Dr. Santosh Ku Mohapatra: Self belief is important
There was time, when experts were coming to our office or Insurance Institute to deliver talk, I used to ask questions them. At that time, some others were laughing at me. But I had faith upon my ability and was undaunted by any remarks. Even in union, instead of circulating my articles, our people used to circulate others’ articles and give me too to point out indirectly that they are better. But many of them telephone me , give remarks on facebook and have their publication on the same page where I occupy more space. We are not growing because we don’t want our people to gain name and fame.
I had suggested that seniors should write on current topics on the subject they have expertise. They don’t believe in themselves but they have knowledge better than many professors too. They neither believe in their abilities nor own people’s abilities. The problem is that if own people grow, they may occupy trade union space more leaving less for others.
This is called inferiority complex and jealousy
When people praise , appreciate outsiders for any feat/ achievement/ success while ignoring their own people for same feat and achievement.. This type of discrimination is pervasive everywhere . That is the greatest threat to growth of genuine persons. A person cannot be considered as progresive if he/she is not broadminded enough control one’s jealousy and inferiority complex. Hopefully, we will transcend upon such wrong natures in future if we have.
