good morning
good afternoon ladies and gentlemen
I think the speaker before me has made a
tough job it's like coming to bat after
we're not going very very difficult let
me try well normalizes what kind of
touch with me you are couple of months
ago they said I need to speak said fine
but then they'd give the option I
normally go and speak to colleges
organizations institutions framework
talk about industry I talk about trend
skill so on so forth but the function
here was we have a team you need to
speak to the team that was a tough job
what's team misfits
the geniuses fun I mean I I didn't even
understand and I thought all the three
teams I said the third one completely
out of box for me I did some
soul-searching I said genius that's not
my cup of tea
I'm neither one I'm worried I'm going to
copy data can I comment on one let me
keep off this old stuff then I have only
two choices left say thought about it
and it said probably missed it I did
identify with I also caught one we have
many people that many people - can
identify that with this particular world
because more situations in life actually
tell us that we are not completely fit
we are
Whitefield we not you know the exact
treatment there in that situation that
circumstance but still we need to me do
we need to be successful and hence I
thought so I hear
I said misfit is not all that bad
in most situations a misfit is not all
that bad
because one leads continuously adapt one
sub to be in these situations and then
keep reinventing oneself as we go along
but now let's step I can see why we are
talking about this we might be talking
about being failed
do not fail is it a bad thing a good
thing what do we need to do all this
it's a lot of what because we all want
to be successful everybody wants to be
successful nobody wants to call himself
a failure everybody wants to say I have
done something I'm really good and if we
have not been successful we will
definitely do nothing we will find the
reason who has been responsible for my
freedom right nobody wants to say I've
been responsible for my failure
everybody will say I will be responsible
for my success now look at these things
I think it's important to understand
that what is success all about it how we
define success who define success these
success be individually each success
being good in whatever you do alone
becoming rich becoming famous or he
sucks it's all about not just being
successful oneself but having everybody
around you on the same plane how can you
contribute in your success to the larger
ecosystem the larger world that is very
very important I mean if what has to do
this we pachyderm you're quite a figment
I think one needs to always reinvent
reach change continuously adapt to
changing situations
one and therefore more examples in
history and people talk about energy
more examples in history science
technology and come come to know the
newer side upwards to on how people have
metamorphosed engines as we go along but
before that what are those three key
things that have make people successful
in respect of your fitment at life
the first is put across three points to
say what are those three important
things first very very important be
ready for the unknown be ready for
something that you don't know what is
going to hit you and in today's world
which is a woke up world I'm sure many
of you what about this this whole world
is covered it's on a time is uncertain
it's complex it's ambiguous - so we
don't know what for here's all the time
so what needs to be ready for that
the second is be ready to take on the
Box decisions or the box thinking
everything is not fixed to a pre-planned
situation things changing learn to adapt
to it what is the second most important
thing that one makes one successful have
attention to be deal maybe most people
fail in most situations not because they
are unfit in that situation not because
they were not made good for the
situation
but because they have not caught you
could immediately
it's extremely important to be able to
attention to detail get to the depth of
the matter and understand better makes
very important to listen better lot of
people learn haven't liking for your own
voice they love your own voice the only
like to talk many people do it listen
well the first most important thing in
this is how to listen well because only
when you lose in value understand the
situation and hence that contribute to
your success and that success does come
to you not because you are made for the
situation but because you are adapted to
the situation the more than a copy job
whether think being ready for the
unknown be listening well or into detail
on all things that one can train oneself
to be your weren't born or endure these
qualities and words but these are things
that we can develop as we go along one
very one piece your game is how to be
resilient how do we to disappear it
success did not come easy to anybody
however good or bad you may be do you
think the world's best and the
businessman its success easy do you
think the prime minister or the
president of a country get success easy
know everybody who over the man of the
street or the head of the state of a
country all have to struggle for your
success and hence it's important to be
resilient to be persevering and as they
say success doesn't come easy
the who wrote that it sees and it says
try and try until you succeed so
perseverance is the biggest piece that
one needs to be out there respective of
the situation you're in inter spective
of the qualities that you're endowed
with
always now let's step back and see we
talk about some names in history science
technology how many of you recall these
names I'm sure some of you have studied
these names at school general knowledge
works I textbooks if the first you
weren't there I think
all of us would have been sitting in
darkness in this room there would be
nothing for electricity still nothing
all night
you know he put putting darkness the
third man Charles Ovid you would not
know the science and history of Industry
if he were not there the fourth man the
man who thought what it is to
communicate we'd not be present in
person in front of the other person
right
he suffered death and the first I don't
want to commend he is been a
mathematical genius probably what he
talked about wrote about is something
that probably many of us cannot even
comprehend in a lifetime what's common
among all these people something was
talking about there none of them did
