Discuss the lessons the young professionals can learn from “Go Kiss the World” speech by Subroto Bagchi.
Answers
Explanation:
I understand that it is quite late to give a book review of the autobiography of Subroto Bagchi, titled “Go Kiss the world”, as it was first published by Penguin Books India way back in 2008. But I also understand that the former reviews of this impeccable book were not given from the angle or view point of a lawyer. Therefore, I would like to make it clear to every reader that this review is inclined merge the teachings of entrepreneurship and professionalism, forwarded by Subroto Bagchi, with advocacy. Before starting with the review, emphasis is made on the meaning of the term ‘professional’ and why did Subroto Bagchi stressed on the term ‘young professional’ right on the cover page of his autobiography.
I am a firm believer of one concept which is that every lawyer is de facto a professional in making. Hence, the immediate question which crops up in the readers mind is ‘who is a professional’? This question has been categorically answered by Subroto Bagchi, not in his autobiography but in his speech given during a ceremony at DCSMAT Institution.
There are few pre-requisites to be fulfilled before one can be called as a ‘professional,’ these are the following:
One who can work unsupervised
One who knows when the work gets complete: In his speech there is an example of a craftsman, only the craftsman knows when his sculpture gets complete and in the same a professional should know that when his or her work gets complete.
One who certifies the completion of work: Completion of work does not mean adding more, it means a certification that nothing more is to be added.
One who has integrity: ‘integrity’ is the choice you make to choose the right over the expedient, the right over the convenient. Great people do not fall for great reasons; they usually fall for small reasons. Integrity is such small but indispensable attribute which a professional should always have.
