WHY TO DO MBA

I have been interacting to many students especially MBAs and love to ask them as to why they are doing  MBA.The response has been very un natural.Let me share:[Please note this summary is of a total size of 1000 MBA students.

1.Because parents wanted                          :10%
2.Want to know about management            :40%
3.Help in Business                                      :30%
4.Start a Business                                       :10%
5 Good career path                                    : 05%
6 Grooming for Marketing                          : 05%

This itself give reply as to why MBA courses are becoming in effective.My personal view is students are unclear about the goal of life and also the reason behind their parents sending for MBA course.

THE MAIN REASON BEHIND GOING FOR MBA IS GOOD SALARY.

To talk of knowledge gaining there are many fields where one should go but people do not go because at the end of the exercise you might gain the knowledge but it could not be converted into money.Hence this reason is totally unnatural.Good career path should be an ideal reason but I find very few are really in position to convert it into a benefit.

An engineer or a B.Sc students go for it for enhancing their market value in the job.
B.Com /BBA should go for a minimal survival in the job market.

The moment one is clear that MBA is for getting a better salary than automatically on takes extra initiative  in

1.Learning extra language
2.Developing fluency in English
3.Enhancing reading English Newspaper and self help books [over and above text books]
4.Enhancing soft skill like presentation skills,etiquette .
5.Develop a tailor made resume.

The students are depended on the institute for placement.I strongly feel that if students have worked on above line and learnt an art of writing resume and facing an interview ,I do not think anybody can stop him from getting a good salary.Vice verse is true.Just doing MBA o not guarantee an assured placement.

SPIRITUALITY AND SUCCESS

India is and was far ahead in spirituality.It is spirituality that has maintained lower rate of divorces,suicide etc.Spirituality gives tremendous power of withstanding pressures and facing odds.It is this reason that I propagate spirituality among budding professionals and even students.Frustration is going to be part of life and with the "Kalyug" at its peak none but "Self" has to help overcome the frustration.Here comes the spirituality to your rescue.Knowing "Self" is important.You can know your "Self" through Dhyan.

Most of us have forgotten the Value of "Dyan" which is a part of spirituality and we have become the victim of "Rituality".Of course "Rituals do help but we have to take that as an aid.It was there till the Britishers came here and they taught us 'SPI' which means SELF PRAISE represented by " I " and we soon deleted "spi" from spirituality and became victim of rituality. This started making human being different.A Hindu different from Muslim .Christian different from Sikh and so on so forth.With this Britisher could reign here 100 years.In the process we lost spirituality.

Today still it is not late when Americans are adopting our spirituality and making us more ritualistic and having economic reign on us.But the  power of spirituality is endless.Finally it will win
