Bootstrap

Perhaps the most popular word amongst my fellow EITs this month is the word Responsive. And it is a very important word in any entrepreneur’s life too. Exactly how responsive are you to change? Change in consumer taste, change in competition, change in market and change in strategies. Exactly how responsive is your col-xs-? How responsive are you to the smallest changes. Are you ready to make a carousel in your business so that it changes regularly or are you very satisfied with your static returns. It is very necessary that we constantly revise our business objectives and find solutions that will be the jumbotron in our successes. How much bootstrap do you have in your business? How responsive is your business to change?

THE 3.25%

I realized today how extremely valuable and gifted my classmates were.  Out of 800 MEST applicants for the year 2013, 26 students were chosen to prove their worth to the world. This gives a percentage of 3.25. These 25 people were chosen from the best of the whole lot. I almost forgot their worth. Maybe because I was chosen as part of them and have the same amount of MEST DNA they all possess.

 What makes these MEST-ers unique? It is their adaptable nature to change and their extremely high growth potential. You see more transformations in their 2 years at MEST than you probably would in their whole lives before MEST. How they can grow businesses and start recognizing profits in 48hrs. How a complete dud in techies can become such an expert in the universe of technology. And how a complete amateur in ping pong can go about smashing all his opponents to victory.

Granted that others, given the same opportunities the 3.25% have may perform at par or even more, but what makes these people so unique is their readiness to harness their potential into actual products. I see a lot potential in these people, but  I also see a group of young determined entrepreneurs ready to make it happen beyond the limitations.

It is their adaptable nature to change and their extremely high growth potential. You see more transformations in their 2 years at MEST than you probably would in their whole lives before MEST.
