Learning the hard way!
My colleague and I have agreed on one Mission Statement, " Never allow any of our freshers fail. They learn to succeed through failures".
We have been living through our mission every day for the last three years. We bring on board a lot of freshers and invest about 30% of our time in grooming and nurturing them. Our success has been probably 50%. However, this has not deterred us from pursuing what we stand for.
There have been several moments of let down. Sometimes our freshers find this hard to believe to an extent that they look at us with abundant caution!
Some of them in search of quick success try to connect with the highest power centers. Some of them tend to hide in obscurity. Some of them pretend to know everything. Through all this we try and weave a meaningful pattern.
We also realise that the young turks of today, grow up with a different perception. They grow up in such diluted value system of the society that they are not sure what to expect. The world around them is competitive and people would do anything to succeed. We hang in there. Hoping that one day, the dream would be realised.
We keep our hopes alive..for every dusk rolls into darkness in the hope that there will a dawn and bright sunlight the next day..This phenomenon has seen the evolution of mankind. However today, as I write this piece, the dusk seems a little longer...one youngster again misinterprets a mail which enquires about her whereabouts and considers it to be a feedback and gives me a piece of advise that I should be giving my feedback to her directly. I spend the longer dusk wondering what feedback? It was just a friendly mail to two new fraternity who joined us about four weeks ago and I had heard about one and not about the other and pat comes the reaction.
The dusk is giving way to darkness. Fatigue of the day is hitting me. I need to rest, I am sure that tomorrow will be a sunny day!!

I think all the thought, effort, and time spent is worth the while, even if one single person is able to rise above the waves of mediocrity that define our everyday lives.
Am sure a lot of youngsters have a lot to thank you and your team for, John! :)
