I
would want to reiterate the same example that my mentor says which is very
simple and gives the exact gist of the makeover of our lives. Why does an apple
in a refrigerator be fresh? The reason is very simple; it's because of the
environment that's provided by the refrigerator to the apple to keep it fresh.
This is a very simple example about the environmental influence. Similarly, in
our lives also there are more chances for us to get in tune with the kind of
environment we are surrounded with.
Your
character is determined by the 5 people that you spend your time with. This was
a statement that I heard almost 3 years back and ever since then, I have made
sure that I have spent my time with the 5 chosen people who I believe are as
ambitious as me. Once again, even this anecdote speaks about environmental
influence. In one of our recent discussions with our team, our technical expert
unexpectedly started talking about how the marketing needs to be done for one
of our upcoming projects. The same person who would be more concerned on the
technical part of the work was here speaking about marketing and that too about
the convincing of the customer on the pricing. All the marketing people in the
meeting were dumbfounded and were gaping at our tech-expert. When I went back
to dig into the reason as to how this unexpected lesson was thrown across, I
understood that it was because of the environmental influence.
Many
a times, our technical team is involved during the discussions of marketing
aspects and as a result, even without any practical training, some of the
intricate topics of marketing have got subconsciously engraved in the minds of
our tech team as well. Just by the environmental influence if a techie can grow
to an extent of advising the marketing personnel, I think we must salute the
environmental influence cast by great men and women. Just by being around with
such people can make us leaders. That's how powerfully this external
environmental influence can work wonders in us internally.
You
can cast your influence through your comments.
