From rebel to a social Entrepreneur



A rebel  is a person who negates the traditions and stand apart from the majority having his own view right or wrong. He doesn't accept the views commonly agreed upon. They stand against the ills of the society whether someone stand beside them or not.
A Social entrepreneur is a person who finds and utilizes the opportunities in the society for the well being of the society, being profitable as well but having the social output as a major objective. He also has own view and see the opportunities that other cannot see.
Rebels and Social Entrepreneurs are the two opposite poles of the same magnet. They have a set of common attributes with different approach. Social Entrepreneurs are also called rebels with a cause.
There are some basic differences between a rebel and a social entrepreneur…..

  • Rebels are most of the time pessimist and believe in rebuilding which starts with destroying first. Social Entrepreneurs are optimist they believe in finding area of improvement.
  • Rebels do not have the temperament of accepting others whom they disagree but Social entrepreneur accept others to change their lives.
  • Rebels are problem oriented they find the problems,social entrepreneur are solution oriented.
  • Rebels are good speaker and social entrepreneur are good listner.
  • Rebels have destructive attitude but Social Entrepreneurs have constructive approach.
  • Rebels can be said to have a negative approach while social entrepreneurs have positive thinking.
  • In the society where rebel try to crush the ills, Social Entrepreneur finds medicine to cure.
  • Rebels stand alone apart from the society for the change and Social entrepreneur stand with the society for their betterment.
But both have their own place in the society, rebels are also very important in the society as they are only people who can bring the change when the society has completely collapsed because of social ills. Social Entrepreneur keep working for the betterment of society in all circumstances they try to save the society from collapse.
A rebel can be a good social entrepreneur if…..
But I personally believe one should be social entrepreneur instead of rebel to be more effective in the society. Any person who has a mind of rebel can be good social entrepreneur after a little amendment in his attitude and thinking style. He/she just has to be positive and collective in his/her thinking and now the rebel is a social entrepreneur.
How to make your thinking positive it is an art to be learnt. There are some exercises which can help one to make one’s thinking positive and collective.
Here is the one……..Pray for all people around you…. and people you see daily…whether you like or do not like them… pray for them…especially for those whom you dislike… it is a little difficult in the beginning but with the passage of time you will see noticeable difference in your thinking… how to pray for those whom do you abhor??? Just pray, May they are guided to right path and May they are reverted to a good person…
It is one exercise, but very effective one.
