Respect What You Have
An entrepreneur was once told by his mentor, ” When you start a business, you will have to struggle a lot. The success you finally get will be enjoyed by your children, not you”
Every generation benefits from the struggle of its predecessors However, thanks to the human mindset, we always tend to look for what was built incorrectly, rather than what was built right.
This is where Chanakya comes in:
“In the case of inherited territory, he should cover up the father’s defects and display his virtues. “
Swami Chinmayananda said
every generation has got two responsibilities:
- To correct the mistakes of the past
- To create something for the future
But how do we apply this in our careers and family lives?
Look At The Positive Side
When we inherit something, like a car, we immediately think, ‘Oh what on old car? I wish I could get a new one.’ But train your mind to look at the positive side “So what? It’s better than having no car.”
Similarly, when you get an old computer to use as soon as you join a new office, be thankful that at least there is a computer for you to start working on. These steps will tune your mind to look at the bright side of what our elders provided, without any effort.
Understand What Is Missing
With their limited vision or resources, our elders gave you whatever you now have. Surely they must have wanted to give us something better, but their conditions must have been different. They missed the luxury that our generation can access with ease.
If, by chance, our seniors did a mistake due to short-sightedness, try to understand the reason. Instead of condemning them, ’empathize’. Put yourself in their shoes.
Even in your company, you should study what is missing instead of blaming the management. Try to ‘understand’ the reason behind the present circumstances and then try to improve the situation.
Create Something New
Be the chance you are seeking. If something is not available, create it yourself. Put in some effort and do the needful yourself.
If you find that systems in your firm are not updated, study the technology yourself and apply them. Basically you should convert your tendency to blame others, into a tendency to be thankful.
A young boy once told his father, “Your generation doesn’t understand anything. You did not have mobiles, computers or the Internet.”
The dad replied, “Yes it’s true. So our generation created mobiles and computers for you to use.
Now let’s see what you will create for your children”
