One Nation, One Decade, 10Q economy : India's super power roadmap. Part-1

 

FIRST YEAR: BASEMENT

Four Principles That Changed My Thinking

 

After seeing the blog title, people started joking and questioning my mental stability because I was talking about India becoming a 10Q economy and one of the world's superpowers.

Before I started writing this blog, I asked random people about India's potential to become a superpower and achieve a 10Q economy. Most of their answers were similar. Some people asked me whether I was serious or whether it was just a sales and marketing gimmick to promote my idea. Others asked, "Do you even know the meaning of 10Q?"

Some people politely asked, "Are you taking any medicine for a mental disability?" Others said, "The United States and China have not reached that level of economic size, yet you are talking about a 10-quadrillion-rupee economy, which is approximately 100 trillion US dollars. It is not possible in the current situation. India cannot reach that goal, not even in a dream."

These responses made me rethink my way of thinking because almost everyone said that my ideas sounded like a fictional story rather than something practical or achievable in the real world.

Later, I asked my teacher about it. She said:

"I do not know much about economics or politics, but I understand calculation and analysis. Whenever you want to achieve something, you must evaluate it from both positive and negative perspectives.

For example, if you want to buy a new vehicle, you should think about insurance, fuel expenses, how many kilometers you will drive, whether you can maintain it properly, whether you really need it, parking availability, what would happen in case of an accident, who would take care of you, how it would affect your family, and, most importantly, your finances.

Without proper calculation, such decisions can create unnecessary difficulties.

Your way of thinking should follow the same principle. Whenever you express a thought, idea, or principle, people may take it seriously. Therefore, you must evaluate both the positive and negative aspects.

More importantly, you should understand four basic principles:

1.     Reimagine the past. By examining the past, you can identify loopholes. Once you find the loopholes, you can fix problems, and solving problems makes it easier to achieve goals.

2.    If you do not think about the future, today's best decision may become tomorrow's nightmare.

3.    If we do not have the power to control something, it is often better to avoid it whenever possible.

4.    If there is no fear, caution, or accountability in a system, the system may become ineffective and unsystematic.

Only then will you find the answer to your question."

After hearing my teacher's words, I began rethinking India's dream of becoming a 10Q economy and a global superpower. These four basic principles gave me greater clarity on how to approach my research.

For example, a private-sector employee may earn a monthly salary of ₹15,000 while working more than ten hours a day under demanding conditions. In contrast, a government employee may earn more than ₹30,000 per month while demonstrating lower productivity. This can contribute to slower government efficiency.

The fourth principle applies here. A private-sector employee often fears losing their job, which motivates them to perform efficiently. A government employee, however, may enjoy greater job security. As a result, some may assume that whatever they do is acceptable because they are rarely questioned or held accountable.

These are simple principles, but they can be highly effective. Therefore, I started thinking deeply about our past...
