One of my favorite Big B movie is Manzil (probably even lesser known than its song: "Rimjhim gire Saawan..") - in which he plays a fresher from college, least interested in getting a job and highly motivated to startup. He identifies a recycling business - repair defunct galvanometers and sell them to companies and universities. He is hell bent to do it, but there are relationships - friendship, love, mother that make the job a bit complex. The guy is highly ethical in business but falters when a local technician - Pyarelal screws him after being bribed by the market leader. And the relationships go for a toss when the enterpreneur's forecasts are not met. Mired into litigation and emotionally distraught, he learns the hard way and then does it by himself - learns physics and completes the pending order before living happily ever after.
In contrast came another movie - Trishul. Here was a Vijay, highly confident, oozed chutzpah and who was an effective executioner. The audacious commitments were met incredibly fast and very smoothly. He would use, saam-daam-dand-bhed in the most effective manner. However the motive here was someone's downfall more than own rise. But can a conviction become so strong so as to replace the market leader in no time and can one garner such support, create the strongest team and beat the best in the business?
I do not happen to have seen any of the three movies that you mentioned or even heard the song for that matter but you did bring up the topic of ethics. It is almost a tacit rule that a successful entrepreneur would have somewhere been unethical. The cases such as those in manzil are not so easy to come by in the real world as per me.
ReplyDeleteAn individual can never grow simply by trying and hindering somebody else.. Even if one achieves success doing this , i personally feel it cant be permanent..

Beat the best in the Business!!!..hmm...Dats something to ponder over...
ReplyDeleteSo who is the "best" in his business? For me, if I can do something, which nobody else can do better than me in the market,then I am the BEST!
To become the Best..One just have to do better than the current Best...And dere we'll have..a new Best! You just have to defeat ONE person to be the "Best"...
Isnt it Simple :)
