“Keep Your Friends Close, Enemies Closer, And Frenemies The Closest.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Education
is a lifelong process. It is a great amplifier and accelerator. It must help us
learn to live sustainably. It must create curiosity and open the minds of students.
It must ignite the minds of the students and help them convert information into
knowledge.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Keep your
friends close and your enemies closer.” This quote is from multiple sources
including Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, and the Godfather movie. It indicates that you
can understand the motives and strategies of your enemies when you keep them
closer. It helps you counter their strategies and ensure your victory.
Having
people around you is essential. Having good friends is a great gift. As time
changes, the equations with friends change, priorities change, and interests
change. So, the relationships change. During this process, friends become
enemies and enemies become friends while some remain as frenemies. Life is all
about changing relationships. Relationships are dynamic.
Make
friendship with all. The right friends will make your life beautiful. They
guide and groom you as a leader while wrong friends teach you valuable lessons
in your life. Make friendships with all age groups to acquire various
perceptions about the world based on their experiences, expectations, and
aspirations. I interact with young people especially students and young people in the gym to
get ideas and insights from multiple sources.
You are all
aware of friends, and enemies. You must also be aware of frenemies who act like
friends but enemies in reality. It is tough to identify them. Even Julius
Caesar could not identify them. So, you can understand how challenging to
identify frenemies in your life. This world is full of various types of people.
You must be careful when you interact with frenemies.
In business
and politics, there are no permanent friends and enemies. There are only
permanent interests. When interests are hurt, the friends become enemies and
vice versa. Therefore, it is advisable not to share your strategic secrets and
not to get attached with others emotionally.
Takeaway: Keep your
friends close, enemies closer, and frenemies the closest to accomplish your
goals and objectives.

Make An Impact | The Ripple Effect Is Real
“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
In this post,
I share with you how to impact the world positively. When you wake up from your
bed, be grateful for what you have; and before you go the bed, express your
gratitude. During the day, add value to others. Give a smile to a stranger. A
smile is a small curve that sets everything alright. Encourage people around
you. Appreciate and inspire one person every day. Make people around you feel
important. People remember how you made them comfortable and special. Treat all
people equally irrespective of their rank and position. Life is a gift from
God.
Mother
Teresa said, "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone
across the water to create many ripples." The ripple effect is also known
as the domino effect and butterfly effect. It gives compound returns. Cast a
stone. When you do good, you get good in compound returns. It is a ripple
effect. Many unsung heroes and heroines are creating ripples globally. Although
their efforts are unrecognized, they are happy with what they have done for
their societies. They work for a cause, not applause. During the coronavirus,
the essential care workers worked hard, saved the lives of the people and made
a difference globally. They are the true soldiers and leaders who cast their
stones across the water and created ripples globally. I salute them. Let us all
contribute our best to create ripples globally to build a compassionate world.
Take up a
noble idea. Create your vision. Lead by character. Lead by example. Lead from
the front. Be in the front line. Communicate clearly. Keep people before the
profit. Build your credibility. Contribute your best. Leave your leadership
legacy.
The Ripple Effect Is Real
Each one has
a unique journey in life. It is not what you achieve but how you impact and
inspire the world matters at the end of the day. Don't try to impress people
but to inspire people. The impression is short-term while the impact is
long-term. Don't just live for today. Live beyond your lifetime. Try to
influence, impact and inspire others to leave your legacy.
“The
leader’s main job is to make themselves obsolete.” ―Lao Tzu
