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.”
