Explain with reference to
the context –
Forget the clock
Nine-to-five doesn’t exist?
Answer :
Reference -:
The Lines are taken
from the chapter ‘Are you an Entrepreneur’ by Victor Kiam.
Explanation -
The writer says that
nothing worthwhile can be achieved when your eyes are glued to the clock. Going
to work to nine in the morning and coming way at five in the afternoon is not
going to lead you anywhere. It is an office goer’s mentality, a clerk’s habit
to keep eyes on the clock and working from nine to five. You will have to make
sacrifice of your time to achieve success. In the fields of science, industry,
business etc. Following limits of time will not lead you anywhere. You will
have to plunge yourself deep forgetting all time-limits to bring out pearls of
success. ‘Forget lunch time , forget dinner time, forget enjoying weekends and
devote yourself to work, and you will find your venture progressing by leaps
and bounds’ is the message of the lesson ‘Are You an Entrepreneur’ ?
Long Question
Question
1)
What are the prerequisites
(qualities) of a good entrepreneur ?
Answer :
According
to Victor Kiam , an entrepreneur must have many prerequisites . The writer
gives six important tips which are important for becoming an entrepreneur .
First of all,
the
entrepreneur should have enough Self-Confidence. Self-Confidence is a must for
a young entrepreneur . A confident entrepreneur enjoys the full faith of his
investors . He can easily convince his customers about the quality products and
services . All this is possible if he is filled with Self-Confidence . Lack of
Confidence is not a disease . It is a symptom of fear and negative attitude of
your capabilities . You are afraid of taking risks . You want to play safe .
You dare not take decision lest you should not in trouble. But once you take an
action your confidence is built in yourself .
Secondly
, the entrepreneur must produce top-quality products . The quality of products
is more important than the Sales.
The
third thing is to be willing to make sacrifice. A good entrepreneur does not go
by the fixed hours of work . He will have to forget his lunches and dinners ,
on time to time . He might have to forget about relaxing week-ends.
The
fourth point is to recognise the opportunity . The entrepreneur should examine
from every angle before accepting or rejecting it .
The
fifth point is to be able to take a quick decision . He should not get nervous
in adversity (difficult situation ) .
The
last point is that the entrepreneur should himself set an example before his
workers . He should be ready to work harder than his subordinates do .
