Professor M.S. Rao’s Legacy Statement: Sharing Knowledge Freely with One Billion People Globally―Share if You Care!




"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and saw that service is a joy." —Khalil Gibran


I crafted a vision to build one million students as global leaders by 2030 URL: http://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.in/2014/12/professor-m-s-raos-vision-2030-one_31.html because I am passionate about students and leadership. I also have a vision to share knowledge freely with one billion people globally. Life is short and I must do something for global society before I depart this world. I have only knowledge, not material wealth. So, I have been sharing my knowledge freely with the world through my blogs and LinkedIn since 2007. I get immense pleasure through it although I don’t earn any money. I still do it despite financial constraints and without any regular flow of income for the last five years.

Although I am below average in intelligence I am blessed with curiosity and imagination. I used my imagination to create vision to share my knowledge. I have created the following vision statement:
My vision is to build one million students as global leaders.
My vision is to help students unleash their hidden potential.
My vision is to help students succeed in every area of their lives and to accomplish their dreams. 
My vision is to help unsuccessful students become successful students.
My vision is to help successful students become even more successful students.
My vision is to inspire students to dream big and achieve big.
My vision is to share knowledge freely with one billion people globally.
My vision is to pioneer for global peace, prosperity, stability, and security.


Conclusion

"I shall pass this way but once. Therefore any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now for I shall not pass this way again." —William Penn  

People are born and dead but we remember only a few great leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela for adding value to the society with their service. For them, to serve is to lead. Therefore, add value within your available resources to make a difference and build a better world.


"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with great vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” ―Woodrow Wilson

“Activity Doesn’t Equal Achievement” ― Share if You Care!




“Never mistake activity for achievement.” —John Wooden


Some people work hard but don’t achieve the desired outcomes. They work hard without taking feedback. They keep themselves busy throughout the day without any takeaways. It seems something is wrong somewhere. In this blog post, we will discuss working hard meaningfully which is otherwise known as working smart to accomplish your goals and objectives.


Learn when to Hold and Fold

“If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.” —Karl Von Clausewitz

People must learn when to hold and fold in life. They must fix some timeframe or deadline to execute their tasks. If there is no positive outcome, they must exit by learning lessons and move on towards other tasks. There is no sense in chasing too many rabbits. There is no sense in swimming against the current. In my personal life, I did business for more than a decade. I could not achieve positive results. I gave up business and explored teaching. I enjoyed teaching students because I inspired and shaped them as global leaders. After a few years, I became a fulltime author when I lost my employment. I authored 48 books including the bestseller ‘See the Light in You.’ https://www.amazon.com/See-Light-You-Spiritual-Mindfulness/dp/1949003132  Unfortunately, I could not create adequate income to sustain from books. Now I am thinking to shift some other area where I can earn money to sustain my family.


Emphasize more on Achievements and less on Actions

“If you want to feel secure, do what you already know how to do. If you want to be a true professional and continue to grow... Go to the cutting edge of your competency, which means a temporary loss of security. So whenever you don't quite know what you're doing, know you're growing.” ―Madeline Hunter

When we look at Nobel Laureates, they worked hard for several years to accomplish their goals. They emphasized on quality, not quantity. Most people who aspired for Nobel Prizes died as unsung heroes and heroines. So, we cannot conclude that focusing on one area gives us success. Life is a game and risk. Hence, we must take the risk and focus on one area religiously forever to achieve the desired outcomes. At the same time, we must understand the difference between busyness and productiveness.

People judge you based on your achievements, not actions. So, ensure that your actions lead to achievements occasionally, if not frequently to move forward in your life. To conclude, work smart, not hard to achieve big in your life.


“The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.” ―Ferdinand Foch

How do You Turn an Enemy into a Friend? ― Share if You Care!






The title of this blog appears impossible right!  Abraham Lincoln is my inspiration since my childhood. It is a coincidence that I also encountered several failures in my life since childhood. Additionally, I have been struggling since my childhood for my survival and success. I am optimistic that one day will be my day when I will be remembered for my contributions globally. When I was reading a book recently, I came across Lincoln’s quote of destroying enemies. So, to experiment, I phoned one of my friends who became my enemy for the last 5 years. We stopped our communication due to some reasons. Initially, he was not receptive to my telephone call. I called him many times to talk to him over the phone. Finally, he attended my telephone call. I began recalling our childhood where we studied and traveled together for more than four decades. He was slightly moved with our childhood memories and opened up gradually. I dedicated a book to him in the past but I never informed him about it. I wanted to gift the book to him at an appropriate time. I decided to blog on this topic to enable the readers to take away something.


Tools to Convert Enemies into Friends

If there is any miscommunication, talk straight to clear it. Identify if anybody involved in the miscommunication. Clear everything when you want to build the bridges. To maintain healthy relations, always verify the facts before jumping into conclusions. If you feel that you have made a mistake, apologize sincerely. We, humans, are emotional animals and get carried away by emotions rather than logic. So, check your emotions, think logically where things went wrong to connect with enemies. Remember that emotions can be used for both positive and negative things. Here are some tools to convert your enemies into friends. Don’t talk about the unpleasant past. Emphasize recalling positive aspects of life. Remind the past highlighting the sweet memories. The best way to visit the past is to talk to your friends about your past pleasant life. Be a giver. Don’t expect anything from your friends. Talk about their parents and the present challenges. Remind how life has transformed quickly. Bond with him. Talk about the rapid changes in society and the value system that has changed. Remind how the technology connected people although people live in long distant areas. Emphasize commonalities, ignore differences. Express your gratitude. Be thankful for the great things done to you. Look at the door that is opened, not the closed one.


Conclusion

Remember that the past cannot be brought back and the future cannot be predicted. So, learn to live in the present. Enjoy the journey of your life. Nobody knows what happens next. Life is a gift. You can never travel the same path twice. So, convert your enemies into friends by forgetting the unpleasant past and forgiving the mistakes. Remember that we all make mistakes in life. Nobody is perfect. To conclude, make your life great by converting your enemies into friends.
