“Professor M.S. Rao’s Signature – Life is Great!”



“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.” ― Gabriel García Márquez


Two days ago, I requested an eminent website to feature my interview on my award-winning book ’21 Success Sutras for Leaders’ URL: http://www.amazon.com/21-Success-Sutras-Leaders-ebook/dp/B00AK98ELI which was ranked as one of the Top Ten Leadership Books by San Diego University for the year 2013. The founder of the website is very passionate to acquire knowledge. He features interviews and posts articles written by award-winning and bestselling authors globally. I thought it was a great opportunity for me to share my knowledge on my bestselling book.  Above all, I am also a passionate about acquiring and sharing my knowledge. He promptly replied and informed me that he had bought my book and started reading it. He congratulated on my accomplishments, my focus and my life’s work. He was impressed with my e-mail signature "Life is great!" and asked the following question: Can you tell me the thoughts, the mindset, and the beliefs that help you live your mantra, "life is great!"?

Here is my response: Life is a circus with peaks and valleys. It all depends on how we take it. I consider that life is truly great as life is full of twists and turns.  Things won’t happen the way we want. Things happen the way they are supposed to happen. Life takes lots of turns which we rarely expect.  

I joined Indian Air Force when I was 18 years old and served some years.  During this period I acquired many qualifications including MBA as I am a continuous learner. I am a self-taught and self-made man. I entered into business to become a successful entrepreneur. I failed miserably. Then I took up to teaching profession eight years ago since I have many qualifications including MBA. I restarted my education in 2007 and completed my PhD in Soft Skills in 2011. I never expected that I would earn my PhD.  I started to author books from 2010 and authored 36 leadership books so far. Of which 30 have been published and six books are under publication pipeline. For all these books, eminent international management thinkers have written forewords. Here are some of them: Marshall Goldsmith, Dave Ulrich, Chip R. Bell, Ken Shelton, Jim Kouzes, Barry Posner, Dr. Nido R. Qubein, James Strock, John H. Zenger, Roland Sullivan, David Clutterbuck, Fons Trompenaars, Norm Smallwood, Howard M. Guttman, Dr. Tony Alessandra, Jim Cathcart, Chris Widener, John Baldoni, Lois J. Zachary, Patricia Wheeler, Kate Sweetman, Sarah McArthur, Subir Chowdhury, Soumitra Dutta (Dean), Debra Benton, Colin Gautrey, Gerard Seijts, Orrin Woodward, John Spence and Bob Urichuck.

Two of these books are the bestselling globally. ‘21 Success Sutras for Leaders’ has been ranked as one of the Top Ten Books by San Diego University for the year 2013, and another award-winning book ‘Success Tools for CEO Coaches’ http://www.amazon.in/SUCCESS-COAHES-LEARNER-LEADER-LADDER/dp/9351102491 received community award winner from Small Business Book Awards 2014  http://bookawards.smallbiztrends.com/management-2014/success-tools-for-ceo-coaches-8/ I underwent lots of trials and tribulations since childhood as I was born in a poor family. Financial hardships were severe throughout my life especially during the period of 2010 to 2013 as there no income on my books. I remained unemployed without any regular income.  Despite financial challenges I started a nonprofit initiative - “Vision 2030” to build one million students as global leaders by 2030 http://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.in/2014/12/professor-m-s-raos-vision-2030-one_31.html Recently my “Vision 2030” received Leadership 500 Excellence Awards 2015.   Hence, based on my life experiences, I concluded that “Life is great!” and I kept it in my email signature. I am 51 years old with a long way to go. I’m not sure how many turns my life would take. Life is truly great indeed!

Professor M.S.Rao’s Principle – The 10-20-30 Rule –– Local, National and Global Leader










“Winner don’t quit because they are passionate about their work. If you are not passionate, you will quit because when things become difficult our will say this is not my kind of stuff.” ––Steve Jobs


There are a number of principles in the world including Pareto’s Principle 80/20 and Jack Welch’s 20:70:10. Here is another principle I have coined to become a local, national and global leader – Professor M.S.Rao’s Principle 10/20/30.  Here is an elaborate explanation of this principle which can be applied in any industry and sector to grow as a local, national and global leader.   

To achieve happiness and success in your life, you must pursue your passions without searching for monetary rewards. Passion leads to money, not the other way round. Hence, follow your heart where you are comfortable and enjoy doing it with loads of enthusiasm and without any stress. After identifying your passions, follow them relentlessly by investing your efforts and energies consistently. If you work hard for 10,000 hours which may take 3 years approximately, you will become an expert and authority in your area. You can become a professional and grow as a local leader.  If you continue investing your efforts and energies in your passionate area for 20,000 hours which may take around 6 years, you become an expert and authority at the national level to grow as a national leader. In a nutshell, you grow as a thought leader at the national level.  If you invest your efforts and energies in the same area for a period of 30,000 hours which may take around 9 years of your life, you become an expert and authority at the international level. You will grow as a global leader in your passionate area.  When you look at film stars, sportspersons, leaders and celebrities, they achieved amazing success by following this principle and sticking to their passionate areas without any deviation.

The entire process appears to be easy to read but it is very difficult to apply because there will be innumerable challenges on the way to reach to the tipping point.  You must have patience, and be persistent to achieve your goals.  You must work for satisfaction, not for recognition.   Above all, you must have a heart to make a difference in the lives of others to be accepted and respected as a global leader. Enjoy the journey, not the destination. Emphasize on means, not ends to provide meaning to your life. Explore and experiment this principle and I am sure you be a global leader.

Good luck to become a global leader!


“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ––Albert Einstein

“How to Meet the Rising Expectations of all Stakeholders?”– Professor M.S.Rao











“Exceed your customer's expectations. If you do, they'll come back over and over. Give them what they want - and a little more.” — Sam Walton


Currently leaders at the top are concerned about the rising expectations of stakeholders globally. Students expect more from educators, children expect more from their parents, employees expect more from employers, customers expect more from companies, and society expects more from government. People are becoming right-oriented rather than duty-oriented. They want more for less. They are very impatient and not willing to forgive any mistakes. In a nutshell, they want the best of everything in the world. For every problem, there will be multiple solutions. Hence, to meet the rising expectations of people, the solution lies with people only.

Roy H. Williams once remarked, “The first step in exceeding your customer's expectations is to know those expectations.” Hence, people must find out what others want. They must understand the changing tastes and temperaments of people. They must work hard constantly without inventing any excuses. They must come out their comfort zone and strive for excellence because what is acceptable and successful today might not be acceptable and successful tomorrow. Hence, they must learn, unlearn and relearn quickly to keep pace with the rising expectations of all stakeholders.

The world is very brutal with cut-throat competition. Only performers will survive while the rest will perish. Only sincere people will succeed in the world while the fake perish quickly. People must stretch constantly to stand out from others. They must network constantly with likeminded people and professionals to get updated regularly. Additionally, they must reinvent constantly.   

Loyalty is skin deep in the people. Previously there was loyalty to leaders. Unfortunately, it is missing and people stop revering leaders who fail to deliver their goods constantly. Whether it is CEOs, politicians, sportspersons, or film stars, the basic challenge remain the same. People praise leaders at one moment and criticize the very next moment when leaders don’t rise up to the challenges. Hence, it is very tough to persuade people.  To conclude, it is essential to do research to find out the expectations of the people and strive hard to reach out to them without resting on laurels.


“The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.” —Confucius
