On 1st July 2018, I wrote 'Standing on Your Own Feet'. That consisted of a few statements of praise for an enterprising young person who personified persistence, perseverance and progress. Yesterday, on the same venue (Everest Toastmasters), we had more stories of same kind. In particular, there was an enthusiastic, enterprising and energetic young person who started with very little. A person who had to work either side of college to pay for his education and subsistence in Kathmandu. A person who chose the 'road less traveled', the road of personal enterprise while being offered lucrative positions to work for 'others'. A person who could be a great motivator for the amazing idea of self-employment, entrepreneurship and job creation rather than seeking a job for oneself.
In a TED-like talk about his personal struggles, persistence and propensity towards taking risks, the speaker provided an amazing insight into the sweetness of success that comes at a cost. The harder one works for a goal, the more fulfilling its achievement becomes. This is the mindset every young person should adopt. That is, rather to be a job-creator than a job seeker. Though a lucrative job may give stability and freedom, it is no match for the glorious sense of accomplishment one gets at being able to create jobs. I would be the most unsuitable person to talk about job creation as I am myself a job holder. However, having been with so many enterprising people who have been amazing job creators and contributors, I also know a little about it. If by some means I were able to go back 25 years, I definitely would start my own enterprise, however small, than go looking for jobs.
Now that the country is getting more stable, it is the best time for young enthusiasts to embark on this journey of entrepreneurship. This is the best way they can have a good and fulfilling life while contributing towards overall economic betterment of society. Just go for it while you have time.
