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
