Success is all about human relations
The subsequent points could be explained under this topic:
The most important skill for success in to have people on your side. 1 can get a lot of work done by superiority and hierarchy but 1 cannot be a leader of men unless 1 maintains excellent human relations.Its importance not only in professional life but personal life too.Knowledge and expertise does 1 no good if 1 cannot maintain proper human relations...etc.....
Borderless worlds-Dream or reality?
The subsequent points could be explained under this topic:
Globalisation of business.Opening up of the different economies. Cross cultural exchanges.More and more people getting an opportunity to work in various lands among various peoples and absorbing a bit of their values and culture.This leads to greater tolerance and understanding of others' issues.The other side-people despite all this have nationalistic and regionalist chauvinism . A world divided into first, 2nd and 3rd worlds.People still talk of "their" economy and not world economy. Europe has shown a step in this direction with EU but its feasibility remains to be seen.So while people clamour for globalisation, they still think only in terms of their national interests...etc...
Quality is a myth in India.
The subsequent points could be explained under this topic:
The Indian products and manufacturing techniques. Why are we unable to sustain against global competition.Our mindset towards quality. Indian attitude of "chalta hai" which leads to an undemanding customer which in turn lets people get away with substandard products and services. Today competition is forcing our industry to adhere to global standards so we are getting there in terms of quality.Examples of our software industry which is recognised for its ability to meet global standards etc. Since the topic is general, we can extrapolate it to our quality of life-the air , the water , the facilities we have, the infrastructure we have, the services we get and put up with ....etc......
Education and success-Is there a correlation?
The subsequent points could be explained under this topic:
This is a topic which provides ample scope for dialectics. 1 can argue for and against it.One of the best examples is Bill Gates who went on to become the richest man in the world despite dropping out of hid education. Closer home we have the example of Dhirubhai Ambani. What a person learns and what he really wants to do has no correlation many a times. A person succeeds only if he likes what he does.The argument for education will be that , in practice, it is your marks and qualifications that opens doors for you.While 1 can become successful without education, education brings about a richness in one's life. 1 is able to appreciate many facets of life due to the extended knowledge that education provides. It opens a new window and provides a various perspective towards things, ability to distinguish ranging from ethical and unethical, moral and amoral ....etc.......
