Entrepreneur: Serving the Nation

The true success is to become a gamechanger.

We hear a lot about government jobs these days. Even a stranger comes to us and directly ask what we are doing. When we reply to them, “A computer science student or pursuing Bachelor of Technology”. We can see the awkwardness and agony on their faces.

Government jobs are felt to be secured because of job security, stability, and increment in salaries, perks, retirement benefits, and so on.

Moreover, people feel proud and tell that they’re in the government sector and serving the government. Many people (especially students) try to switch to these jobs or at least think of preparing for the same.

But here’s the fact!

Of course, you are serving the nation and paying taxes and securing your future. I don’t want to point out anyone because even my Dad is a Central Government Engineer (Assistant General Manager).

But for a government or any organization to function or to work you primarily need an economic resource. Now people don’t really think about how to increase the current economy (resources) but most of them worry about their own self.
Government officials can work only when they get funds from somewhere, right? (They cannot just dig a coal mine with their own money!)

How selfishness can be ‘serving the nation’?

Here’s the fact which I wanted to tell above, “The Entrepreneurship”.
A true Entrepreneur always wishes to impact the lives of the people in the best way. Improve the living style and brings a change.

It’s not about how much profits you gain or earn but it’s all about how good you are to the people (nation). Being good is not just keeping your goodness inside but the manifestation matters!

Trust = Security

When people are happy with your product or service, people will always trust you and that will secure your company. Which means you are way more secured than a government job.

The product or service obviously increases the value of the asset or investment and which itself becomes an economic resource.

This truly means serving the nation: being an entrepreneur or a tech giant!
Many people misunderstand this!

If you want to make a change or be a change for the nation then become an Entrepreneur! Become an asset for the country, build trust, and add income (funds) to the nation.

Our country needs (or there will be a situation soon) entrepreneurs or people who can bring change than just government jobholders.

Facebook, IBM, Disney, HP, Hyatt, FedEx, Microsoft, EA, and many more successful business giants who represent their nation started during an economic recession.
