Who are we to measure simply anything?
That too which can grow BIG?
Why do you want to make everything a business
when you want to be responsible for the change in society?
Can’t everything just flow, the way nature flows?
There is no need of a dam on every river isn’t it?
There is some stupid thing called God still on the top to keep a check of everything... If he is not interested in measuring what is happening in his own universe, you and I simply don’t have to bother about how much change has been happening because of your department, company or organization.
We have ego or identity issues so two companies will not come together even when they know it that if they will work together they are going to bring the change, the change which is required not the one which we write in the poster with Gandhi’s signature.
I met someone today who happens to be a person with a profile of one the big listed companies of India. First of all he talks about sustainability and large scale structure in a single sentence which make me understand the confusion his soul has! He gets even more confused when I tell him; I am working without any monetary incentives. Then he talks about the profit, our benefits, perks etc which are generated through the projects we do. Then he talks about profits again. Then there should be plans, cost ratio and then the graph of where you want to reach, how you will reach without any support etc.
The last thing which shoots blood into my brains is if you are able to make a change how you will measure it. Why should I measure it when the change is already done?
This is something like I bought a new Levis shirt which I love to wear it again and again and now I should think why I love to wear it again and again?
Arey bhai, if I know all of this why do I need you?
Simple logic hai... I just want you to give a push to a car whose petrol is not reaching up to the spark plug. Once the car starts it will run on its own. You and I don’t even need to bother about it.
Same is with every organization you are trying to create for social change. Work for a change and then forget it what you changed, start working on something else.
Why do you need to measure and rethink over it again and again and strategize and re-strategize?
One thing to tell you all,
Stop measuring and calculating the Change you create!
If you’re successful change more, if you fail then also change more…
It isn’t necessary everyone can make an Italian Pasta, try making an Indian Pizza instead!
