Be Yourself | See the Light in You | Mindfulness | Professor M.S. Rao
“See the
light in you. Your life is in your hands. Enjoy every moment by looking at the
positive aspects. Build a new foundation with the bricks thrown at you. Turn
your scars into stars. Life is great.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
People often
compare with successful people and get dejected and depressed when they fail to
achieve success in their lives. They assume that they are inferior to successful
people. They hardly understand the challenges the successful people encountered
to touch their tipping points. It is advisable not to compare with others
especially with successful people. We are different, our attitudes are
different, and our looks are different. The problem arises when we want to live
like somebody. Why do you want to become like somebody and insult God?
Progress takes
its own time. Progress happens at its own pace. Some people achieve success
early, some people achieve success in middle age, some people achieve success
in the old, and some people die as unsung heroes and heroines. Everything
happens for a reason.
How to Excel as an Extraordinary?
Everyone
wants to be extraordinary in the world. When you look at extraordinary
individuals including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Richard Branson, they
never wanted to be someone. Then why do you want to be like someone? Don’t
search for stones by leaving gems at home. You are a hidden gem. Understand
this fact and lead your life meaningfully and mindfully.
Everyone is
gifted with a unique mindset, skillset, and toolset. Identify your gifts and
leverage them effectively to accomplish your goals and objectives. It is a
waste of your precious time, money, energy, and resources to imitate others and
explore their areas. Understand this fact to stand out from others to leave
your mark.
Learn from
others but don’t compare with them. Take successful people as inspiration but
don't compare with them. Remember, you are destined to achieve something
unique. Who wins at the end of the race matters not who leads at the beginning
or the middle of the race. So, keep doing your best without comparing yourself
with others. Compete with yourself.
Raise your bar. Follow your passion and go by the road less traveled to
achieve excellence and excel as an extraordinary. Invest your efforts,
energies, resources, and time productively and consistently. Set a goal, work hard regularly, and
contribute consistently to grow in your life. Enjoy every moment of your life
without losing focus on your destination.
Every dog
has its day. God gives opportunities for all. It is a matter of time. Therefore,
be prepared to rise to the occasion by converting your threats into
opportunities and brickbats into bouquets.
Be a Trailblazer
Be a
trendsetter, not a trend follower. You are a gift from God. You are unique in
this world. Follow the unique path. Lead your life mindfully and meaningfully. Life
is great.
“Don’t
compare your growth with others. When a sunflower blossoms, it just blossoms.
It doesn’t look around to see if the others have blossomed. It is very personal
and very individual. The lesson is not to judge, compete or compare and move
ahead.” ―Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

See the Light in You | Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom | Professor M.S. Rao
“You rarely
get things on a platter. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Everything
comes at a cost. You must work hard, work smart, and work wisely to establish
yourself and achieve success. If anything comes easily, it goes away easily.
So, work hard to succeed in your life.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
Everyone has
a hidden story. Every successful person has an internal struggle that is unknown
to others. Everything comes at a price. The price is full of struggles,
sufferings, and sacrifices. Ordinary individuals are often carried away by
successful people that the latter had an easy, rosy, and lucky life. Luck has a
limited role to play to achieve success.
I have my
own story. I was born into a toxic family and grew up in a toxic environment.
My mother is a naysayer and complainer and my father was an alcoholic and
litigant. I came out of my toxic family after I joined the Indian Air Force
when I was 18 years old. It was a blessing in disguise.
Life is full
of challenges. It is full of highs and lows. You must be prepared to overcome
challenges with confidence and optimism. You interact with different types of
people. Some appreciate you while some insult you. You must take them in your
stride and move on with valuable takeaways. People ignore you when you fail in your
life. You must understand their true intentions and move forward. Your life is
in your hands.
Tips to Turn Your Scars into Stars
You
understand the value of pleasure only when you undergo pain. You understand the
value of friends when you have bitter experiences with foes. Let go of your
unpleasant past. Forgive and forget the unpleasant people. Thank them for
teaching your valuable lessons. Don’t carry emotional baggage. Here are some
tips to turn your scars into stars. Be positive. Replace your negative talk
with positive talk. Follow your passions. Lead your life mindfully and
meaningfully. Come out stronger from each challenge. Let bygones be bygones.
Live in the present. Do the things that excite you. Become a volunteer. Add value
to others. Make a difference in their lives.
Conclusion
Life is not
a cakewalk. Enjoy every moment by looking at the positive aspects. Build a new
foundation with the bricks thrown at you. Life is in your hands. See the light
in you. Turn your scars into stars. Life is great.

