Re: ARE ENTREPRENEURS BORN OR MADE?

Dear Catherine Kamping,

ENTREPRENEURS ARE TRAINED!

We should try to train our Youths who Lack Dream or
Zeal. Everyone cannot dream. Only they can dream who
are hungry. Hunger doesnot necessarily mean only Food.
It is food for thought. My birth took place in a small
hut. I got my education in Government School. I
completed my engineering from Bangalore University. I
Left the decent job I got at Hindustan Machine Tools,
Kashmir in 1984. I Joined Indian Institute of Science
to do Academic Research in Rocket Engines! Alas!
Exploded ! I ditched the academic research!

I became a entrepreneur. I started a First and Only
One Computer Education Centre in 1988 in Uttara Kannda
District. My finances came from the people. No
infrastructure - Government nor Financial Institutions
supported me. But I multiplied Information Technology
Professionals who are scattered in several parts of
the Globe. I took I.T. Education to 9 Goverment
Schools. Now around 2300 students have access to
Computer in remote place like Uttara Kannada District
of Karnataka in India.

For this projct too I didn't get good finance. Money
spoils the dream to be achieved. I got out from all
this. But enterpreneur cannot die so easily in me.
That is why I say " TRAIN! TRAIN! TRAIN the Youth" to
empower them in all respect to achieve prospect of
oneself, society and globe as a whole. Not divided by
narrow vision of NATION.

Dear Friends

The goal is to provide opportunities that allow young people to "get their
feet wet" in entrepreneurial efforts. This doesn't mean throwing them into
youth-run businesses -- asking an average 16-year-old to start and run a
business is unreasonable.

We should be setting up opportunities that are run by adults and staffed by
youth. The emphasis should be as much on job training as on revenue
generation. The ideas for these jobs should be based on youth interest and
input. They should be planned so that youth can have increasing levels of
expertise and responsibility.

Dear Catherine,

An entreprenuer is born and can never be made. If they
can be made , then try to be like BILL GATES if you
can.
