This incident happened to me few weeks before. When I was heading towards the classes at 8:50 in the morning (class starts at 9 and late comers are not allowed), I saw a cute nice puppy chasing the people. Just out of curiosity it was following the people there. When a person stops there, due to fear it was moving back and then once again trying to get close to the person. Then slowly it was going to that person and tries to play with him. The people were also giving them something to eat. I was moving towards the class, but as I had some spare time I went near that puppy. Puppy was very small and barely able to walk and run. So when I went near it, somehow it managed to run and come towards me. Looking at this I also moved forward and tried to play with it. It was cute, white, with small little eyes and full of energy. As I also had to go to class, I spent few minutes with it and started moving. While leaving it I thought to catch these cuties after the class. So I walked towards the class. While leaving the place I decided to keep something for this puppy and feed it in the evening as it was looking hungry.
When I was going to class, one of the employees of the college who saw me playing with this cutie told me that its mother is very weak and not able to feed them properly. They are total seven puppies and they are staying nearby place. At that time was being late to the class so I just listened was he said and rushed to the class.
After reaching the class I found sir would come little late. I took my seat and sat and then again wondering about the puppy and its family. At that time I realized that that puppy had chosen a nice way to fill their tummy. It was very small and there are plenty of chances it could be crushed in the cruel world. But for the survival (was hungry and could not get enough food) it came out and tried to draw attention of us towards them. By chasing the people and playing with them, it successfully gained some of their potential feeders! They found doing this they are getting something to eat now! It was not easy job for them. There was a plenty of risk for them and some of people whom it was chasing could harm them also and some of them just place with them and never turned back. But due to restless efforts it was trying to gain something for it and its family.
That day was very hectic for me and I was not able to go to them. The next day when I was again rushing to the class, to my surprise, I saw another puppy, doing the same job what was done by its brother last day. It was also chasing the people and was trying to get attention of the people towards them. But this time I was late and couldn’t afford to spend some time with them. So I moved on. I found the whole exercise was a team effort. I saw the puppy which was playing was sleeping now and other one is doing the job now. Due to team effort now work was easy and still they were achieving their goal – food. I wonder who has taught them these theories…. Team work, risk taking, calculated risk, innovation, doing for others and in all entrepreneurship.
Now here comes the second part of the story. Some days ago put an article, 15 reasons why you should you not become an entrepreneur. But on the next day while I came back to my room, I was thinking about the puppy and that article; and was also trying to relate them. I found that those 15 reasons have less importance when there is a question comes to your existence. When there is a situation of life and existence, you will not think of the risks and trouble you will face. Same is the case with people who is having a passion and that too comparable with the need of existence, you will find ‘success’ there.
I am not drawing any conclusion but I think it’s a matter of one’s choice and his situation.
