It is widely known that "Experience is the best teacher :. True ! In our life, we may have to face lot of hurdles and hardships. We tend to curse our own fate during these periods. But to overcome all these, we should have some guts. Like that, we may have to come across some worst experiences atleast once or twice in our life time. To fend them all, we should cultivate a habit of facing them without much fuss, which can be achieved only through our experiences. We can learn a lot from other's experiences also. Watching closely how others behave during turmoils and analysing the process to sort out what is good for that occasion will lead us to take a good decision about how to tackle the situation in a matured way.
Generally, we use to take the opinion of the elders at home and nearby when we are faced with some tactical problems in the fervent hope that they might have encountered such ones in their lives and could have taken a correct decision to wriggle out of the same. It is always good to take the advice of the elders on matters relating to our day to day life. Even though every advice cannot be blindly followed, we should have our own assessment of the situation and the nett result of our counter should not negatively affect our future.
In my thirty six years of service in Railways, I had had many occasions when I was called up in the dead part of the night to assist my co-workers when they had to encounter problems in dealing trains, problems with travelling public and during accidents. Never did I show my back when I was thus disturbed, instead I thought it a recognition of my experience in my service in Railways. All is said about experience, but how it affects a beginner is a subject to be discussed. A fresher from a college or school, seeking a job in a private establishment, has to face the question " Your experience?". Knowing fully well that he or she is a fresh product from an institution, the above question is out of place. But the firms always look for experienced hands so as to improve their business. [ Now a days more IT and other firms select freshers from schools and colleges under the Campus selection process which is a welcome trend]. Opportunities should be given to candidates with good academic background, with good flavour and mindset for hard work. In our present society we want men with knowledge and constructive ideas who are ready to work sincerely to promote our culture and heritage, our dignity and the least our country's economy.Here there is no choice between a fresher or an experienced hand. After all, can we ask a man or a woman, while proposing for marriage, whether they have got any experience in that field. Quite absurd.

Laughed at the analogy in the end. I don't think there is any better way to state that freshers should also get a chance. Enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteThough fresher's are being hired by IT firms there are situations where they are compared with experienced hands. I am not aware of such discrimination in the public sector though.
ReplyDeleteVery well written.. Enjoyed reading it
ReplyDeleteA very good message is given through this blog to the society.
ReplyDeleteVery well put up that a new person to a field also deserves a chance. Do not compare is the learning I take from the reading. The finishing analogue is to be appreciated, thought worthy :)
