Well Well Well..... guess what!! I am back to business and some writing. Off late, I have developed a new skill within me "Lazyness". And to my amazement, it am getting quite "Pro" in it.
Now, coming to the main topic of this post "Beginning of a Journey or the end of one ?" . Before you start making any wild guesses, I am not travelling anywhere in near future nor I have returned from a pleasure trip, but rather, this is one question which I suppose every active/Ambitious individual thinks of before embarking on to the journey of entrepreneurship.
Current generation is being brought up with lots of expectations these days, that son/daughter of mine will be a champion in every domain of life, will secure the numero uno position in studies, sports and what not. After school , he'll go to the best of the colleges and then will earn loads of money and will make his/her parent proud. I am not against these expectations, in fact every parent should as its their right to think of best for their children, but at times these expectations becomes the reason for narrow mindedness of a developing brain.
I started my career with a decent job, been to several countries as well (on office's expense, obviously), and I think that I have not done bad with my professional career start. Parents are happy that son is an obedient as I getting my account credited regularly with a decent amount at the end of every month. But now, I am at crossroads since I want to plunge into entrepreneurship and I am sure that my parents and other related personnel wont be happy with this decision of mine, as they believe that getting salary every month is a safe way to live a peaceful life.
I gave a thought to their point of view as well coz I believe that they are far more experienced than I am. So, with a pessimist view I looked into the proposition of turning into an entrepreneur and came up with following points :
1) Pros :

I gave a thought to their point of view as well coz I believe that they are far more experienced than I am. So, with a pessimist view I looked into the proposition of turning into an entrepreneur and came up with following points :
1) Pros :
- Self Employed.(Kind of self satisfaction/prestige, whatever way you take it),
- Better social life,
- Better learning prospects,
- Possibility of employment generation at later stage,
- And lastly, more moolah than being in a job, (at the end)
2) Cons:
- Where to start from
- Do I have self discipline to carry such a big responsibility
- How long can I survive, with gestation period of around 3-4 years
- Lack of regular income to meet the expenditures !
- Social Stigma (Ending up like a fool, if you don't succeed !)
After jotting these above SWOT Analysis, I have decided to find out my true self and answer these "Cons" issue. Being true to oneself is one of the most difficult task in this world and I think that GOD has provided me a chance to handle this. I'll find out the true answer to the above questions, as to where i stand and where I will be in coming years before taking a blind plunge in this unknown territory.
I need to answer myself this very important question "Beginning of a Journey or the end of one ?" as one has rightly said that "With great powers comes great responsibility"
