Free Upcoming Memoir “Survivor: Turn Your Scars Into Stars”—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


 

Dear friends,


Craft a captivating memoir that resonates with readers. Conduct research, organize your ideas, create a synopsis, and elaborate on it. Introduce themes of conflict, adversity, resilience, betrayal, storytelling, climax, and hope. Avoid preaching. Illustrate how you transformed your life in the present tense. Allow your story to enchant you while you engage your audience. Share vivid, emotional, and poignant experiences. Present relatable and inspiring tales that leave a lasting impact.” ―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


I am excited to share with you that I authored a memoir titled "Survivor: Turn Your Scars Into Stars." I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts about this memoir on social media channels, including Meta, X, and LinkedIn.


People often blame the mud around them. When you view it positively, lotus blossoms from the mud. Great people rose from the mud of toxic families and toxic relationships because they did not blame their families and circumstances. Instead, they created their destinies with their hard work and left their legacies.



Covert Your Scars into Stars


I didn't have a sort of happy childhood. My childhood was chaotic and I was lucky that I joined the Indian Air Force (IAF) on 04 Feb 1982 and grew as a healthy citizen. I owe IAF a lot. I served in the lowest rank of a corporal for 12 years.


Understand the fact that the world respects only achievers, not failures. Remember that nobody can achieve greatness without facing failures, insults, and humiliations.


I was born in a toxic family and grew up in a toxic environment. My childhood was painful with suffering and struggles. I was passionate about reading and acquiring qualifications but I was a dyslexic with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). I was a below-average student. I did not enjoy convent education. I used to go to substandard schools and assisted my father after school time in his tea stall—sometimes collecting cash, sometimes making tea, and sometimes cleaning dishes left by the customers. So, I could not enjoy my childhood with my passions and sports. God was kind to me and showed me the path to joining the Indian Air Force (IAF) when I was 18 years old. That was the place where I started to grow as a positive and healthy individual eating well, exercising well, studying well, and receiving a little payment every month. When I joined IAF I was not even a graduate. However, I continued my education and acquired several qualifications by working hard in service and sacrificing my leisure time and holidays to pursue education through correspondence courses. I earned, my DME, BSc, MA, PGDCLL, PGDBM, and MBA while serving in the Indian Air Force, and finally earned my Ph.D. in 2011. I did a business that did not work and ended up with financial challenges. My wife, two sons and I have been undergoing financial challenges for the last 18 years. We lived in a single-bedroom flat and slept on the floor without a cot for a decade. My life has been painful. I was cheated by my siblings and rogue relatives. But God has been kind to me by holding my hands and showing me the right path to share my knowledge freely with the world and serve others.



Rise from the Ashes Like a Phoenix


Great leaders rose from several struggles and sufferings. They overcame several challenges. They were often written off by others. Critics thought that these great leaders were finished. But they bounced back. They proved their critics wrong. They rose from ashes like the phoenix.


You will come out of the troubles and rubbles. Therefore, fight back. Fight to the finish. Take your battle to your logical end. Prove your critics wrong. Prove your backstabbers wrong that you are not finished. You are down temporarily, not out permanently.


Life is never a straight line. Covert your scars into stars. Every fall has a rise. Rise like a phoenix. Life is great.



My Life Has Been a Bed of Thorns Since Childhood


I rose from humble origins. I belong to a lower-middle-class family. I still have financial challenges and struggle even today due to a lack of income from my books and training programs. But I am passionate about writing books and sharing my knowledge freely with the world.


Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”: “I am 62 years old, and a survivor of a brain stroke in 2021. I was not blessed with a luxurious childhood. Besides, I was born into a toxic family and grew up in a toxic environment. My life is full of struggles and suffering. I have mental, physical, and financial challenges. I don’t get any pension and regular income.”

Are You A Pygmalion Professor?—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


 


"Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be."—Goethe.


The term Pygmalion has its origin where a sculptor by the name of Pygmalion who fell in love with a female statue he had carved out of ivory. Pygmalion was a Cyprus king who crafted several statues. However, he did not like them. When he created an ivory statue of a beautiful woman, Galatea (means sleeping love) he finally fell in love with her. The statue was so amazing that Pygmalion became mad at her and prayed to Aphrodite to give life to the statue. Ultimately Pygmalion was blessed and the beautiful woman breathed life.


From this Greek mythological story, it becomes clear that when you expect more out of others you get more out of them. For instance, when parents expect a lot from their children, the children will live up to their expectations. Similarly, in the workplace when superiors expect more out of their subordinates, they will get the best out of them. Precisely, your outcome is directly proportional to your expectations and aspirations. The term Pygmalion is also associated with Professor Higgins who treated Eliza Doolittle, the heroine as a flower girl in George Bernard Shah’s play ‘Pygmalion’



Importance of Pygmalion Effect


The importance of the Pygmalion effect is manifold in this current complex world. At a time when there is cut-throat competition due to rapid changes in technology, we need to look for innovative ideas and solutions to stay ahead of others. The Pygmalion effect helps lift performance levels in all walks of life. As human potential is unlimited, we can adopt this effect to unlock human potential for ensuring all-round progress and success.


