Anoop Bishnoi - Building self-confidence while building your business

-

Starting something new can seem a little intimidating at first, especially if it’s a fledgling venture. Just like one needs sturdy assets to build a strong foundation, one requires adequate self-confidence and self-esteem for a robust career. While it comes naturally to some, others have to work hard to develop it. Fortunately, there are some strategies and exercises that can help new entrepreneurs acclimate to their roles with poise and conviction, and become more confident.


To remove any barriers of self-doubt and insecurities and get better at what you’re already so good at, one can learn and derive from experienced entrepreneurs who have seen the ups-and-downs in their vocation(s). Anoop Singh Bishnoi, is perhaps such an entrepreneur, and here’s what he discerns, “Entrepreneurship takes courage, and to succeed, one needs to believe in oneself. True Confidence emerges from being self-aware of one’s abilities, strengths, and weaknesses –and it keeps one planted in reality. Acknowledging one’s limitations, saying no when it’s necessary are needed aspects…having confidence doesn’t mean one has to do everything by oneself – burnouts, stress, and depression erode confidence, so instead of saying “I don’t think I can”, sternly make your nos clear. Another thing that helps to boost confidence is how one attires oneself, it also affects how we see ourselves. Choose clothing that reflects what you want to project. Most importantly, develop a mindset of self-worth, recognize your achievements, learn from your past mistakes, and approach life with steps of progress, not perfection – convince yourself that you’re confident.”

Obviously, there’s no switch to make one feel confident instantly, your confidence is your own, it’s in your hands to develop or undermine it. Just remember, no matter at what stage of business you are, confidence is most effective when it is grounded in expertise and authenticity, trust yourself and you’ve got it!

While the number of illiterate youth has decreased from 170 million to 115 million, nonetheless, the gender gap in literacy rates has remained relatively stable. For example, India has a significant gender disparity. Approximately 75% of Indian men have at least a basic level of literacy, while 51% of Indian women are literate. Some of the findings of a survey conducted among teachers, parents, and students to understand their perceptions and attitudes towards gender in the education space were as follows: most parents believe that nurturing and caring for children are basic responsibilities of women. Most parents believe that women tolerate violence for the sake of the family, and they point to symbols of sacrifice and compassion as evidence. According to 34% of parents, the main cause of sexual abuse is girls’ behavior and sartorial style. Around 40% of teachers also stated that they assign decoration tasks to girls and tangible physical tasks to boys. To address a deeply embedded

Does CUET reduce Students’ pressure-A Bane or Beacon for Students

-

Last year, the Union government announced that all admissions to Central Universities for undergraduate courses would be decided by a Common University Entrance Test (CUET). The CUET’s goals are admirable, and it is likely that this will change the education landscape in a few years. After all, unreasonable high school cutoffs are a legitimate concern, and the CUET may, in the long run, level the playing field for students across the country. However, there are more arguments against the common entrance exam than for it. The concept of bringing uniformity to the admissions process via a centralized exam is not novel. In 2010, the Central University CET was used for admission to 1,500 seats in seven new Central universities. By 2020, the entrance examination had grown to include 14 new central universities and four state universities. The real question here is whether the Common Entrance Test is more discriminatory than the previous method of admitting students based on their performanc

Children today are safer than ever before in a variety of ways. Better public safety, less “stranger danger,” and more logic however the twenty-first century brings new challenges to child safety, particularly when considering the digital environment. Children are voracious consumers of digital technologies. Despite all of the opportunities provided by the digital world, such as playing, learning, and socializing, digital engagement poses risks to children’s safety that can have real-world consequences. Many risks in the digital world are analogous to those in the physical world. Bullies can reach their victims online just as easily as they can in the schoolyard. Children can be exposed to hate speech and racism through the virtual games they play, videos they watch, and communication apps they use. Some risks, however, are more specific to the digital environment, such as sending or receiving sexually explicit messages online, or the use and misuse of children’s data. Pop-ups in app
