Entrepreneurship

What Is an Entrepreneur?

An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. The process of setting up a business is known as entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services, and business/or procedures.

Entrepreneurs play a key role in any economy, using the skills and initiative necessary to anticipate needs and bringing good new ideas to market. Entrepreneurship that proves to be successful in taking on the risks of creating a startup is rewarded with profits, fame, and continued growth opportunities. Entrepreneurship that fails results in losses and less prevalence in the markets for those involved.

How Entrepreneurship Works

Entrepreneurship is one of the resources economists categorize as integral to production, the other three being land/natural resources, labor, and capital. An entrepreneur combines the first three of these to manufacture goods or provide services. They typically create a business plan, hire labor, acquire resources and financing, and provide leadership and management for the business.

Entrepreneurs commonly face many obstacles when building their companies. The three that many of them cite as the most challenging are as follows:

Overcoming bureaucracy

Hiring talent

Obtaining financing

Entrepreneurship is the process by which individuals or a group of individuals (entrepreneurs) exploit a commercial opportunity, either by bringing a new product or process to the market, or by substantially improving an existing good, service, or method of production. This process is generally organized through a new organization (a start-up company), but may also occur in an established small business that undergoes a significant change in product or strategy (see below on growth).

In sum, entrepreneurship is the process of starting and developing a company, with the aim of delivering something new or improved to the market, or by organizing the means of production in a superior way.  This process is principally organized through the formation of a start-up company, is managed by entrepreneurs, often under considerable personal and financial risk, and is temporary in duration, as a phase in a business’s lifecycle.  A key distinction between start-ups and other small or young businesses is an aspiration (realized or not) to substantially grow.  As companies mature out of the start-up phase, they evolve into sustainable businesses, are acquired or sold to public investors, or decay and may eventually shut down, as new companies start-up and take their place.

” In Response to Executive Order 9066″ : Analysis

Dwight Okita’s poem “In Response to Executive Order 9066” addresses issues such as identity, and discrimination as a result of cultural hybridity. The narrator of the poem is a fourteen year old Japanese girl who writes a letter to the government in response to Executive Order 9066. As the title of the poem implies the historical context of the poem is the time when president Franklin D Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066. After two months of the Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbour Roosevelt signed the order, which orders the removal of over 12000 people of Japanese descent from the West Coast. This resulted in their loss of home, job and all other possessions including human rights.

Okita uses the form letter to represent the innocence as well as the horrors in the mind of the young people who were forced to leave to the camps. The narrator presents the the people in her life, from father to best friend in the letter. The relevance of racial identity among children is presented by the best friend. Through the first person narrative, poet presents the contrast between two cultures, one she came from and the other she grew up.

tje narrator is a normal, naive American girl even though she is of Japanese origin. She says to the government that it is obvious that I will be coming to the camp and I have packed. Her innocence is visible when she mentions about the tomato seeds. Her father warns her that they don’t grow there. The cultural dilemma faced by the girl can be find when she mentions about her inability to use chopsticks and her love for hotdogs.

The following lines after this shows the horrors of migration, war and racial identity among children. Denise and the narrator were best friends. But after being aware that narrator is of Japanese origin her friend has started to discriminate her. She said “you are going to start a war”. Denise also told her to keep their mouth shut, and not to give secrets to the enemies. Thus these lines suggest that even innocent people were considered as enemies or “other” as a result of war. Even being a young naive girl, the narrator is discriminated.But she looks upon this discrimination with hope and love and gives Denise tomato seeds and tells her that “she would miss her”.

Through this poem Okita presents themes like discrimination, innocence and ignorance. Both the characters are ignorant. The narrator is ignorant about her being discriminated, and it’s reason, about her future in the camps. The friend is ignorant about war and considers and stereotypes every Japanese as enemies. This shows her ignorance. Innocence is the primary theme of the poem through which the narrator is unfolding her feelings and hope. Poet shows how war and relocation affect the common people and children who are not even part of that.

POVERTY

“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice”

-Nelson Mandela

Poverty is articulated hardship in prosperity, and contains many aspects. It incorporates low salaries and the failure to acquire basic goods and products fundamental for living with nobility. Poverty likewise incorporates low degrees of wellbeing and training, helpless access to clean water and disinfection, deficient actual security, absence of voice, and inadequate limit and chance to better one’s life.

