There’s no denying the fact that today’s progressive world is more about novel ventures and fledgling ideas popping up every now and then. However, it is even more overwhelming to note that the current age is seeing a rise in the number of young innovators and entrepreneurs.
Try and access any news portal, and you will come across the stories of child entrepreneurs and young innovators like Gitanjali Rao, Riya Karumanchi, Emma Yang, Shubham Banerjee, and many more. These young minds at work are already making a difference through their smart inventions and start-ups.
We, at Delhi Public School, Kota, ranked among the top schools in Kota, wholeheartedly believe that there is a rising need to promote innovation and entrepreneurship among young minds. And that could be swiftly accomplished by inculcating the undermentioned traits in our children:
- Determination
Life throws tons of challenges on all of us. Each of us has to deal with a lot of ups and downs. However, the innovative lot amongst us always has the resilience to fight back and the determination to withstand hardships. This has been the sure-shot formula to succeed for many self-employed individuals, start-ups, and businesses like Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Steve Jobs (Apple), Walt Disney (Disney Co.), and many more.
- Interpersonal/ Interaction Skills
It has been seen that children having strong written and verbal aptitudes in their formative years generally sail through well in the future years. After all, be it any profession that they choose to make their foray into, they will be required to deal, communicate, and mediate with many colleagues, partners, co-workers, customers, suppliers, dealers, and potential investors. This is where their interpersonal skills and communication skills will be put to test every now and then. When they put these skills to use, they will be in a far better position to put forth their viewpoints and form professional connections smoothly.
- Financial Management
Knowledge to manage finances from the very beginning in one’s life is a crucial milestone. And when this skill is utilized in one’s career or business, it aids in reaping huge benefits/ profits. Every entrepreneur needs to keep a tab on all the debits, credits, revenues, and costs in the journey of entrepreneurship, which requires the skill of financial management.
- Planning
Being able to foresee and plan in advance is an important virtue for any entrepreneur. The ability to squeeze the best out of the resources one has is what a successful entrepreneur does – be it time, money, raw material, location, technical know-how, employees’ wisdom, or any other.
- Risk-Taking Attitude
Kids who truly understand that a setback or an obstacle is nothing but a step closer to success are generally found to be better at coping with and managing challenges better in life. Likewise, an excellent entrepreneur is one who is ever willing to take risks and grab chances. No wonder, the businesses of those who know how to access risks and turn them into opportunities accomplish more than those who opt for playing it safe.
We at Delhi Public School Kota, one of the leadng schools in Kota, firmly believe that if the respected parents of our pupils work in unison with the ever hard-working team of DPS Kota, to give a push to the innovative and entrepreneurial bent of mind amongst our little ones; we can greatly help them in achieving the ultimate success and fame in life. So, let’s begin working in the direction with one skill at a time. What say?
