The Contributors Identity

WHO IS CONTRIBUTOR

For Example: If Sachin Tendulkar would have satisfied with his records and achievements before 5 years, then he would not be able to make 100 centuries.
Another Example is, if a good scientist is satisfied with his/her success in finding new patterns , then he will not be able to find new patterns. He/She should always curious about finding and learning new things.

IDENTITY OF CONTRIBUTOR TYPES OF IDENTITY WHY TO CHOOSE DYANMIC IDENTITY?

LESSON : The Contributors image of self is not defined by the qualifications and achievements he/she has got. Rather, he/she thinks of oneself as someone who has the capability to make a positive difference in the world.

A doctor should not take degree only to earn, but he should always try to help the society ,and should take steps towards welfare of society.

CONCEPT APPLICATION
EIGHTY YEAR OLD AILING DOCTOR DOES 150
SURGERIES A DAY FREE OF COST

He is 80, is battling throat cancer and can barely talk, is confined to a wheelchair because of an accident, has undergone a triple bypass surgery and has a heart that functions only up to 18% of its capacity. Dr Sharad Kumar Dicksheet is confined to hospital beds indeed, but only to fix peoples defective faces and bodies, something the plastic surgeon has been doing free of cost for poor patients . Speed and efficiency are his mantras and he performs 100-150 surgeries a day. Such operations usually cost 25,000 but he does them for free, clocking 2,66,000 surgeries in India in the past 42 years

A Padma Shri awardee, Dr Dicksheet lives in New York for six months and spends the rest of the time in India, from September to March, travelling across 10 states solely to perform surgeries for cleft lips, squint eyes, facial scars and birthmark removal. Each year, he travels through Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Rajasthan to perform the surgeries. My troubles are nothing when compared to the problems of children who come in for surgeries and the stigma they face in life because of their disfigurement. My sole aim in life is to give them a better life, said Dr Dicksheet.

DYNAMIC IDENTITY I can be useful in many ways-my specialization is only one such way of being useful.

I am higher or lower based on my position.

I can do only those things which I have done before.

There is no higher or lower in a team.

I am capable of learning all kinds of new things in my job.
