Perspective

Right perspective Many people have told me about viewing things from the right perspective. Many successful people are credited with having the proper view of things happening around them. People who have come through difficult times recount how they focused on the primary objective and were thereby able to come out unscathed. But how do we find the right perspective? In hindsight it is always possible to say that the perspective was right or that it was wrong. But while you are in it, how do you know? For starters, we need to know what we are trying to do. We need to know why we are trying to do whatever we are doing. We need to understand the longer term perspective of what we are doing. We need to go beyond the task orientation towards a goal orientation. We need to understand the ramifications of the goal in every action. We need to understand the personality of the work that we have undertaken. We have to imbibe the philosophy of and the responsibility of the undertaking. The above allows us to automatically do the set of activities around a basic activity, which results in completeness. Having a perspective built out of the above reasoning allows us to being in a higher level of quality into the task. And that is the right perspective on “right perspective”.

Maybe you should add another important ingredient to a successful educational system : environment. One that is conducive and motivating.
