Developing Courage
Human life is purposive phenomenon.
- Human purposes are countless.
- A purposeful life breeds multiple goals and objectives. Goals are ultimate targets of purposeful life; while objectives are steps necessary for specific goals. Goals make someone effective, while objectives make efficient. Goals are a few while objective are many.
- Courage is developed by conviction towards specific goals and objectives.
In addition, it is essential to live with competitive attitude in life otherwise courage will not be developed rather it may die.
Courage & Entrepreneurship – Self Resistance
- The vital and essential characteristic of an entrepreneur is innovation.
Innovation is to create/introduce something new during some entrepreneurial struggle. However, a novel or pioneering act may be a mutational change or may lead towards some failure. That is why; there is great pressure on entrepreneur from inside and outside.
The inside/self pressure is managed by developing some personality traits such as positive mindset, determination, courage and confidence, while the outside/institutional pressure is managed through some effective institutional techniques.
Courage & Entrepreneurship – Abandonment
An important aspect of entrepreneurial / managerial courage is to retrieve back from wrong decisions. Let things are not going well and estimation has failed. There is need for abandonment to avoid wasted efforts. Abandonment is needed to save time, money, and efforts. It is not against managerial courage, rather it an act of moral courage.
Human Courage (Divine Perspective)
The very basis of human courage is Divine Courage.
Human courage is outcome of faith/trust on the Supremacy and Omnipotence of Allah.
Human beings are indispensably linked with each other and fortify or weaken one another. A humanistic or altruistic tendency is natural aspect of collective life that solidifies the human personality due to reciprocal phenomenon of interactive life. Consequently, human acts done for the betterment of humanity solidify the doers while inhuman acts weaken the doers.
Egoistic Standpoint Vs Courage
An act that does not qualify altruistic/divine basis is egoist not courageous. The Satan’s attitude towards Adam’s supremacy was egoist not courageous.
Allah is Creator and Sustainer of everything. He is Omnipotent with no competitor. His commandments and actions are based on best attributes, free from any injustice. He demands worship from His creation because He fully qualify for such demands while the Satan was demanding a position, not suitable for him.
The Satanic stand is not courage but an act of ego worship or egoistic standpoint.
Entrepreneurship - a high profile responsibility
Entrepreneurial struggle is, essentially, a value based struggle towards some ideals, both individual as well as institutional.
It is material driven, humanistic based, and divine oriented.
It provides sustenance to individuals, magnificence to society, and gives collective shape to Divine Ideals.
Entrepreneurial struggle follows, strictly, the natural-patterns set and designed by Divine Scheme of Creation for His creatures.
In nutshell, it is an act of vice–regency of God on some collective issues of life, a high profile responsibility.
