Better Late Than Never

B&M
Business & Management

Hello viewers,

Before I proceed to the intended topics which have become favourite of mine, let me be introduced to you precisely and concisely…..

A belated introduction with a sleepy Author:

It hardly happens ever that a person starts his journey with loud snores followed by deep slumber. Unfortunately, this is what happened in this case, when I started my journey weeks back.

In fact, from today onwards, the articles through me would be motivational efforts due to an inspiration and light from my ideological Guru, Mr.Kamran Azeem who has gifted me not only the idea but also a web-space with a conviction that even a stone needs at least a beam of light to get itself recognized.

I do agree with him, though, his notion gives me a huge responsibility to prove myself, specially, ’WHAT type of stone am I and how much reshaping needs to be done’.

To be frank, I can assure you that I am already a nugget of something who has undergone metamorphosis at several phases of my life, particularly the professional career.

My perennial cravings to learn EVERYTHING (mis-)guided me through several zig-zag curves in academic life:  starting from cozy affair with Geography to hobnob with Economics, and then entering the most notorious area of science (Chemistry) and then exploring Business and Management. In my post-college life, the pattern repeated itself from Information Technology to Personnel Management, followed by Logistics to Administrative Management.

One must be surprised with the idea that when I boarded the plane of my career with so many apparent destinations, and an open ticket in hand, (highly unusual scenario), what makes me land on the grounds of Business Management leaving the other disciplines forever, though I had spent most of  my past with them ?!! The answer is simple : that “I was not the Pilot”.

Anyway, I realized the fact (though very late) that Business and Management have occupied a key place in the hierarchy of each industry and every profession.  Whether one belongs to Chemistry or economics, or even he or she is a politician (God forbid), they have to be a part of the Business or Management somewhere in its hierarchy.

What am I here for ? !!

Most Management Gurus agree that Management skills are usually God-gifted but these qualities can be enhanced (if traces exist) through proper training. I also agree with this mix of hypothesis and observation. But I would like to add into it something that is supported by Einstein’s ‘Theory of Perspiration’:

That is, we must not forget that sometimes, we see people occupying the upper ranks in hierarchy through practicing this theory, which postulates in metaphysics that:

‘Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration’.

(Please be aware that you will never find any theory with this name on Google or Bing etc.)

Again, I repeat, what am I here for ?

My attempt from today onwards is to share with you my experiences and create a network of people who can contribute their knowledge and skills to simplify the intricacies of the two metaphors: Business and Management.

I hope to receive a very noisy ‘outcry’ soon.

A Very Happy New Year