Issues like hunger, disease, and helpless sterilization are major causes and end results of poverty. In other words, that not having food implies being poor, yet being poor additionally implies being not able to manage the cost of food or clean water. The impacts of poverty are frequently interrelated with the goal that one issue rarely happens alone. Terrible sanitation makes one helpless to illnesses, and yearning and absence of clean water makes one considerably more defenseless against sicknesses. Impoverished nations and networks frequently experience the ill effects of separation and end up trapped in a pattern of poverty.

POVERTY AND SOCIAL LIFE

The endless loop of poverty implies that deep rooted obstructions and inconveniences are passed from one age onto the next. Joblessness and low wages establish a climate where youngsters can’t attend the class. Youngsters should regularly work to provide a revenue for their family. With respect to youngsters who can go to school, many neglect to perceive how difficult work can further develop their lives as they see their parents battle at each day undertakings. Other plagues accompanying poverty include:

  • Devastating mishaps because of risky workplaces consider the new structure breakdown in Bangladesh.
  • Poor housing- an enduring reason for illnesses.
  • Water and food related sicknesses that happen just on the grounds because poor can’t bear “safe” food sources.

At last, poverty is a significant reason for social pressures and takes steps to separate a country due to income disparity. This happens when the wealth of a nation is ineffectively circulated among its residents and when a little minority has a greater part of the cash. Wealthy or developed countries maintain stability because of the presence of a middle class. Be that as it may, even Western nations are continuously losing their working class. Therefore, there has been an expanded number of riots and conflicts. For society, poverty is an exceptionally dangerous variable that can undermine a whole country. The Arab Spring is an extraordinary illustration of how revolts can begin due to not many open positions and high poverty levels.

POVERTY AFFECTING CHIDREN

SELF CARE

“It could be anything that floats your boat — anything that puts a smile on your face,” Dr. Gill Lopez says. “Anything that makes you feel cared for, even if it’s you caring for yourself.”

The World Health Organization defines self-care as: “the ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider. “As per this definition, taking care of oneself incorporates everything connected with remaining physically healthy – including cleanliness, nourishment, and looking for clinical consideration when required. It’s all the methods an individual can require to oversee stressors in their day-to-day existence and deal with their own wellbeing and prosperity.

Taking care of oneself requires checking in with yourself and asking yourself how you’re doing and what your body’s requesting. Certain individuals use it to manage troublesome reports, others just to keep up with their satisfaction every day. Taking care of oneself doesn’t mean exactly the same thing for everybody. Various individuals will embrace distinctive taking care of oneself practices, and even your own definition may change over the long run. “What is self-care for one person will likely differ from someone else, and what’s self-care for you one day might not feel like self-care another day,” Dr. Amsellem says.

 Taking part in taking care of oneself routinely could assist you with doing your absolute best. “At the point when we are consistently dealing with ourselves, we are better ready to respond to the things that continue in our lives,” It’s something we do to keep up with positive well-being.

At a point when taking care of oneself is routinely rehearsed, the advantages are expansive and have even been connected to positive wellbeing results like decreased pressure, improved immune system, expanded productivity, and higher confidence.

TYPES OF SELF-CARE

Getting Outside: According to a recent report distributed in Lancet Planet Health, investing energy in green space is related with a lower death rate.

An Analysis of Philip Larkin’s poem “Church Going”

Philip Larkin is a British poet of twentieth century. His poem “Church Going” deals with the issues regarding the declining religious beliefs and spirituality of the twentieth century. The title of the poem carries multiple connotations. In a primary analysis the title may refer to going to the church for participating in the sermons or for praying. Another meaning is just visiting the church for the sake of visiting. And in a deeper analysis it can be said that the title may refer to going away from the church which means an escape from religion and spirituality.

The poem is filled with various rhetorical questions through which poet brings a sense of sarcasm. Poet is at the church in the beginning. As he enters he thuds close the door. But he refuses to enter first, because he doesn’t want to disturb the practices. Then there are several instances in the poem which reflects the lack of faith in the poetic persona’s mind.

He has seen many pillars, bible, altar and he doesn’t feel any respect towards them. He reads from the Bible in a sarcastic way and exits. He feels a kind of uncle or irreverence towards the church and religion. The poetic persona wonders that what will happen to the church if the people completely stop the visit. He says that some will be tourist attractions with their documents and ceremonial plate wares. Others will decay and take over by sheeps and cows. Or some women with superstitious beliefs would visit.

