Robbed of early team work
The reason why many people are greedy is because they grew up greedy. Did you have such a friend who was a specialist in covering his answer sheet so that you don't share in the marks awarded as good grades? Who do we blame here? You for not reading, him or those who helped sponsor such mentality?
Indeed we have robbed, this is the fate we had to inherit from the societal laws. I am talking of the ‘one man squad’ a.k.a school standalone mentality. The best are known by how they can by themselves solve a problem. Grades are given in the process and the rest are just dumbs. Did you feel bad when you were classified into the dumb class?
‘Two good heads are better than one and if two lie together, they warm each other’---King Solomon. Of course this man was accredited to be a wise man. So how come such a principle is not instilled in a child right from infancy? The world system has always chosen to run the opposite lane of facts. This is why I on the other hand always choose to run the opposite way of doing this system.

There are things that mattered then that wouldn't matter now. Ok, I am not saying I was in the dumb category; areas I was in the middle range and it saved me some humiliation. Real life is beyond school grades, I am not saying one should become careless, no. It is one such conversation I had with a friend this evening; ‘business studies is not business’. Of course the answer here is very clear; the earlier is just a certificate clearance while the latter talks of the field work.
How many people who graduate as accountants and from the department of business administration run and own a business? How many people who studied economics and statistics understand and apply the needed basic principles of investing?
You see what I mean here? There are a lot of loopholes in-between and one of the underlying reasons is because individualism prevailed.
parents are very ok when their children are individually smart. Their returns on investment are already showing they assume. As a parent, please spend your time teaching your children how to work with people.
I mean, put the team work mentality into them. Knowing how to work with people is one of the biggest skills and talents one can have. The hedge and advantage are so numerous.

This is why we are running a rigid world system. Disunity and misunderstanding among well learned individuals and you asked yourself, of what need has it been for them to travel this far in education?. This was my weekly tips to our customers; ‘no matter how good you are, you will need people. Learn to work with and also carry them along’.
In my school days, team work was a once in a while thing. It has really affected the smart ones who made up the class. As for me, well, I had an early escape route although I never even understood what was going on. S
tarting school at the same time with my brother was a privilege. We always had to put out heads together to solve a problem. Not the school ways but well we defied it even during assignments, test and examinations. I hope you don't leak it.
The Ripple effect showed, we were always able to scale through and when we had to come into the field (reality of life) it was much easier. When many ask how we were able to open, run and stay in business till date, it has been a credit early team work mentality.
Trust me, we face so many heat and hits but having each other's back was a big advantage. We never studied business administration or economics but we had the hedge of team work.
To conclude, let me add, there are lots of societal gaps that need to be closed and one of those is an early team work mentality. Are you seeing it the way or do you have your much better views?
