Happy Thanksgiving Day! Emphasize Mental Health—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” —Mahatma Gandhi
Nowadays, people give so much importance to materialistic considerations rather than to health. They earn a lot but unfortunately, they shell out a lot for medical expenses. Besides, they don't enjoy a blissful life due to health complications although they have a lot of money. They are subject to fatigue and mental tension. When people focus too much on materialistic and worldly pleasures they tend to neglect their health. As a result, they suffer in the end. For instance, the pop star, Michael Jackson had a lot of wealth but unfortunately, he had poor health and it cost his life. A few celebrities suffer from several health complications despite being blessed with a lot of wealth. In this context, given below are a few tips for maintaining good health.
Tips for Good Health
“The first wealth is health.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hit the gym regularly. Regular exercise enhances life expectancy and longevity and keeps agile and active.
Involve in physical activities wherever it is possible. Prefer to climb stairs rather than to escalators or elevators.
Avoid alcoholism. Excessive drinking is always unhealthy.
If you lead a sedentary lifestyle then it is time you need to exercise your body. Those who work with computer systems should take breaks at regular intervals of time and walk around to lift their energy levels.
Go for swimming regularly as the entire body gets worked out during swimming resulting in overall physical fitness.
Drink a lot of water as it energies the body and hydrates the system.
Always eat nutritious food, especially fruits, and salads. Avoid junk food. And also oily and fatty food.
Consume a diet that is rich in carbohydrates just before and after a heavy workout for better health.
Take food at regular intervals of time for better digestion.
Go either for yoga or meditation.
Go to a serene place and spend time as solitude is fortitude.
Say no to drugs and tobacco.
Go to bed at a regular time every day.
Go for regular medical check-ups.
Never brood over the unpleasant past as it not only disturbs peace of mind but also wastes time.
Go for a stroll with family members once in a while as it promotes better understanding among the family members as well as relaxes your mind.
Taking good care of your health could be challenging, but it is important. It may be difficult to make it a priority, especially when you have a busy schedule, but start by adopting small changes every day.
Although technology has brought several comforts to mankind it has also brought out several health hazards. Life has become highly challenging with a lot of uncertainty and complexity. People should realize the importance of health and spend some time daily on health-oriented activities. Spending time on regular fitness should not be treated as an expense but rather an investment. You can achieve anything and everything if your health is good. To sum up, health is more important than wealth.
"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." —Arabian Proverb

Happy Thanksgiving Day!—When You Give the Universe, the Universe Gives You Back—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru
“Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” —Zig Ziglar
Gratitude is widely discussed globally in the wake of COVID-19. People have realized that life is short and can be cut short at any time due to the coronavirus pandemic. They started focusing on gratitude. They started doing meditation and offering prayers. Some people concentrated on nonprofits to add value to their communities and societies. Although the pandemic has become a threat to humans it has opened the eyes of the people globally. It has humbled humans and helped emphasize humanity and hope. People started expressing their gratitude to others.
Advantages of Gratitude
“Gratitude is a long game. It is the way you win the hearts and souls of the people. The best leaders do it occasionally. The great leaders do it every time.” ―Chester Elton
Gratitude improves your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies. It builds healthy relationships in your personal, professional, and social life. Healthy people practice gratitude. They appreciate things around them.
When you have an attitude of gratitude, you break barriers and build bridges with others. You will be appreciated and applauded by others. Your self-esteem and self-confidence increase. You believe in the power of positivity. You see the light, not the darkness. You stop criticizing, complaining, and condemning others. You improve your personality, attitude, and behavior and excel as a leader.
When you express your gratitude, you appreciate the things around you. The anxiety and depression come down. So, write a gratitude journal every day for 15 minutes before going to your bed. Avoid negative sentences and use positive sentences to achieve a positive outcome. Mention three things are you grateful to God. You get sound sleep and wake up the next day morning with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Additionally, you build tenacity and resilience.
Serve Your Communities and Societies
“Life doesn't just happen to you; you receive everything in your life based on what you've given.” ―Rhonda Byrne
When you volunteer you improve your well-being and improve your attitude of gratitude. Therefore, join nonprofits and become a volunteer to serve others. Add value to your communities and societies. Make a difference in their lives.
Behind the success of every person, there is someone who laid the ladder for their success. Nobody can do it alone. Some people are responsible for the success of the person. In my case, my students admired me immensely because I have been sharing my knowledge with them freely on social media platforms for many years. Likewise, there are people behind the success of great people. They must be thankful for others. They must express their gratitude to others.
During the global lockdown, I phoned my friends who have connected with me for the last 43 years and shared my ideas, insights, experiences, and challenges. I thanked some of them for their friendship and support. I converted the lockdown as an opportunity to reconnect with my friends and renew relationships. So, learn to utilize your personal time to connect with your friends and relatives to thank and strengthen your relationships.
Inculcate the Attitude of Gratitude
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson
Gratitude indeed gets gratitude. The more you give, the more you get. The more you give it to the universe, the more you get from the universe. Therefore, develop an attitude of gratitude. Express it with others. There is less competition for givers. So, be a giver, not a taker in life, and add value to others.
"Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them." ―Rhonda Byrne