created soon none of them did whether
college some probably did not even
attend college like the last one many of
your school teachers felt the deficits
they're doing well probably they were at
only one thing they did what they wanted
to do that particular fit very well but
at the school were expected to do
everything very well right I mean from
history to science to settings to
geography to maths to English you're
expected to do well and they would have
done but all the Summa put them to the
same after so many centuries and why
because they were persevere it would
make them successful they were
precipitate they were resilient and they
were happy single-minded devotion to
something called good that's exactly
what the orbit they just did not steer
or go off the path on what they wanted
to achieve so the point is whether they
were considered fit or the considered
misfit where they were cut isn't even
unfit it did not matter because they
have just one thing in mind
taxes and gold and they were a bit so
it's important and I try to reiterate
this point because I do not consider
anything and everything that everybody
is fit in every situation and this
cannot be the skills
it's never the case the question is how
you kind of change as we go along is
what we need to see my couple other
things I think about a small example in
technology before we go on somebody
invented and somebody taught one fine
morning that we should build a small
aperture and a lens on this pocket
device called for my phone absolutely
very innocent job to do right I mean you
say you know if this if there's a phone
he can talk he can do a camera capture
what is the Sun the small innocent work
has to be a return something called
camera irrelevant right pong of this
will carry cameras video anyway
everybody can so qui phone and now
whoever the sword because the camera
right people by a time overflow because
sort of good camera so what has happened
so people think very differently out of
the box and have been very successful
it's not that somebody wanted to do a
particular job let's look at some more
examples in the startup world in the
technology world I mean I want were
using the word startup but some of the
slightly mature companies let's look at
we don't need to go very far let's look
at the three is of the modern technology
companies who are these what name also
mine first
the three days Alibaba Amazon it will be
all three have disrupted the business
the market the way the the consumer
behaves the consumer works the consumer
thinks it's completely changed right all
these are all three of the others so all
of them have a little going after these
people they all give from very humble
parents they came from non tech
backgrounds and it's an old story when
the founder of Alibaba was an English
school teacher school teacher teaching
English he technology you sort of eat
you start somebody who knew coding like
if Amazon you come from me in the
financial world he was not a
technologist
so all these people did it because I
never even get started I'm sure somebody
will say it is not a cup of tea you
don't get into this you guys argue this
I'm sure people told them that what they
were just started they were completely
at it they said I need to succeed I need
to do this I need to make a mark for
myself in society and they did it and
that's where before talking about the
today so what does this mean this talks
about how one is adaptable how one can
be changing oneself
Metapod false oneself in wonderful
situations in this dynamic world and
that one's to this waiting situations is
that big world especially given that it
is digitally transforming and hence the
speed of transformation of the speed of
change is much much higher than what it
was earlier so all these are success
stories of people who have to not be the
right fit all the time but still made it
successful keep in the audience here I
also want to touch upon something very
very important in the same context
because today being fit or not fit or
maybe one's a
particular situation is all what skill
today's skill is not about having one
kind of skill it's not about having just
technology skill moves it is not it is
about attitudinal skills it is all
skills that people it's not life skill
today you cannot be successful just
because you're a great coder
but today you can be successful because
you're great attitude your ability to
transform yourself in multiple
situations in multiple inconsistencies
your ability to think differently your
cognitive ability your collaboration
ability these are skills that people
need to have and again going back to the
point to say that these are not skills
one is bond with these are skills which
are developed which are honed by people
will sign and people gain them it's time
and just it's like I saw you sharpen the
saw how do you sharpen the saw the more
you use the word it's better so it's
like sharpening the saw so it's about
using these skills developing these
skills and moving the time and that's
how you become better and more fit in
situations as we go it's question it's
all about ability to learn ability to
upgrade ability to keep upscaling
oneself all the time however good the
tape will do the great Jacmel she once
said if you code if you don't have a
copy to advantage you say don't compete
it's about building your copy to
advantage the import of this code is
that you need to kind of know put your
computer advantage you need to build
your skills all the time every time it's
a continuous journey
journey you need to keep doing this all
the time to be successful to be relevant
in this cognitive visioning transforming
world and that's a message not this
person is not this department is not mr.
professionals but did everyone around us
so has to be successful both
professionally and in life but ladies
and gentlemen before I conclude I want
to give another quote a very favorite
quote of mine from the animation movie
hope if you remember master shifu of
kungfu panda i'm sure everybody does so
this is what Master Shifu tell us if you
only do what you can do you will never
be bored better than what you are so the
question the point here is one needs to
continuously transform one needs to
continuously push oneself to get one
more then you were hired elevator
that's the way you grow in life in
respect to where you started what you
are endowed with you can you be
successful as long as you're at it and
strike to do the best
then you should happen thank you very
much mother very much
