“I rose from humble origins with a toxic family background. When I was 18, I dropped out of college to support my parents financially and joined the Indian Air Force. I had to struggle hard to earn my livelihood. I sacrificed my personal time, invested a portion of my monthly salary and resources, and acquired several qualifications including DME, BSc, MA, MBA, PGDCLL, and PGDBM. I earned my Ph.D. in 2011. I understand the pain of life. I am a self-made man. I have learned that there's no such thing as a free lunch.” ―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership”
Every parent wants their child to be great. Every teacher wants their students to become great. Every root delivers fruit. But what is common among all these examples is that all are torchbearers and show light. They guide and glide from nowhere to somebody.
The root of a tree can not eat its fruits but it helps others enjoy the fruits. It is enjoyed when someone eats its fruits and derives great joy and happiness. Its role is to have a strong foundation to sustain itself for a longer time by providing fruits for others. In our daily lives, we find a few people who remain as root but share their fruits with others and derive immense pleasure from it. These people remain a source of inspiration and motivation for others to dream big and achieve greater heights.
Similarly, teachers enjoy giving out their knowledge and wisdom to students. They feel proud when their students reach a tipping point. The teachers can not reach the tipping point but they encourage and educate their students to reach the same. They enjoy shaping the careers and lives of their students.
Every parent wants their child to grow and be successful. They provide character and confidence in their child which are the foundation for success. They do not expect anything from their child except love and affection.
Some people would love to share their knowledge with others as they enjoy others' growth. It is like a candle providing light for others and getting melted during the process. And there is immense pleasure in getting melted as they provide light for others as long as they are alive.
“I am 62 years of age and a survivor of a brain stroke that occurred in 2021. My upbringing was not characterized by luxury; on the contrary, I was raised in a toxic familial environment and polluted surroundings. I do not possess either a motorcycle or an automobile. Furthermore, I do not receive any pension or a consistent income. My life is marked by numerous struggles and hardships, including mental, physical, and financial challenges. Nevertheless, despite these adversities, I have managed to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.” ―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—21st-Century Philosopher & The Father of “Soft Leadership