The narrator also wonders who will be the last person to visit the church as a church. One may be a history buff, or an antique lover. Someone who loves the Christmas will also be a visiter. But the last person may be a poet like the narrator, bored and ignorant about religion. Even though the poetic persona is ignorant and having irreverence, says that the church held everything together from the shattered form. It is the place of marriage, birth and death and gives meaning to all human action. The church, which is a serious and meaningful place in a meaningful ground combine all human instinct and humans seek wisdom from here. Through the poem Philip Larkin presents a contrast between shattering beliefs and the spirituality of the twentieth century and the role of church and religion in giving meanings to human life.

For streamlining internal communication, Workplace communication is the most vital element. It helps the management and the team to be on the same page Having good communication means having an understanding of a shared meaning.

Best Ways To Communicate at workplace:

  1. Meetings: Listening to others is the most important communication skill to possess. Meetings help in growing patience, if you feel you are talking over others then it’ll help you consider to listen to others because a meeting is all about sharing and listening to various ideas.When employees feel like they are being listened to the feel more encouraged and creates a more collaborative culture.
  2. Brevity for Effective Communication: When speaking or addressing a lot of people in a workplace meeting always remember to keep it brief and to the point as you can’t be the only one speaking. Also addressing long paragraphs to a group of people makes it boring and reduces others concentration towards the main point.

Every business or organisation needs some specific tools for its effective performance.

Here are some of them:

  • Video conferencing: The workplace environment has become so flexible with work from home policy but that doesn’t mean that the employees can miss out on team meetings.

Therefore, it’s easier for every organisation to function efficiently with the right flow of communication through all the level of the organisation.

Aadhar and Privacy

In the Indian Constitution, Article 21 preserves an individual’s right to privacy along with the human life’s dignity. The right to dignity is considered as a significant part of an individual’s right to life.

” In my considered opinion, right to privacy of any individual is essentially a natural right, which inheres in every human being by birth. Such right remains with the human beings till he/she breathes last. It is indeed inseparable and inalienable from human being. In other words, it is born with the human being and extinguish with the human being.”

– Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre

The most common question that we hear in every day is ‘May I see your ID?’, many of our regular activities depend upon the IDs like while cash withdrawal from an ATM, joining the line of fast track at the airport, at the entry of workplace etc. If the wrong ID is shown then in many places one is denied secure access to website, attention of emergency medication and many more facilities. In Hindi, the word ‘Aadhar’ refers to ‘the foundation base’. An Aadhar is basically a random number of unique identification containing 12 digits issued in India to all its citizens irrespective of the gender and age. The agency that issues and manages the Aadhar Card is Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). In order to obtain Aadhar number, an individual who is an Indian resident requires enrollment. Primarily, Aadhar was initiated for the direct subsidies transfer into the bank account of citizens. However, the scope of Aadhar has been widened today. A case of privacy infringement was filed, the reason being that in order to acquire the Aadhar cards, the citizens were asked for their Biometrics by the Indian government. It was made compulsory for all the Indian citizens to have Aadhar card under the Aadhar scheme for the smooth functioning of the operations such as tax payment, bank accounts opening etc. A number of security benefits are provided to the weaker sections by the government, thus to avail such benefits it is necessary for all the citizens to be Aadhar card holders. However, the enrollment is not mandatory and hence it does not violate the any privacy rights as the biometrics are also provided voluntarily by the citizens. Certain sections of the society are unduly influenced secretly or directly by the government, thus the Act of Aadhar is a form of Doctrine of Colourable Legislation. In the case of Justice K.S.Puttaswamy vs. Union of India and ors 26, a petition was filed by the retired justice in which he challenged the Aadhar Scheme’s constitutional validity asserting that as the Aadhar is made compulsory, there is instance of violation of right to privacy of citizen. As an outcome, the individuals who are unwilling to register are not left with any option. Besides, in India there is lack of laws related to data protection which further increases the chances of leak of personal information of data if not handled with care. It was held that Privacy is a constitutionally protected right which not only emerges from the guarantee of life and personal liberty in Art. 21 of the Constitution, but also arises in varying contexts from the other facets of freedom and dignity recognized and guaranteed by the Fundamental Rights contained in Part III of the Indian Constitution.

Right to Privacy is a Fundamental Right. The right protects an individual’s internal sphere by the State as well as the Non- State’s interference and autonomous choices in life are allowed by the individual. The Right to Life and Personal Liberty derives the Right to Privacy. An individual can enter a citizen’s house without knocking at its door, this is easily made possible by technology. The same may be possible in case of state or non states. The privacy of the home must preserve all the essential aspects of dignity such as marriage, family, sexual orientation. The Article 21 of the Indian Constitution extends to the right to privacy and the Right to live with dignity.