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam | The Whole World is One Family | Professor M.S. Rao
“Hatred
doesn’t have any place in the world. Love is the only way to connect with the
world. Love breaks all barriers including political, social, cultural,
religious, racial, and national. We are all the branches of one tree. The root
is one. The world is our root; branches are the nations; and leaves are the
people. Let us appreciate the fact that we all have originated from one place
and we all belong to one family. The whole world is one family (Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam).” ― Professor M.S.Rao
People from
different nations fight against each other and attack personally which is
uncalled for. For instance, Indians often accuse Pakistanis and Pakistanis
often accuse Indians especially when there is a cricket match between these two
countries which is not healthy. Treat sport as a sport and enjoy it. Both
Indians and Pakistanis are brothers and sisters separated by a border. They
lived together for many years with fraternity and brotherhood. Let us forget
the unpleasant past and move forward with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Above-average
individuals think about the long-term, average individuals think about the
short-term, and below-average individuals think about the unpleasant past. Let
us become smarter and wiser by looking at the similarities and ignoring
differences. As life is not perfect, people are not perfect and nations are not
perfect. We are living in an imperfect world. Let us understand this fact and
learn to live with the realities.
We are one
family. God is one but religions are many. The planet is one but nations are
many. Gold is one but ornaments are many.
Milk is one but cows are many. Water is one but rivers are many. Blood
is one color but people are many with different colors. We are all brothers and
sisters.
Every nation
has strengths and weaknesses. You must take the best from each nation. Look at
the similarities, not the differences to create one global society. Emphasize
humanity.
Takeaway: We are on
this planet temporarily. So let us live with fraternity and brotherhood to
build a better world.

Life Lessons From Older People | Leadership Lessons | Professor M.S. Rao
“The good
leaders do the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas the great leaders
do the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes.”
―Professor M.S. Rao
There are
several lessons young people can learn from older people especially millennials
and centennials. Older people have vast experience and understand life better
than others. They have both positive and negative experiences. You must pay attention
to older people to become smarter and wiser.
I researched
older people and found certain aspects. They are optimistic. They led a happy
life. They are blessed with many things. They are lucky people. They hardly
have any regrets. They keep up with changing times and technologies. They have
fond memories.
Here are
some lessons we can learn from older people.
Take risk. Go out and do something. Be independent and confident. Beware
of the person who has nothing to lose. Miracles happen every day. Avoid sharing
secrets with others. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
Maintain a journal. Respect people around based on referent power, not
positional power. Add value to society. Respect people irrespective of their
rank and position. 80 percent of the success in any job is based on your soft
skills while 20 percent on your hard skills. Don't expect life to be fair. Life
is complex. So, make it simple. Celebrate your successes. Choose your spouse
carefully. Experience new things and enjoy your life.
Takeaway: Age is just
a number to achieve success. Learn lessons from older people to minimize
mistakes and maximize success to lead your life with purpose and meaning.
"Try to
listen to your elders and parents when you are young — remember that they only
want the best for you." —David H

