Many times, things that morally can be right, Culturally may be proven wrong or vice versa. I would share one incident.

In December 2013, I was doing my MBA in Finance where we had a subject called Entrepreneurship Development. The Professor did teach us a lot of concepts, assigned projects to learn and we did it with joy. I still remember the words which made me think deep inside -“I have transferred the knowledge that I had. Now you have two choices – You can comfortably choose a job and settle for life or create your own unique business and give more jobs to people.”

That made a deep impact on me and my friend and I were sitting in the Car Park zone of my college and building my business plan of Calligraphy Services. 

Little did I know then that Culture influences Human Behaviour. Being into a Rajasthani Jain Family, where businesses run with investment of money was valued more. Anything new in the market which didn’t give daily cash was considered a hobby.

After doing MBA, you should look for a job based on the culture set.

To have a different mindset, you need to move with people following different practices (Culture) like one who thinks beyond. My mentor always says that You are the average of the top 5 people with whom you move around. 

My understanding is Culture is learnt from people around us. What we learn influences our behavior.
