Alternative Mindset (June 17, 2014)

On June 17, 2014 it was our second session in Technopreneurship subject. Unfortunately I was late for the first time, as usual as what I always saw and witnessed all those late must show their hidden talent and for me that was a nice experienced after all. Okay, by the ways let me think and refresh first of what we had discussed at that time… hmmm… ?

Yes! That was the alternative mind set a Rationale Technopreneurship. Actually it is my first time to hear about that alternative mind set and the counterpart of it. When I heard that word then I talked to myself “alternative mind set?” “I really have no idea about it, okey fine let me listen to Sir.”  So here it goes, as what I’ ve heard and remembered to our facilitator he said that the default mindset that our parents was usually thinking and telling us about was “go to school, get good grades , and land with good job”. As what I thinking “yeah, our parents was right!” (okay let me pause and listen again). But after that when our facilitator talked about the alternative one which is “ go to school, get good grades, and be an employer in your own business not an employee”. That time, it sinks in my mind that the two has different thoughts and meaning that must be understood well.

As a currently student I will admit that I still have that default mindset that my parents usually tell me until such time after I heard that alternative mind set to our facilitator as a Technopreneurship minded person also, my comprehension was changed about the default one and I realized that our facilitator was right on pushing the thought of the alternative mind set. Yeah, why not after I or you graduated and already have those good grades then you will make your own start up business or being an employer in your own company? Instead being an employee, why not took the alternative one? Of course for me as a Information Technology graduate someday I prefer also to take the alternative one not just to apply on what I’ve learned from Technopreneurship but the alternative mindset also speaks for the reality and the practicality of what people need today. By that kind of thinking many opportunities will open for those who wanted to be employed and I might be that someone who will manage may own business as an employer.  For me it sounds good. When the time comes that many people will think the same way that technopreneur way of thinking too, then our economy will gradually progress because of a big earnings and high technology that we have compared to other country.

I know that the default mind set was good enough but the things will goes is not for our life time benefits anymore. Like for example , you graduated and have good grades then you will become an employee of a certain technological company or just a commercial company then you will be paid in a minimum wage after that you will be going to loan because of having not enough resources to live, after more than a year’s nothing was changed because your just an employee have a minimum  wage then when you get old you will just received a retirement fee by that you cannot see what are those things you are working for , so for me it seems like I was just wasting my whole life to get employed without nothing on hand because of having not enough beneficiary. Things might just happen like that if you will do the same thing that everyone still believes to do. Unlike changing your perspective to follow the new one which is the alternative mindset. Same with , you graduated and having a good grades  then this must be the right thing you will do , to plan and make your own business by the help of technopreneurship methods on developing your own start up, by that when you will having your own business already all the things will easier for you to worked and earned more. The advantage of that was of course you will be an employer on your own and that is the best position you would imagined to have because aside from its yours you will be the one who hire and help other people who wanted to get employ. That will make sense that you are very fortunate that you choose to be a technopreneur. Then when you get old you can still earn big and you can still feed your family with your own developed business. For me the two mindset really have a big differences when get applied and notice that its better to have an alternative mindset.

Back to the situation when our facilitator was always repeating those things I realized that technopreneurship can really big help to those who wanted to become rich and to become an entrepreneur one. Hearing with those mindset that earning money is a big help to have a solution to our economic growth and poverty issues. If establishments/buildings or businesses will get implemented many people will get a new job either will have lots of opportunity then it will really help our country away from being the slowest economic growth in the world. For me it’s your choice to believe and follow all those said mindsets but make sure your job will fits your passion to work for it. I know that still your passion and loved of the things you do will matters the most when time gets you need to decide what path will you take after you will become graduated and having those good or not good grades. I’m sure in the near future when we already reached our goals our parents will be proud of no matter what it takes because more than anyone else they are the one who witnessed all the hardship you gave just to have a better future with them.
