Avoiding mistake and connecting right dots

Generally, I used to define the work according to the purpose. I don’t go for the execution if I’m not aware of the ultimate Goal of the work. It helps me to get the input sourcing, execution with the best possible perfection.
I believe in getting the basics right whether it is personal or professional decision. I firmly believe in taking decisions based on the factual data and prior experience in similar kind of work. If I don’t know something which is required to do a particular job/work, I’ll not hesitate in expressing this fact and I’ll make sure to learn the basics before undertaking the project.
I’m a team person and I use it to get benefit from other experienced coworker in my team or other. At the same time, I don’t overlook subordinates too when it comes to get feedback or suggestion in execution of a particular project/work.
Similar approach helps me in house hold works too. Getting advice from elders and other family members always yields benefit in one way or another.

Handling risky decision

I believe in getting the basics right whether it is personal or professional decision. I firmly believe in taking decisions based on the factual data and prior experience in similar kind of work. I may go for experienced Team Members for their advice if I’m not certain about a particular decision and facts are not supporting this decision too.
Also, I’ll make sure that the management is aware of the decision is being implemented even though it is not the best decision in that particular situation. In case of risky decision, an open table discussion among all the stake holders is certain in my case.
Once the decision is implemented, I’ll be always on the toe to have an eye on the progress, the area which is being affected due to the implementation and long-term/short-term goals.

Concept of Analyst

Analysis is a way of reducing the ambiguity of highly ambiguous situations, with the ambiguity. Many analysts prefer the middle-of-the-road explanation, rejecting high or low probability explanations. Analysts may use their own standard of proportionality as to the risk acceptance of the opponent, rejecting that the opponent may take an extreme risk to achieve what the analyst regards as a minor gain. Obviously, a set of problem-solving talents are essential for analysts.

My thought on education system in India

The really critical aspect of Indian public education system is its low quality. The actual quantity of schooling that children experience and the quality of teaching they receive are extremely insufficient in government schools.
Certain policy measures need to be taken by the government. The basic thrust of government education spending today must surely be to ensure that all children have access to government schools and to raise the quality of education in those schools. One of the ways in which the problem of poor quality of education can be tackled is through common schooling. This essentially means sharing of resources between private and public schools.
