Short term thinking of long term visionaries..!

I will not start and end with Raju..because he is just one of us (not many). His contribution to Indian economy may be understood later by everyone if we start taking it as learning event. He is a true example for result of greed and also courage to accept. To me, the Satyam story is not about fraud and it is actually all about greed. There can be many implications of greed and fraud is just one of them. The 2009 recession does'nt look like just another cyclic recession. This is also one of the implication of increasing greed at all levels globally. The reason of collapse of housing and banking sector in US is no different.

While sleeping, if you take your body out of the bedsheet (chadar..), you may get hurt by falling from the bed and start feeling the cold of the floor. This is the difference between growth and sustainable growth. Now a days, every business house is calling their chairman as visionary. The word vision is attached to a person after he has achieved signicant growth. This cannot be right. Vision should come before growth. Unlimited growth is not a vision. Actually whether growth will follow vision is also not important. No body called Dhirubhai Ambani a visionary before Reliance became so big. Growth is not always the product of vision. Most of the times, growth just happens...just like that..sometimes because of good circumstances, sometimes luck and many times because of greed.

As I said before, the greed is increasing at all levels i,e, individual, family, corporate, country and global levels. Any professional (not just IT), wants to become a CEO too fast without thinking whether he or she can sustain this growth. The difference between can and should is undermined by everyone. Even one becomes of CEO in 5 years of his career, it may not be good for everyone and so for you. Similarly, corporates are also doubling their sales target every year. This is because of unhealthy competition present in the market which is again a result of greed. Too much aggression is not passion for work and can not achieve much in long term. With so much expansion of businesses, it is actually difficult to take hollistic view of the situation and so every "leader" is ending up survival of each day.

The choice is between God and Greed. Your interest in GOD is only one thing which can be grown unlimited without analysing for sustainability.
