ok...now coming to the issue of the day!

should we grow like a banana tree or banyan tree?

most of us concentrate on just one aspect of life...i think if we concentrate on only one subject or area and grow vertically like a banana tree or coconut tree or ashoka tree, then we can get easily cut by any one in the present and future world of high competitions.

so, we should grow like a banyan tree. No one or no organisation can cut us. No one will know where are the roots. When one root is cut there are other roots to support. The roots from the branches also will support us.

now how to grow like a banyan tree?

we should pick up our subject of interest while we are in our school with the help of those who can identify our skills and potential. While we study and score good marks we should grow in our subject of interest also.

When we join the college we should start our literature survey on the topic and start publishing papers. Our mini projects can be on the same subject. When we reach final year we should have some papers and mini projects to our credit. Final year mega project also will be on the same subject. In plant training also can be on the same subject.

When we enter the interview hall, they will certainly ask "what is your subject of interest?"...you will say 'this is my subject of interest. I have published so many papers in these journals. These are my project reports on my mini projects, in plant training and final year project. I have won these medals in various competitions at national and international level!'. The guy will faint and will offer the job the same time.

It may be a corporate job or R&D job or administrative job or any damn job!...keep working, adding your knowledge, skills, competencies and experience. Simultaneously keep growing in your subject. As i said earlier keep changing the subject every 5 to 8 years. May be less than that if you feel you have reached the peak or bored.

Never cut your umbilical chord with your mother...i.e educational institutions. Keep adding your qualifications to validate and consolidate the knowledge gained. Keep giving lectures and be a visiting professor.

Connect yourself with the educational institutions, organizations (govt, private, public sector), research and development establishments and any damn place or people or organisation related to your field of interest...at national and international level...

guide projects, guide people, guide organisations...the list is endless...oppurtunities would become endless...your connections become endless...your knowledge and experience would become endless...your growth would become endless...the truth is, you yourself will now know in which all directions and where all you are growing...like a banyan tree!!!

so, no one will know where are your roots or branches to cut them!...as you yourself will not know!!!

you will not run behind people and organizations. They will run behind you!

you will not age...you will not get diseases...as you will be 'learning' all throughout life...!

i am telling you, you will be really really rocking!

so, keep rocking guys and gals!
