Mind Vs MindSet

The current population of India is 1,170,938,000 (www.google.com/publicdata). 55% of the population are under age of 25 which constitutes to 64,401,5900. Post 1991 liberalization (thanks to Manmohan Singh) India is a dominant force in this 21st century and will be dominant in the coming years. These facts and figures look impressive but, are we a dominant force? will we be a dominant force in the future?

Intelligent Mind Vs Clever Mind:
It is crystal clear to say that there are 644+ million Intelligent minds currently. And this number is growing rapidly. I think being intelligent is simply not enough, one needs to be smart and clever. I recall a popular satirical joke- when one Japanese and one more Japanese come together how many they become? two? no they become eleven. They form a great team. Similarly, when one Indian and one more Indian come together how many do they become? two? eleven? no ZERO. They neutralize each other.Minds are intelligent, Mindset are chaotic, destructive. These intelligent minds have outgrown and have become too smart-instead of smart, cunning instead of clever. We argue, fight on so many petty little things in the name of caste, regions, religion, power, creed. The mindsets are burdened with negative thoughts, negativism. In order to be a greater force, one should have a observant mindset, a clever/smart mindset.

I met a few friends on other day and we had a topic on politics and they unanimously agreed Indian politics and political system is nonsense and crap and will never change. I have been wondering this too for too long now-will the political system ever change?. I am dangerously optimistic on this I believe it will change. The change happens when the national mindset changes.When these intelligent minds representing India change-instead of being smart-asses-being smart. Now I wonder in how many years will that happen?

You may be very very very very very good..........but I am the best (coz i am smart)