This is very emotional and sensitive story which portrayed a father’s deep love for his daughter. This story is adapted many times as a Bengali and Hindi movie in 1957 and 1961 respectively and also as a part of television series named “Stories by Rabindranath Tagore”.

SUMMARY

The story opens with the narrator describing his five-year-old daughter Mini, who learned how to talk within a year of being born and practically hadn’t stopped talking since. Her mother often tells her to be quiet, but her father prefers to let her talk, so she talks to him often.

One morning, Mini chats with her father while he’s working on an adventure novel. She looks out the window and spots a man and starts calling him “Kabuliwala, Kabuliwala!” The man she’s shouting about is an Afghan named Rahamat in baggy clothes, walking along selling grapes and nuts. However, when he comes over, Mini runs into another room, convinced that his large bags are full of children, not goods.

A few days later, our narrator finds Kabuliwala sitting next to Mini with a pile of raisins and nuts in her lap, paying close attention as she talks and talks. He has given her some grapes and pistachios, so the narrator gives the Kabuliwala half a rupee and tells him not to give her any more treats.

Later, Mini’s mother finds her with the half-rupee and asks where she got it, and is displeased to hear she took money from the man.

Mini and the Kabuliwala develop a close relationship, spending time together every day joking around and talking. The narrator enjoys talking to Kabuliwala too, asking him about his home country of Afghanistan, and all about his travels. But Mini’s mother is alarmed by her daughter’s closeness with the man, worrying that he might try to abduct Mini. The narrator does not agree that there is any danger.

Every year in the middle of the month of Magh, the Kabuliwala returns home. Before making the trip, he goes around collecting money he is owed. But this year, the Kabuliwala gets into a fight with a man who owes him money and staggers him. As a result of this, he spends the next many years in prison, during which Mini grows up and starts enjoying the company of girls her age. The narrator more or less forgets about the Kabuliwala.

A few years later, the narrator and his wife are preparing for Mini’s wedding day. But on the day of Mini’s wedding, the Kabuliwala appears at the narrator’s house. Without a bag or his long hair, he is barely recognizable to the narrator, but he eventually welcomes him in. The narrator is uneasy, thinking about how the Kabuliwala is the only would-be murderer he’s ever known, and tells the visitor to leave. He complies.

But shortly after, the Kabuliwala returns, bringing a gift of grapes and pistachios for Mini. The narrator doesn’t tell him that it’s her wedding today, but simply repeats that there’s an engagement at their house and he must go. But Kabuliwala pulls “a crumpled piece of paper” out of the breast pocket of his shirt and shows the narrator the handprint of his daughter, Parvati, that he carries with him while he travels for work. He explains that he has a daughter back home in Afghanistan, and that Mini helps him deal with the heartache of being so far from her. The narrator is touched and gets Mini.

Mini and the Kabuliwala have an awkward exchange during which the Kabuliwala suddenly realizes that his daughter, like Mini, will have grown up and be different from the little girl he once knew. As Kabuliwala thinks about Afghanistan and his daughter, the narrator pulls out some money and asks Kabuliwala to use it so that he can return home  to Afghanistan to see his daughter. He tells Kabuliwala that, “by your blessed reunion, Mini will be blessed.” Giving Kabuliwala the money means that Mini’s wedding party is not as grand as it might have been, but the narrator is happy with it, believing that “the ceremony was lit by a kinder, more gracious light.”

Analysis

There are two central themes in this story, and Tagore masterfully plays them against each other to build tension in the narrative. The first key theme is otherness, with Kabuliwala standing as a clear outsider who speaks broken Bengali and dresses in a way that situates him outside of typical Bengali society. The narrator is fascinated by him in part because of the fact that he’s seen parts of the world that are so different from Calcutta, while the narrator’s wife distrusts him precisely because he is a foreigner, and perhaps one who will kidnap her child, which she thinks Afghanis are wont to do.

The other theme is doubling, as the narrator and the Kabuliwala are construed as mirror characters of one another. They are both shown as storytellers, and each is fascinated enough by Mini to listen to her talk for hours. But most importantly, Tagore reminds us that they’re both fathers, and the narrator seeing the Kabuliwala as a man who is heartsick over a daughter that he has not seen in years helps the narrator see the man as a human being, not as some would-be murderer.

The genius of the story is the fact that the climax seems to come when Kabuliwala stabs the debtor, which would confirm the narrator’s wife’s worst fears that this outsider is dangerous. During what seems like the denouement of the story, the Kabuliwala returns and the narrator, who has clearly spent the intervening years considering the man a would-be murderer, tries to brush this outsider off.