If you expect more you get more is the slogan of the Pygmalion effect. As success is won twice; first in your real life and then in your real life, your outcome depends on your earnest efforts. If you think good, good things will happen; and if you dream big, you become big. Similarly, if your love is true you will succeed in love. When you really love someone and miss then you will get back if you have a Pygmalion mindset.



Are You a Pygmalion Professor?


You may be surprised when I coined the concept of Pygmalion Professor! Pygmalion Professor is the one who counsels, crafts, mentors, and molds students. He helps students tap and realize their potential by encouraging and expecting the best out of them.


If the educators are passionate they can convert dull students into bright students. If they have command in their subject and if their commitment is strong they can arouse interest among the students and influence and impact them. Educator is like a violinist and students are like violins. As a violinist can generate various types of sounds the educators can also generate various techniques to share their knowledge for creating enlightened students.


When you teach with great intentions and passion, you will get a positive response from your students. A good educator must be a Pygmalion Professor at heart as s/he expects and strives for the best out of students. If a professor is passionate s/he can get the best out of students. Pygmalion Professor creates bright students. However, here is a caution! Like the mythological sculptor Pygmalion, the Pygmalion Professor should not fall in love personally with students but must fall in love professionally in developing and grooming students as successful personalities.



A Take-Home Message


The Pygmalion effect is useful in many walks of life. When you lead at home, it is essential; when you lead people at the workplace, you need to demonstrate; when you love someone, you need to adapt. As the saying goes, 'As you sow, so you reap', if you praise your people you get the best out of them. It is like an echo. When you shout good, you hear good, when you shout bad you hear bad. To conclude, adopting the Pygmalion effect in all walks of life is imperative for all-around peace, prosperity, and success.

Author and Mother—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”

 



 “Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.” —Author Unknown


An author can be compared with a mother who conceives and undergoes a lot of pressure and pleasure while carrying the child in her womb. The author conceives an idea to author a book. He finds several challenges right from inception to reality. For instance, he has to sacrifice his time to write a book. He undergoes several trials and tribulations apart from the routine challenges to complete the book. Once the book is completed he has to search for a suitable publisher who would take the book forward. And it takes a lot of time, especially for budding authors. The author has to look for a suitable person to write the foreword and it takes time to get approval. In addition, he has to work for endorsements from experts in the field to make sure that the book gets better visibility. It again takes time. In the meantime, there will be challenges between the publisher and the author on various issues. There will be challenges related to time deadlines to get the endorsements for incorporation in the book. The entire process is easier said than done. The author invests his knowledge and the publisher invests money for publishing the book. There has to be the right understanding and chemistry between the author and publisher. Once the book is published, it is for the readers to decide whether it is properly delivered. If readers accept, the author gets elated with his efforts.


Similarly, the mother feels happy when she conceives the child initially. She undergoes a lot of pressure and pleasure while carrying the child and mostly lot of pressure. At the time of delivery, she undergoes a lot of pain and finally, she delivers the baby. The moment she sees her baby she forgets the entire pain and gets excited by seeing her baby. The author also gets excited when he first sees his book on hand. He will be happy when his book delivers the goods as per the expectations of the readers. It is a great feeling indeed for both the author and mother while delivering the book and the baby.


I would like to conclude that as every mother is possessive of her baby, every author is possessive of his book.

3:5:7:10 Success Principle—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


 


Here is the success principle to achieve all-round success not only in the year 2025 but also in your entire life. It is known as the 3:5:7:10 success principle. When you want to achieve success you need to set your goals properly. Once you set your goals it becomes easier for you to accomplish whatever you desire. In fact, goals help you remove negative thoughts, manage your time effectively, stay focused, and enhance longevity as you aspire to achieve them. To accomplish your goals, it is essential to write rather than think as written goals are more effective than unwritten goals and they keep you aligned firmly toward your goals.


When you want to achieve audacious goals first find out your passions and work on them continuously for 3 years so that you can acquire requisite knowledge and competence in that area. If you continue putting your efforts up to 5 years you will have recognition at your regional level in your area of expertise. If you continue putting efforts up to 7 years you will be recognized at the national level in your area of interest. And finally, if you extend your sincere efforts consistently up to 10 years then you will be able to brand yourself globally and succeed as an international expert in your area. Hence, on the eve of this New Year 2012 set your goals based on this success principle and you will be amazed to find yourself as an international expert in your area of interest by 2022.


All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible." — Orison Swett Marden

How do You Interview to Add Value and Impact Humankind?—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


 


I am an author, researcher, and storyteller. I create stories to make a difference and impact humankind. I am curious and creative by nature. I observe people, interact with strangers, acquire knowledge, and share my knowledge freely with the world. I started interviewing people in Seattle, USA.


