Work for goal not for time.

isn't 9-5 a Very traditional concept ?When we are not standing In a assembly line and adding some pieces then why we continue to measure ourself with 9-5 presence. For that matter why this formula should be there for my kids going to school, doctors spending time in hospitals and so and so forth. Neither it bring happiness to individual nor it improves the productivity. This puts everyone just feeling that he is not important rather his presence is only which is required and take everything as routine. The autonomy factor is lost. A freedom to come and leave has higher potential to improve output, learning and efficiency.

One should himself feel why he is sitting on his desk and the reason should be enough motivating to continue doing so.
He or she should be passionately doing it and owning it . This leaves any chance of distrust between superior and junior. Based on the work , one should himself decide when to start and how long to seat to meet the deadlines.
Let them do it in the ways they see fit.
Happiness and productivity is linked to trust. I believe even the school children will learn more if they are freed from this culture.

Can we change this tradition? I know some of the modern companies and schools are doing it but in a very shuttle way...cannot it be done in full fledged way. Let me decide how long I will take to finish the job assigned to me and I won't mind doing it beyond defined hours without any pressure...is it possible!!!

Entrepreneurship and Creativity in teaching


I have been an ardent fan of Apple for long..but always ponder what on this earth stopped us from creating such things. Apple started in 1976, TCS is there since 1968, Infy is also of the same generation since 1988... And so are the other IT companies. Apple employs just close to 75000 people whereas Infy has more than 1.5 l and TCS is whopping 2.7 l. apple has revenues in tune of 155 billion whereas Infy is nearly 7 b and TCS has 10 b USD. With such comparisons, how does Modi’s and Rahul baba claims that we have superior manpower? The fact of the matter is that, we are naive. We are just followers; slaves who can work in a defined way of working, lowly paid slaves with abysmally low creativity level and can only provide low end services and feel happy blowing our own trumpet. Whatever the graduates our colleges are producing doesn't have the appetite and mindset to really create new technology. We can only survive at the bottom of the pyramid as hourly basis wage earners......dear leaders of the country, do you have any vision to bring change in the colonial mindset and revamp the education system . I would dream to see a Microsoft, oracle, apple , SAP being created in India and we not just remain the developers and testers and just being happy earning a few dollars in US and transferring back to the Indian account with 55 multipliers :( :(
