Great careers require great
foundations. Great career start from schooling. Does it mean send your child to
a great school? What do you mean by great school? Which school will be a great
school? Is it a school that charges
great fees? Is it a school that gives heavy advertisement?
The best school is the HOME itself.
Keep your child in home – as much as you can. The best teacher is the MOTHER. What
is to be taught? The foundation of the child is the basic belief system. How do
we build the basic belief system? Belief systems require you to have trust and
confidence. No teacher can substitute mother. No teacher can be as trusting as
mother.
Great careers are built on the
foundations of great belief systems. Belief systems are based on trusts,
confidence, attitude to life and the ultimate goals of life. 
Building great foundations - 6
Suggestions that can work ..
1. Start with trust – trust the child – accept the child, love the child,
respect the child and look at the child with admiration
2. Start
with positive attitude – enable the
child to see positive in everything around
3. Start with
exploration – enable child to explore the nature, to see the nature, to live
with nature – bare foot,
4. Start with
confidence – start small activities – play with sand, play with water, play
with plants, play with trees, play with nature – and build confidence in the
mind of the child – the child should be able to experience first hand
creativity
5. Create an
apetite for learning – don’t teach anything – let the child develop an apetite
for learning – don’t offer any knowledge to the child – let the child seek it
and then offer it.
6. Build imaginative
faculty – tell interesting and inspirational stories, show pictures, slowly build imaginative
faculty of the child – enable the child to cultivate his imaginative skills at
its own pace. Let the child nurture wild
ideas.
GREAT CAREERS – GREAT UNDERSTANDING
OF THE TIMES TO COME
Careers are also dependent on understanding
to changing times, changing technology, changing social trends, changing
fashions etc. you have to find what is going to happen in the years to come. You
have to predict the times of tomorrow. Careers should be flexible enough to
move in the directions of changing times. 
A simple law of demand says – society will chase something which is in
short supply. You have a simple relation between demand and supply. 100 units
are in demand, 100 units are in supply – this is ideal condition. This is not
possible. There is always an imbalance. This imbalance creates an opportunity
or a loss. It is a simple law. Ten years back, we required large IT
professionals due to arrival of IT related industries in India. IT
professionals were commanding huge price. Today the situation is different. We
have larger number of IT professionals than demand. The premium is diluting.
People are blaming the government for un-employment – but they should
understand this simple ratio of demand
and supply (law of demand and supply).
