VALUE ADDITION

This term "Value Addition" seems to be very interesting but there are many things that have no value addition in our life, but we still keep on doing those things.
Now, a big question is to decide what is value adding and what is useless/non-value adding.
As the famous adage says - "Knowledge never goes in vain".But in today's highly competitive world we cant spend time in doing things which are of no immediate benefit.We need to priorities.
Again, you never know what is going to come in use when.So its very difficult to get out of this dilemma.
At this point of time, when i am in 5th term of my PGPM and companies are coming for placements, most of my friends want to pursue only those things which could help them get a better job.People have made efforts to provide weightage to there Resume.
(Research papers/Management events and all that)
Now, at this point of time if we are sitting in the classes and learning what we have learned in previous terms doesn't seems beneficial (In some classes, not in all).
But again we cant decide what actually we want to learn and what we don't want to.
Anyways we all might be thinking differently at this time, what i felt was stated above that i am not sure what to do and what not to do.
In case somebody has something value adding to be shared please let me know..........................................................

  2. Priorities apart, there can be many other activities which can be done for fun. Ofcourse we need to assign priorities to some tasks. The term "Value addition" loses its value after u get employed unless and until there is any spectacular opportunity waiting for you.

    Value addition can not be done only for the sake of it.

    One should be wise but not otherwise.
