Why am I an Entrepreneur ?
The idea of writing this post comes from a series of thoughts which took me 10 years back. I remember, when i was in class VI, I participated in a state level essay competition in Nagaland. I remember, I wrote a lot of stuff which won me the third prize. The topic given was “India Of My Dreams”
Today, after 10 years, i started thinking about the same topic again. This time, I am not participating in an essay competition. I was watching a song video on YouTube and the song took me to a different world. I had a lot of thoughts going on in my mind about me and about my country.The first question I asked was “Where do i want my country to be ?” and the second one was “What am i doing for my country ?” and many questions and their precise answers. When the song and the video ended, all i was left was with tears and deep thoughts.
I was at a coaching center in Kota (the famous Bansal Classes) preparing for IIT-JEE and i was doing well preparing for the exams. I jumped 15 batches in one exam. And i was confident that i would have cleared IIT or some other good exam and got into a top level engineering college. But it never happened. I dropped out much before the final JEE happened. And, I left studies. My mom wanted to continue my education and we were financially stable after my dad passed away and we could have afforded my higher education very well. But, I choose to be an entrepreneur. My mom later supported me in continuing with entrepreneurship. She believed in me always.
My only motivation behind being an entrepreneur was that I am a true patriot at heart. This comes from the fact that everything related to the well being and progress of my country is emotionally connected to me. Remember the sentence from the above song – “Khushboo Banke Mehka Karenge Hum Lelahti Har Faslo Mein … Saas Ban Ke Hum Gun Gunayenge Aane Wali Har Naslo Mein Hum”
“I am an entrepreneur because i want to create and share more wealth and prosperity in my country. To achieve this, i will be the point which will be responsible for sourcing and raising capital and empowering thousands of young people so that they can come out and show their talent.”
That is the what we call a vision statement. I learnt it today. The above is the visions statement of me – Aditya Singh
All the very best. Particularly like your vision statement.
