Before we start venerating entrepreneurship on this forum today, let me present to you the life-sketch of a typical entrepreneur.
When the fellow is in class sixth, he is continuously told by his mom and dad that he ought to do well in his exams. He is bound to be among the top ten percentile in his class. He is also somebody who is pushed to do well in other areas of life.
He does reasonably well in his board exams. He likes the sound of applause that he receives when he stands infront of an audience that is there to felicitate him and of course after that he opts for engineering from a good college.
And after that he moves to US or IIMs and that requires a percentile of ninety nine, and all the time he is being competitive and looking at others.
When he was at class sixth, he was looking at his mom and dad, when he was at class tenth and twelfth, he was looking at the audience and all the certificates that he gathered. When he reaches IIM, he looks for the admission offices and the placement offices.
And he is looking at this whole world of opportunities and offerings that this world is providing him. And deep within he is very insecure that I must be aware of these otherwise my stakes are getting higher and higher with every passing day.
