WOMAN - Worthy Optimistic Magnificent Attractive “Naïve”

When I was travelling on a train to Delhi, there was a school going nearly 10-year-old boy, trying to derive a Mnemonic of “WOMAN” for the card he was going to prepare for her mother and grandmother for Women’s Day. He was trying extremely hard, but couldn’t get ahead of “W”. I tried helping him, but he wanted to work it out on his own. He asked his father for his mobile and Googled all the remaining adjectives from the respective letters. The mnemonic caught my eye when he wrote “Naïve” for the letter “N”. I asked him, whether he knew, the meaning of Naïve, he innocently denied, it since he had just Googled it.

That’s when I had a curious question in my mind, whether Women Are Naïve? Women are ruling the world, but still, there is still a blocked mentality that Woman is Naïve and cannot make sound decision. I would request you to ponder on the matter of whether Women are Naïve and conclude at the end of my write-up. Even when certain women do not have educational qualifications, they can be much more successful entrepreneurs than any highly educated man in this world. I have listed down certain areas where I have compared Woman’s roles in the house, to the roles as an entrepreneur in the corporate field.

As a Finance Professional:

A woman who is a housewife has no clear theoretical knowledge relating to Working Capital, budgeting, Cashflow, etc but steps in the role of a CFO managing the household finances without any on paper workings. She can exactly tell you the savings and the pending funds she holds for the further expenses coming forth. Even with managing the day-to-day requirements, she always holds the contingency funds without any debt in her folio. At the month-end when there are financial constraints, she will pump in the contingency funds mitigating the risk of the tense situation in the house. Her “Gullak” always acts as a Reserve Bank for her.

As a Branding Professional:

The biggest fear for a Woman is the impact on her and her family’s brand image. She exactly knows how and when the brand image needs to be improved. She never lets XYZ of the person speak anything for her family (a note: she makes sure; no one is hurt while protecting the image of the family). She can compromise anything for her maintaining image, just as incorporates, there are strategies drafted in order to improvise the public image.

As a Human Resource Professional:

Just like the corporate HR, who understands the requirements of the entire manpower of the company, the Woman, understands and fulfils the requirements of the entire family, considering the aspects of corporate welfare and finances which balance the betterment of the company and employees. She maintains the family values and culture just like HR lays down policies for the betterment of the work culture. As a housewife and mother, she successfully nurtures skillset among the children within the family.

As a Personal Relations Professional:

Along with maintaining family values, a woman makes sure to connect and maintain the presence of the family in the social world. In the corporates, the entire panel of professionals, deals with the customers, collects opinions and feedback and improvises overall performance. In a similar manner, the image of the family is maintained by the woman in the community.

 

As a Production and Supply Chain Professional:

In a manufacturing organisation, production is the core activity that plays an important role to gain revenue in the organisation. It sounds highly impossible, that the entire supply chain could be handled by a person, single-handed, in the theoretical world, but in reality, a woman does it every day. Right from purchasing food grains and vegetables to cooking to finally serving, with the perfect timing and precision, also catering all the requirements, wants and needs of the entire family.

Hence, with the above points, do you think a naïve person could act in so many roles single-handed, 365 days, without any sick leave or casual leave, no downtimes or wastages in the entire process? No right! And most importantly, she doesn’t do it because of compulsion, it is out of love and cares for the family, just like the entrepreneur nurtures and expands the business.

It is proven innumerable times, that Women have excelled in all fields nationally and internationally.

It can be rightly said, Women do extreme Wonders in all paths of life.