What To Look For In A Life Partner? | Relationships | Professor M.S. Rao
“Life is
meant for learning, enjoying, and growing, not for litigating.” ―Professor M.S.
Rao
When I was
working out in the gym a young man approached and informed me with excitement that
he was planning to get married. He asked me how to choose a life partner and
asked me to advise how to ensure a happy married life. I advised him as
follows.
Choosing the
right partner is essential to ensure longevity in married life. Choose the partner
based on compatibility and chemistry. Look for character, not color. Look for
attitude, not appearance. Don’t look for money and status because they are
dynamic and can change at any time.
When you
love a person you get trapped but later you realize that there is no
compatibility. You regret your mistake. So, you must be careful while choosing
your partner. Ask a few questions before marriage to avoid ending up with
disappointment and divorce. Check the alignment of your dreams and ambitions.
Find out the plans to check whether they are aligned with you. Check for compatibility in financial goals. Proceed
if you are persuaded with positive responses from your prospective partner.
After
marriage, treat her with respect. Love her. Care for her. Empathize with her.
Don’t take her for granted. Spend time with her. Communicate carefully. Ensure
physical intimacy. Have sex regularly. You cannot be the same as your partner
but you must create a common ground. Look for similarities, not differences. Be
each other's best friend. Accept the fact that your partner is not perfect. It
requires a lot of hard work and sacrifices to maintain your marriage life
intact and make it successful.
When you
have a perfect partner, you can live in harmony and happiness. So, create a
conducive environment at home. This is
the finest remedy for all illnesses. Be patient, loving, and caring. Enjoy the
process. If things go too extreme adversely, explore the option of divorcing to
avoid further complications. Learn to lead a happy and independent life after
divorce.
Your
siblings may go away. Your in-laws may go away. Your parents may go away. Your
children may go away. But it is your spouse who will be with you throughout
your life. Keep this in your mind and lead your life carefully and mindfully.
Takeaway: Follow
these tips to live a happy married life. A relationship is not about you or your
partner. It is between you. Remember that a long-lasting relationship is about
friendship, deep bonding, and compatibility.

Life Is Not A Race! | A Life Lesson From Professor M.S. Rao
“If someone
asks me a question, ‘What is it you see when you look out the window that is
visible but not yet seen by others’ I will answer, ‘I see a world filled with
people with a huge potential lying untapped. If I can identify their strengths
and inspire them to unlock their potential, I feel that I have made a
difference in the world.’” —Professor M.S. Rao
We are
caught up in a cutthroat competitive world where we compete with others ruthlessly
to stay ahead of the life race without understanding the consequences and
repercussions.
You must
take a pause and reflect on yourself to lead your life with purpose and
meaning. There is no sense in getting into the rat race neglecting our relations
and the people around us. Enjoy each moment. Every one of you is a unique
being. If you are an employer, ensure work-life integration. If you are an
employee, emphasize work-life balance. There is growing mental illness and
depression globally because of the rat race. It is essential to end this rat
race to lead your life mindfully and meaningfully.
Social media
has thrown both challenges and opportunities where people often compare with
others without understanding others' challenges. Social media users often
present their rosy pictures. People don't understand it. Some of the so-called
spiritual gurus and guides on social media are failures in their personal
lives. Finally, they became spiritual guides and gurus. So don't compare with
them. Don't compete with others. Only compete with yourself and raise your bar
constantly.
We are into
a goal-oriented society. It is essential to be process-oriented, not
goal-oriented to enjoy life. Focus more
on the process, and less on the goals. When you reach your goals, you lose your
enthusiasm. So enjoy the process to reach your goal. Reset your goals. Enjoy
your journey, not your destination. Be a karma yogi.
When
everyone wants to cross the finish line first, then the problem starts. Ensure
that you cross the finish line at your own pace. Collaboration rather than
competition is essential. There is more meaning in collaboration rather than in
competition.
Takeaway: Start every
day on a clean slate. Life is a gift from God. Enjoy adding value to yourself
and others. Don't convert your entire life into a race. Compete with yourself,
not with others to lead your life with purpose and meaning. Life is not a race,
a journey. Enjoy the journey to lead your life meaningfully and mindfully.
“Life is not
a race but a pace we need to maintain with reality.” ―Amit Abraham
