Two types of Human beings and Work.

Dear Readers

Very well said by Edwin H Stuart (An American actor) “Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.”

There are two types of persons in the prospect of doing work, the one who do the work after being told and the other who use to initiate by themselves. Most of the time people of the first category are right in doing any task. The fear of being wrong makes the category of the first type of people the same and they never try to experiment. Such person seldom creates history while the other groups are of scientist nature and they keep walking on the path of change, discovery, invention and innovation. This is not the fact for those people of the first category that they can’t turn themselves into the other one and vice versa.

For the people of the first category there needs motivation of themselves and the need of inspiration for ignition. I am saying ignition because I categorize the Group 2 people as the burning one.

The same time the people of the second category will change if they don’t add the flavors of interest in their job.

The CHANGE can’t be bound because that’s the only CONSTANT…..

So dear readers it is fine to be in any of the above categories, but the matter of discussion is that whether YOU want to create history or not…

Think and then categorize yourself….

Arrogance

This word is very common in our life. This word is mostly the sense of curse and abuse for all, but for me every word has its meaning which contains both the positive and negative aspects and the same with this ‘Arrogance’. It means Overconfidence or Egoism or Pride or Superciliousness.

For a matter of discussion I would like to ask that when a person becomes Overconfident or when Pride of his/her own comes in him/her? The answer could be many and it will vary from person to person. Again one query pains my head that why after killing Ravana in Ramayana, Lord Ram sent his younger to him to gain the words of knowledge? Was Ravana not an arrogant person? Ram is God. What was the need of sending Laxman to him?

The answer in my opinion could be many and for the matter of fact we can’t deny that Ravana was an arrogant person but the person of immense knowledge.

Sometimes it happens with us also that we become arrogant but why the person in front never thinks … this is the thing which a person contains in him/her, or is the madness he possess or he thinks that everyone else him is fool and he is the most intellectual one…what is the fault in this… if one possess let him cheer, no matter is the way of arrogance… he is not going to hurt anyone ….if he does so than it is a sin and a crime…

See the photo here, the ladder takes one up through one side but it doesn't have any chance than to jump on the other one...

The very first Inventions were Innovations.

Dear friends,

Here is an opinion by me which separates Invention from Innovation to very much extend.

From the early history of mankind and development there were several inventions and most of those inventions were Innovations except a few. This is a proven fact that the discovery of electric current by Benjamin Franklin, the inventions of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, momentous flight of the Wright brothers, Dr. Jagdish Chandra Basu results on plants or anyone else were innovations because of the fact that in the definition of innovation itself it is said that anything which is entirely new is Innovation. Now the matter of discussion is that whether these things were not new of there type or is the definition of innovation is not correct. It should also be noted that discovery is a different thing than invention and innovation because discovered things are those which are already present.

Here I would like to add one more thing that knowledge management plays a vital role in the process of invention but at the same time this is not a fact for all the inventions. But as far as innovation is considered KM is mostly the constructive source except a few. It is a hot going debate and will continue for some days in this blog…. Keep in touch…

It is the time let us do anything either it is Innovation, Invention or Discovery.
