Action-Oriented Approach!
Last week I read through an article written by Chetan Bhagat in a leading English daily on recent political developments and India’s discuss-until-death culture giving way to a ‘just do it’ approach. Sharing a few excerpts from the article. We have to keep moving forward in life with solutions and the solutions do not come from discussion, they come from action. India is changing and the New India likes the ‘discuss less, do more’ approach to running the country. Discussions have their place in life and can help avoid problems. However, when we take action, it doesn’t mean that everything will go perfectly. Not everything will go according to the plan. That’s the point of an action-oriented approach. We do things and fix problems as they come. There’s a life lesson for all of us, dwelling on our problems forever will lead us nowhere. Action will.
I believe Action is at the root of any success. We may have the best of skills, the most positive of attitudes and the strongest of beliefs. But if we just sit with all these attributes, nothing is going to come out of it. Every action we take may not give the required success but at the same time, no success is possible without action. I have learned over the years that our plan and our ideas will begin to build on itself once we get the ball rolling (this is the snowball effect). The key here is to simply start & take action, even if we don’t have all the answers at that moment, believe me, they will come. That terrible change that may seem to us like it is the end of the world will slowly and gradually become just a thing of the past.
I do have moments when I feel insecure, and I believe that's normal. It's our action and our attitude and our reaction to that that is important. We need to infuse our life with action. We don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make our own future. Make our own hope. Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. In our Startup world, we believe Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. I believe everything we want is out there waiting for us to ask. Everything we want also wants us. But we have to take action to get it. The new India is MALD (More Action, Less Discussion). It doesn’t just like to discuss, it Acts. After all, the famous tagline isn’t “Just Discuss It”, It is “Just Do It”.
Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!ππ½π