I am an Indian Air Force Veteran. https://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.com/2015/10/things-you-dont-know-about-professor-m.html


There is an assumption that conducting interviews and giving interviews are easy tasks. They are tough tasks indeed especially when you conduct interviews with celebrities. If becoming a celebrity and conducting interviews are one thing, interviewing a celebrity is another. Both tasks need the right platforms to share ideas and build leadership brands. In this post, I will discuss interviewing people, etiquette, and tips for interviewing successfully.


You must join appropriate platforms to connect with celebrities and use your connections wisely to reach them through various means including email, telephone, and personal interaction. It is advisable to approach them through your reliable connections because they give comfort and confidence to the celebrities. Additionally, celebrities have their apprehensions and insecurities.



How to Interview?


Prepare a template and customize your questions according to the interests of the celebrities and their profession. Here is a blueprint to interview celebrities successfully.

  • Research intensively about the celebrity and find out their areas of interest to connect with them before the interview and frame questions accordingly.

  • Capture the ideas that flash through your mind first. Convert them into questions. Present them in a polished language. Avoid irrelevant questions and repetition. Structure and sequence them. Edit them ruthlessly.

  • Don’t give the questions to the interviewees in advance to achieve the right outcomes. However, you may share an outline of the interview in advance to enable the interviewee to prepare mentally.

  • Observe etiquette and respect their privacy.

  • Avoid close-ended questions. Ask open-ended questions to get the best.

  • Avoid asking embarrassing, controversial, and personal questions. Instead, hit the bull's eye with the right questions. Don't ask questions based on rumors and grapevine.

  • Listen attentively and empathetically. Don’t interrupt. If there is a need to interrupt, wait for a pause during the conversation and ask your question politely. Avoid creating an impression that you have cut off the interviewee.

  • Avoid outsmarting the interviewee. Don’t control the conversation. Let the interviewee speak freely.

  • Be unique and add value to your audiences by asking innovative and useful questions. Respect the time of your audiences and readers.

  • Indicate a signpost when you are about to close the interview.


An ideal interview unveils the unknown areas of the interviewee and adds value to the audience and readers.



A Take-Home Message


Research and preparation are the keys to successful celebrity interviews. Take the liberty to deviate from the questions to have a natural flow of conversation. Take intrapersonal feedback after the interview to improve. Practice a lot and improve regularly to excel as a successful interviewer. To summarize, don't give up if the celebrities don't agree to your interview requests. Be patient and persistent. It is worth trying to add value and stand out from others. Good luck with your successful interviews!

Why is Compassion an Integral Part of Soft Leadership?—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”


 

 “Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." —Lao Tzu.


When we look at soft leaders like Lord Jesus and Buddha, we find them being filled with compassion. They changed the face of the world through their compassion. The soft leader like Mother Teresa helped lepers through her selfless service. She made a lot of difference in the lives of the poor and downtrodden in India. Compassion is an integral characteristic of soft leadership. It helps in connecting with others easily. People appreciate the leaders who care for them and touch them.


Compassion is one of the unheralded characteristics of soft leaders. However, we rarely find leaders with compassion currently. Unfortunately, most of the leaders are busy protecting their personal and professional interests ignoring the interests of others.


Compassion means caring for others by ignoring your own interests. Compassion means keeping the interests of others as paramount by subordinating your personal interests. Compassion is not a weakness. Kahlil Gibran rightly said, "Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution." Compassion is all about genuinely caring for your people. It is handholding them without expecting any returns. Compassion commands great inner strength, courage, and power. It is one of the greatest gifts humans receive from God. But how many of us demonstrate and exercise compassion is a million-dollar question.


People often confuse between compassion and sympathy. Both are different indeed! Sympathy is external, feeling sad about others. However, compassion comes from the core of the human heart. It is considered the highest expression of humanness. It is a state of consciousness and distillation of all the virtues.


It is a well-admitted fact that compassion builds loyalty and loyalty builds trust. And soft leaders connect with others through trust. Compassion and empathy make the difference between a leader people want to follow and one they need to follow.


Through compassion soft leaders can maximize their people and organizations. Real leaders are the ones who encourage others to take care of others and who empathize and demonstrate compassion to others. Only such leaders can influence and maximize the potential of their people thus bringing the best out of them. The slogan is when you maximize your people, you maximize your organization. And it is possible only through soft leadership.



A Take-Home Message


"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." —Martin Luther King Jr.


A soft leader needs to have a well-rounded personality. We cannot expect someone to be a good leader without being compassionate with followers. Compassion is a key to ministering to people. Compassion makes a lot of difference in making leaders as soft leaders. Soft leadership flows from the fountain of compassion.


Everyone talks of becoming something big, not of becoming a worthy citizen. Why do society and parents create such a mindset among the people? Why should not we think of becoming worthy citizens, virtuous persons, or helpful persons to society?


Think what Dalai Lama said, "If you want others to be happy, then practice compassion. If you want to be happy, then practice compassion."
