“Be
passionate, persistent, and patient. There is nothing like an overnight
success. Work hard, wise, and smart to stand out from others. I failed many
times in my life. I fail every day. But I don't have any regrets because I
learn lessons and move on with valuable takeaways.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
I
often tell my students that there is no free lunch in this world. I rose from
humble origins with a toxic family background. When I was 18 years old, I dropped
out of college to support my family and joined the Indian Air Force. I had to
struggle hard to earn my livelihood. I sacrificed my personal time, invested a
portion of my monthly salary and resources, and acquired several qualifications
including DME, BSc, MA, MBA, PGDCLL, and PGDBM. I earned my Ph.D. in 2011. I
understand the pain of life. I am a self-made man. I have come to know that
nothing is free in this world.
The
government often says it offers certain things free to its citizens. But the
fact is that people pay by way of taxes. That is the reality. The concept of
things are free is a myth indeed!
You
rarely get things on a platter. There is no free lunch in the world. Nothing is
free. 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. To conclude, nothing
is free. You pay for it.
