Solidworks Guru: It is an interesting description of someone, do you know what it means?
It would seem that the most academic way to define what a Guru is, would be to use a recognized reference resource such as Websters Dictionary to define it. Because I actually own a Webster's dictionary, (Though, Hard Copies are fast becoming a thing of the past.) I was able to find that there are actually four (4) definitions for Guru, and I have listed them below:
1. In Hinduism and Sikhism, a religious leader or teacher.
2. A spiritual leader or intellectual guide for a religious group or movement, especially one considered not to be mainstream.
3. Somebody who has a reputation as an expert leader, teacher, or practitioner in a particular field.
4. A person's revered leader, guide, mentor, or adviser in spiritual or intellectual matters.
To further define in a concise manner, A Guru is a religious leader, an intellectual leader, an expert leader or a revered leader. Certainly one of superior leadership authority over the average individual or student. I, for one, found it interesting that the word leader is in all four of Webster's definitions. Surely, this should be taken into account when forming an opinion on who and what a Guru actually is.
As we all know proper comprehensive research is not based just on the information found from one resource. So let us use yet another very fine resource, Roget's Thesaurus, to further define what a Guru is. Surely, we all understand what a Thesaurus is, and that it will offer us synonyms and not more definitions. For your information, in this research step I used Roget's Thesaurus, and I listed the synonyms I found below:
1. Spiritual Leader
2. Religious Leader
3. Maharishi
4. Sage
5. Spiritual Guide
6. Counselor
7. Leader
8. Authority
9. Leading Light
Once again, we see the word "leader" repeated over and over in the synonym list for the word Guru.
WOW... It would seem that Gurus typically have a lot of knowledge, respect and leadership abilities. Personally, I would consider a Guru to be a "one" at the top of their respective profession. Would you also agree that a Guru is that knows a lot, and has the respect of others; to include their peers?
Are most Gurus considered to be financially well off? Let's see... Often times their financial well-being is largely based on the business acumen of the individual. So the real answer is, that it varies. Should Gurus be compensated? Surely! If you go to work everyday you expect to be compensated for your efforts. Gurus are no different, and to expect to receive a paycheck. However, Gurus are often times compensated in non-traditional ways, but they are no different and surely deserve compensation, in whatever form it may come in.
One other thing to consider, though it may be a bit off point. Is "Self-Actualization", according to Maslow's Heirarchy, something that Gurus have attained? Gurus have indeed acquired knowledge, respect and financial independence in their lifetimes. So it would appear the answer is indeed yes; they have indeed attained "Self-Actualization"! Pragmatically speaking are Guru's to be trusted without any questioning? While Gurus may offer lots of very valuable information, that often narrowly focused knowledge may not apply to our own particular needs. So... EVERYONE needs to evaluate a Guru's advice for themselves before acting on a Guru's advice.
I do hope this was informative for you, and I hope it helps you access and filter the barrage of information in e-mail form that is likely hitting your in-box Solidworks Simulation.
Thank you very much for your time and attention, and for reading this article!
Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!