But then the real climax comes. The Kabuliwala pulls out the piece of paper with his daughter’s handprint inscribed on it. This image draws a link between the narrator and Kabuliwala as men with daughters they love dearly. With the move to bond the narrator and the Kabuliwala, Tagore crafts a tale about finding common humanity despite all of the differences that two men may have.

It’s worth noting here that one of the things that makes Tagore such an innovator given the context he was writing in was his unconventional narrative structure. Indeed, this story doesn’t play out over some sort of conflict and resolution like a typical narrative (or the adventure stories that the narrator writes) might. Instead, Tagore develops a set of relationships and shows us how those relationships play out when tempered by the sands of time.

“DOING YOUR BEST” IS BETTER THAN “BEING THE BEST “

You may already have embraced your own ambitious streak. No matter what you’re trying to accomplish, with thousands of other people trying to do the same thing, it surely helps to be driven.  After all, most of the greatest entrepreneurs, politicians, scientists, and artists were perpetually striving to beat their personal best or challenge the status quo.  Yet being driven to succeed should not be confused with the kind of competitive ambition that can consume you.  So, do you need to be competitive with others, and what is the essential difference between “being the best” and “doing your best”?

When I’m simply doing my best, I feel excited rather than anxious.   There is no tension in my body and I feel present and at ease. My heartbeat and breathing are normal, because I’m not in a race

If you try to be the best you, the self-improvement and confidence departments are going to get a serious boost. After all, if you are trying to be the best you, you are improving in some fashion, and this can really build one’s confidence.You improve because you are learning new things, such as traits or knowledge in general. Along the way, your abilities get better and more diverse, and this is a real confidence booster.

You Will Never Think “What If”

When you are trying to be the best you, you are typically chasing your goals and dreams in the process. As a result, you are doing what you want to do. Therefore, you will never think “what if” because you are actually in the process of being a doer.

One of the most important things in life is that you simply show up — that is half the battle. If you want to take things to the next level, then you have to try your best and learn from your experiences, whether if they lead to failure or glory.

Trying to be the best you is going to take time, hard work and commitment, but it is so worth it once you reach the end of your journey.

🔘Sports Can Boost Learning Effectiveness 🔘

Playing sports is not only a fun way for students to stay active, but can also be helpful for academic growth! The benefits of sports for students include improving their self-esteem, building interpersonal social skills and more.What are the benefits of sports for students?

1. Health benefits

This is probably the most obvious one, but for a good reason! Any physical activity that encourages exercise is worth participating in. As the old saying goes, “body and mind” are connected! Students that get proper exercise through sports are more likely to feel energized throughout the day, hold a positive attitude, and maintain a proper sleeping schedule – which in turn helps with staying focused during the school day.

2. Social skills

Sports require communication between players. Even one-on-one sports (like tennis, for instance) still require communication between two opponents during a match while encouraging a healthy sense of competition. The social benefits of sports for students help them to improve their social skills while also meeting other individuals that share the same interests. These social skills will translate to the classroom, encouraging your child to be more engaging and confident at school.

. 3 Teamwork

Team sports require players to plan and coordinate together while they work towards a shared task (like scoring a goal). These same skills – assigning duties, strategizing approaches – are extremely helpful in managing group projects at school. Group projects and presentations are a part of the academic sphere even through the college level, so learning how to work well with others is hugely beneficial for a student’s academic experience (and beyond).

4. Self-esteem

Playing sports is fun. And it’s not just about winning or losing – simply participating in sports encourages a mindset towards practice, growth, and improvement. These are the same principles we encourage students to hold academically. Getting better at something feels good, and sports are an excellent way to experience tangible improvement. Whether it’s shooting hoops just for fun or joining a team league, sports can be an extremely positive influence on a student’s self esteem. This same confidence boost will translate into all areas of their lives, including academic performance

ResilienceRemember the old saying, “Learn to be a good sport?” Quite literally, in fact, sports teaches us that we don’t always get the outcome we want. Olympic athletes train for years only to fall short of the gold medal – but rather than discourage their efforts, it motivates them to pick themselves up again and train harder. Team sports are the same – emotions can run high, and losing a big game can be disappointing. However, these experiences teach students to have good sportsmanship. Resilience is just as important in academics – when students are disappointed with a score or exam result, having good resilience helps them to “bounce back” and try again with a new approach. Sports are a great way of instilling these values at a young age.

The benefits of sports for students reach far beyond the physical. From improving social skills to teaching self-esteem and personal resilience, playing sports can instill lifelong values to students that reach far past the classroom.
