A Parade of Business opportunities/technology/ideas does not make an entrepreneur

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This post has seen a series of posts on business opportunities and techniques:   say sweets baking, resto, water supply busoiness that would seem to impress many people to enter and invest in such business.  However nothing can be further from the truth.  There needs to be two other masteries in addition to the enterprise:   Mastery of Self, and Mastery of Opportunities.

This post and the academe believe that Mastery of the Self is the ground on which sound enterpreneurship is based   You must want and be passionate about the business.

As Toyoda said about Toyota, it is not a business born out of business plan but a business "born in our hearts.  "

The teaching days are over

I do not expect to post more articles here nor in the NU12 (Entrepnew) blogs/self dev/FB pages. My academic stint has ended albeit unceremoniously because of my apparent inability to comply with new policy on 7 days grade submission after end of semester. I have a day job, and so with the students. We are both working professionals. (Hence the name Professional School) I could not go on perpetual state of insubordination with the administration. The cluster chair wrote me a letter agreeing to my giving up. (interpretation as a resignation. I did not expressly say though that I am resigning)

However, I heard from the grapevine that the administration relented to a cluster request to submit grades after one month, and that the edict should be disregarded by the cluster There are many new rules according to other faculty that are not in writing. However, meeting request must be in writing. (Hard copy) Emails are not answered. (Hearsay again. I am not to be quoted)

I could not care less because I have other interest, and I have done my best while in the care of the academe.

Now it is over. All that they have to do is do nothing (not renewing my 90 days contract) However, I could not help but think aloud.

I thank the former Dean and the administration for the 13 wonderful years of teaching.
