I always wondered Iam I relevant to this world
today ? What is the difference between two human minds. One has excelled in all
spheres of his life and other is struggling. One dies and the world mourns and other
remains as a mere number. What make someone to excel and grow. Why is that they
are more accepted than others. Is it any thing to do with the human body ,the
hard ware or the human brain, the software.
It is all to do with the mind. All of us receive the
same or similar hardware. Some look after them and some don’t. It matters to
some extent. All that matters is the software. Our human mind is like a
software. I compare this to the ever changing technology. Technology is not
static. Its highly dynamic. It is the outcome and manifestation of creative
minds. In the year 2011,I switched from a normal mobile phone to a smart phone.
It was a great smart phone. The charm lasted about 2 years. I moved to Android.
Still managing with it. May be will buy a new one soon. I always think, why
should I change my smart phone. But ,we change due to better specification. We
always look for new features.
Most of us who have crossed 40 or nearing 40,completed
our Graduation and may be Post Graduation almost 20 years ago. Have we upgraded
our software ? I mean ,have we updated our minds or we still exist in version
1990,the year we Graduated and stopped studying. Most of them are highly
contented with one qualification. They expect the qualification and their work
experience would take care of them and their families to the rest of their lives.Most get into their comfort zone and become obsolete over a period of time. The world needs highly talented, educated and creative minds. I have witnessed that the greatest competitor
to us is not our peers. Its someone who is almost 10 years younger to us. They
take away our jobs as they possess the right specification as on that day.
It is the matter of survival. The only way to be
relevant to this world is through education. Acquire new knowledge and skill
sets. Change your attitude and perception. Learn form anyone who can add value
to your life. Enroll for new courses. Attend Seminars, workshops, conferences, training
and certification programmes. Never underestimate the power of knowledge .Upgrade
your version from 1990 to 2015 and so on. Its a constant process. Change
yourself now and be relevant in order to be accepted.
