FIRST CLASS EXPERIENCE: Self Realization

“Don’t be another brick in the wall but another wall itself” – This was the first lesson I learnt on the very first day of my PGDIM class at Nitie by Dr Mandi. He is the one of the few people who struggle against their destiny and carve their own path and thus become a source of inspiration to others.

 I never realized how every minute slipping off my hand is carrying an opportunity cost tagged along with it, I never realized how terrible sin it is to be dependent on others and not able to support oneself and I never realized how wrong it is if a day is passed without doing any value addition to my knowledge or personality. This moment of epiphany was attained because of Dr Mandi. Not only did he tell about these bitter facts but he also shared how we, who are lucky enough to study in one of the premiere institutes of the country, can help in spreading knowledge and experience through social media and blogging so that interested students can learn without actually joining any institutes. Such novel ideas can take shape only in the mind of genuine souls who really want to help others in whatever way they can.

The importance of Entrepreneurship was also stressed upon. I learned how important it is for an MBA student to think of every point of time as an opportunity to make fortune. The continuous process of “Socho becho, becho Seekho and Seekho Socho” needs to be employed to bring in the element of enterprising in our thought process. Various alumni of Nitie stands testimony to the greatness of the teachings of the institute.

Many other fun and interactive activities were also conducted. But my mind remained stuck to those points of self realization which is a lesson learnt by me for all times to come......
