This Old Dog Thinks Highly of India

I just wrote a piece for my website, Your Access to International Business regarding how things have changed in the country of India in the last 35-years and why the country is so important in the International Business Arena. India is still a third-world country but they also graduate more young people from college than any other country in the world. I thought that you might find my opening paragraph interesting. It is what we should be telling all of our children today. DAN

Shut-up And Finish Your Homework Kid!

Thirty-five years ago it was not uncommon for an American father, sitting at the dinner table, to say to his young child, “finish all of the food on your plate…there are children in India that are starving and would give anything to have what you are having for dinner tonight.” How times have changed. Few people in India are starving today. The economy in India is doing quite well (albeit with higher inflation than we are use to here in the U.S.) and things seem to be humming away at high speed.

So what should our American father be saying today to motivate his children?

“Shut-up and finish your homework kid…there are millions of highly educated people in India dying to steal your future job from you!”