Property Dispute Resolution—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru
“Be leery of silence. It doesn't mean you won the argument. Often, people are just busy reloading their guns.” ―Shannon L. Alder
Disputes are common in families and friends. They are expected in their personal, professional, and social lives. What is expected is to demonstrate composure and maturity to think through coolly to search solutions for the disputes. In this regard, we will discuss resolving disputes privately in a dignified manner to leave a mark for others to follow.
Settle Disputes Privately
“No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.” ―Spinoza
Parents must distribute wealth to their children before relationships go sour. It helps keep families intact to leave a better legacy. Some parents are indecisive resulting in litigations in children. So, observe the following tips to settle disputes privately. Understand the issue clearly. Set SMART goals. Be tough-minded but tender at heart. Be flexible to give away something to take something in return. Empathize with others. Listen to all sources but make your own decision based on your head, heart, gut, and intuition. Strive for a win-win outcome. After resolving the dispute avoid discussing it with others to enable the other person to live with dignity and honor.
A Take-Home Message
“Sometimes you have to let others tell their story about you...even if most of it is fabricated. Your character will tell your side without any words spoken. Do your best to vibrate high even in the midst of a shit storm.” ―Sanjo Jendayi
Don’t get provoked by others. Emphasize ethics and etiquette to win your argument. Avoid hitting below the belt to enable your opponents to remember your principles and philosophies. Life is short. Why should we make it sour? Let us make it sweet by settling disputes privately through discussion and dialogue. Life is great.
“Ultimately all kinds of fights end at forgiveness.” ―Amit Kalantri

Embrace Change to Lead from the Front—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru
"People support a world they help create and support a process that helps them succeed." —Dale Carnegie.
Change is the thing everyone is scared of. When we talk about changing our clothes, foods, and lifestyles we get excited. However, when we are asked to change place of location, nature of work, or if there are changes in roles and responsibilities and policies and procedures, we get tense. Why is it so? Does it not sound contradictory? But it is a fact that people resist change. We shall find out the same from the perspective of Dale Carnegie.
Dale Carnegie stated of six kinds of fears people have to overcome. They are 'fear of criticism', 'fear of failure', 'fear of old age', 'fear of poverty', 'fear of ill health', and finally 'fear of death'. In the context of change, it is the 'fear of failure' and 'fear of criticism' that are the obstacles to embracing change. The people at the workplace are scared of embracing change as the results of change are unpredictable and they doubt about the capability and competency in effecting the change. At times the loss of authority, fear of losing a job, and fear of coming out of the comfort zone make the change process complicated.
The fear of change is worse than the real change. When the real change takes place, people gradually overcome their apprehensions provided there is a strong and visionary leadership that guides the change process.
Everyone talks of change and everyone knows that change pays off well. Everyone admits that change is the only constant thing in the world. Yet, people resist change. Is it because change is painful and stressful? The fact is that change is always helpful. If there had been no change, humankind would have remained in the Stone Age only. Therefore, let us mentally prepare to shed the old outdated practices and procedures and wed new ones that lead to all-around peace and prosperity. To conclude in the words of Benjamin Disraeli, "Change is inevitable in a progressive society. Change is constant."

Do You Believe in Luck?—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru
"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
When I was doing work out at the gymnasium, a young man approached and asked me a question, "Dear Professor! People often say 'Do your duty but don't look for rewards'. Don’t you think it is a contradictory statement as we work only for results? Could you explain?” I smiled and said as follows:
I complimented them for asking a good question and probably many youth may have this query in their minds. Lord Krishna said, "Action is the duty reward is not thy concern." That means man has to put in his efforts consistently without focusing too much on results as focusing too much on results diverts his mind from putting in efforts. Man gets discouraged when encounters failures as he is more concerned about results than efforts. Besides, for some people success comes early while for some people success comes late. Hence, our duty as human beings is to put in effort regularly without getting unduly worried about success. When I explained in this way the young man smiled and said, "Thank you Professor for clearing my long overdue query."
People often talk about 'luck' when someone achieves something. They ignore the hard work put in by the successful individual. The truth is that two forces govern any individual. First is internal force and second is external force. Man has to put in his best efforts to achieve the desired goals and objectives. However, external forces often hinder in achieving success. When external forces favor, man can reach his tipping point. That external force is nothing but 'luck'. However, if you don't work hard and achieve success due to the favorable so-called external forces such as 'luck' your success will not last long enough. Hence, keep doing your best without looking for results and returns, and, over some time success will touch your toes. Here is a caution! The higher you achieve higher the humility you must possess otherwise success doesn't have any meaning.
Good luck and keep putting in your efforts!
