There Are No Disappointments In Life, Only Experiments
"You
can learn a lot from suffering. Remember, in the ash of suffering a phoenix can
be born." ―Professor M.S. Rao
When
you fail in accomplishing your aspirations and expectations you get
disappointed. Disappointments are quite common in life. You must know how to
deal with them effectively. When you have long-term goals, you don't bother for
disappointments. Everything happens for a reason. I failed many times in my
life. I was rejected many times. Harvard rejected my application for a
postdoctoral course in 2016. I was unmoved. I keep moving forward. Life is
never a straight line. It is full of peaks and valleys. Take feedback. Get back
to action. Identify the barriers and remove them. Explore options to fulfill
your expectations and aspirations. Set realistic goals and objectives. Don't
give up. Be consistent in your efforts. Be persistent. It is not intelligent
but the persistent will succeed in the end.
Disappointments
are temporary. Understand what you can control and what you cannot control. Focus
on what you can control in life. Life is a journey. It is full of good times
and bad times. Don’t get excited when you accomplish your goals and don’t get
dejected when you encounter failures. Stay level headed.
My
life is full of setbacks, disappointments, and failures. When you want to
achieve big, you encounter lots of disappointments. It is great news because
your dreams are bigger, your goals are bigger and your courage is higher. So,
don't treat them as disappointments. Treat them as experiments. Try again.
Takeaway: Treat
disappointments as learning experiences. There are only experiments, no
disappointments.
“There
are no disappointments in life, only experiments.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

Stop Being Too Nice To People
“Nothing
is greater than serving others with a great heart. We live in a world where
there is a huge competition for takers and the least competition for givers.
So, be a giver and serve your societies and communities to build a better
world.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
Being
kind and helping others is a positive sign. But there is a limit to this. Don't
become a people pleaser. If you are too nice to people you will be taken for
granted. You may be exploited by people. So, understand the difference between pleasing
people and serving the people. Don’t apologize when you are not guilty.
Being
too nice is often treated as weakness the way some people treat compassion as a
weakness. When you are too nice, people ridicule you and take you for granted.
You won’t earn respect from some people.
Being
too nice may lead to stress and burnout because you want to please people. Here
are some tips to lead a mindful life. Be assertive. Set boundaries. Strike a
balance. Draw the line. Emphasize win-win. Overcome your insecurities. Boost
your self-esteem. Don't crave validation and recognition from people who lack
credibility.
Helping
others is a sign of a caring and compassionate person. So, don’t compromise
your compassion with users and manipulators. Remember, being generous is good
being overgenerous is often treated as a sign of weakness. Be a giver but be
cautious of users and manipulators.
Takeaway:
Be nice. Don't be too nice to people to avoid being misunderstood by
others and prevent you from being used by manipulators.
