For the ones who are in their 20s. My key takeaways from @warikoo 's session at the E-Summit 21 by @ECell_IITR, moderated by our very own @nipunnyy : (A đź§µ)
1. Two habits which you would like people in their 20s to inculcate:
> Read every single day
> Reach out to people you don’t know personally (having both is a deadly combo!)
2. Mistakes you made in college:
> Did not listen to my own self while I was in college and still continued what I was doing. Went all the way to do PhD in the U.S.
Realised I was not happy.
>Had a moralistic view of the world. (Who you should hang out with and who you should not. Eg- people who drink, smoke etc, are bad But, that is not it. So, don’t judge people on that basis.)
3. Things this generation is not being able to see now
(because of which they are unhappy):
> Instant gratification- way of thinking. Lack of realisation of the fact that good things do not come easy and fast.
4. What are the right reasons to do Entrepreneurship:
The market doesn’t care about where you’ve been, what you’ve done.
All that it cares about is whether you are creating products which the people will love. Drop your ego/irrational optimism and see what the world is like. The right reasons are:
>Intense commitment to problem solving. Should be naturally embedded in your personality.
