Misconceptions Of Bad Thinking

I was working as a Assistant Professor in a highly reputed college of Uttar Pradesh, India. Once I was appointed as invigilator during a semester examination duty and there was another gentlemen with me from different college as co-invigilator. As we started interacting, I came to know that the person was a professor in Sanskrit in some college. Being a professor of an MBA college, the feeling of superiority complex got developed in my mind and I gradually started feeling as if that person is far less than me as he was not an MBA professor but a Sanskrit professor.

As we continued our discussion, talking about our experiences, I came to know that the person is PhD in Sanskrit. He has written many research papers on Sanskrit Language and has given seminars in many national and international conferences. Immediately all my ego and superiority complex of being a professor on a management colleges got perished as my qualification was just MBA with no research paper, no books & no conferences at all. I felt highly shameful of me and changed the topic of my discussion to some political news so that the other person should not feel as if I am trying to be more superior and that's the reason I am willing tom know his qualification.

This is basically a result of bad thinking prevalent in our country that says that only those people deserve respect in society who have done some kind of B.Tech, MBBS or MBA and rest all are unintelligent. Unless we change this mindset, our country can never grow. Growth of a nation not depends upon its technical capability, but on the thought process of its citizens.
