6. Who will develop the nation?
……….Few thousand Shwetas?
…………Or millions of Ramesh?
What should we expect from students at other not so good
schools in India?
When Ramesh enters his professional life he is already so bogged
down in competition that he struggles to think and act
independently.
………..Did Ramesh lack the desire to be successful?.
………..Did he not deserve to be successful?...
………..Is IIT, IIM, HBS the only way to success?. ...........Definitely NO !
7. Today Indian students needs to be very lucky to have
exposure of good career related information and
advice ………....and this is the root cause of
Ramesh’s failure.
Common reasons amongst students for choosing a career:
My father wants me to be an engineer and my sibling to be a
doctor.
My father is an engineer / doctor and I want to follow his footsteps
All my classmates want to be engineers.
My cousin sister is an engineer, she is very successful .
IIT is the best place I can go ,after school .
8. And Life goes on….
Students invest all their time in
being the best. Striving hard to
get good scores in high school
and then prepare for entrance
exams.
Parents are very less aware of
the trends and are very greatly
influenced by successful
engineers, doctors and
beaurucrats around them.
Schools concern themselves
predominantly with the high
school scores.
