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

Will You Follow Passion Or Profit? | 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

Follow your passion, profit will follow you. Work for a cause, not applause. Most leaders started following their passion and made it big. Passion was primary while profit was secondary for them. Most leaders served their societies because they were passionate about service. Subsequently, they earned applause. Service was primary and fame was secondary for them. For most entrepreneurs, passion was primary and profit was secondary. When you follow your passion and serve people with good intentions you will get good results. So, focus on passion, not profit.

For me, passion is more important than so-called profit. I struggled and suffered since my childhood having been born in a toxic family and grown up in a toxic environment. Right from childhood, I am passionate about education and learning, not about money. Hence, I could not earn money and I still belong to a lower-middle-class family. I did not compromise with my principles and philosophies resulting in more sufferings in my life. Additionally, I was betrayed by my rogue relatives.

As an educator and professor, I decided to share my knowledge freely with the world to groom students as global leaders. I enjoy doing it despite having several financial challenges. I enjoy following my passion, not profit. I served as a professor because of my passion to educate and shape students despite being underpaid. I write books despite being aware that it is a poorly paid profession. But I am passionate about writing.

Since I took voluntary retirement from Indian Air Force, I don't get a pension. So, I still struggle due to a lack of finance. I worked in private educational institutions that don't pay as per the guidelines and don't pay salaries properly. I am unemployed for almost six years without any regular flow of income. Still, I continue writing books despite no income. Coronavirus has worsened my financial condition. I am continuing my passion for writing and sharing knowledge despite several financial constraints with the hope that I will have a decent income to survive in the future.

Takeaway: Don't let passion take a backseat because of profit. Do what you feel good about. Contribute your expertise and knowledge to add value to the people around you. You are blessed with one life. Do what you are passionate about to avoid regrets on your deathbed.

"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it." ―Albert Einstein

What Legacy Are We Leaving Our Young? | Soft Leadership

People are born and dead. We don’t remember them. But we remember great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela for their contributions. They left their legacies for their next generations. So, they are remembered beyond their lifetime. What legacy are you going to leave to your next generation? How would you like to impact and inspire the world? What would you like to be remembered for?

Start now to create your leadership legacy. Draw a strategy how would you like to be remembered for. Trifurcate it into personal, professional, and social life. Think of how you can add value to others. Start serving your local communities. Don't take time for granted. Time goes by quickly. Utilize every moment to impact and inspire the world. Manage your time and lead your life carefully to leave your legacy. As parents leave their legacy for their children, they must leave their legacy to the world by making a difference globally.

What you give to your children will be forgotten soon but what you give to the world will be remembered forever beyond your lifetime. Be strategic and visionary. Share whatever you have. If you don't have wealth, share your time, knowledge, and abilities with the world. They create ripples. Here are some templates to consider and customize as per your passion and vision.

I want to be remembered as a visionary leader who shared knowledge freely with the world despite several financial constraints and challenges. I want to be remembered as an inspiring leader who acquired several qualifications despite being born in a toxic family and grown up in a toxic environment. I want to be remembered for leaving a legacy to my next generations by fighting against all odds throughout my life. I would like to be remembered as an unsung hero for making a difference in the global society.

Takeaway: Make the world better and safer for the next generations. Life is a gift from God. Leave your leadership legacy.
