabled us be evolved as Human Beings from our original state. 

 

Best Wishes & Happy Entrepreneurship

"Winning is a habit" speach by Vince Lombardi

Winning is a habit (Vince Lombardi)

As we start a New Year with High Hopes, Desires, Ambition and Aspiration let's listen to the "Coach of the Century" by ESPN, Vince Lombardi.

Vince Lombardi is remembered for his dedication, his infectious enthusiasm and his unforgettable quotes that continue to echo in locker rooms around the world. Click here to know more about Vince Lombardi

Watch, Listen and Read one his finest and motivating speeches:

 

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious". --Vince Lombardi

Wishing you all a very prosperous and sporting New Year!
