Professor M.S. Rao’s Republic Day Message 2021

Dear brothers and sisters,

I wish all Indians across the world a happy republic day!

We are celebrating the 72^nd republic day on 26^th Jan 2021. As a citizen of this great country, it is a great honor to share my thoughts with fellow citizens. We overcame several challenges in the recent past especially coronavirus that has thrown the world out of gear. India`s recovery rate from coronavirus is rising. We have got the vaccine and are gradually coming out of this pandemic. We showed the world that we Indians are resilient by nature. We have lots of issues internally and externally especially across the border. We are confident of resolving and overcoming them soon.

India has brought a few reforms in education through National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It eliminates rote learning and encourages practical learning. It inculcates scientific temper in students at a young age. It emphasizes creativity and critical thinking in the children.

There is growing urbanization and there is an urgent need to build homes for the homeless in India. All stakeholders including intellectuals, educators, government, NGOs ad industry must collaborate and work hard earnestly to build a strong India.

India is gifted with both natural resources and human resources. It is time we realized the importance of human resources dominated by the young population and utilized them for nation-building. Government alone cannot do everything. People must come forward to build a better and stronger India. The Indians who adapted to other countries are doing great and bringing laurels to our country. Indian CEOs are doing good globally leading Google and Microsoft.

India impacted, influenced, and inspired several eminent international leaders. Barack Obama in his bestselling book ‘A Promised Land’ talked about the greatness of India and the influence of Mahatma Gandhi on him. We taught the world that independence can be achieved through peace and non-violence. There are a few Nobel Laureates who are the followers of Mahatma Gandhi―Martin Luther King Jr, Aung San Sui Kyi, Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama, and Barack Obama.

Here are some messages on the eve of Republic Day. Love your mother. But don’t hate another person’s mother. As your mother is precious to you another person’s mother is equally precious to them. As your region and language are precious to you, they are equally precious to others. Therefore, let us develop the mindset, skillset, and toolset to grow as global citizens. Advocate gender equality globally. Emphasize women's empowerment. Remember, a bird cannot fly with one wing. It needs two wings to fly. Similarly, a society cannot grow without the support of women. Both men and women must collaborate and work hard to build a strong and prosperous world.

We Are Blessed To Be Born In India

We are blessed to have been born in India, a nation that emphasizes Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The World is One Family). We are all blessed to have been born in India. We are blessed to have been born at the right time in Indian history to make our impact and contribute our best both locally and globally. Let us improve our attitudes, become punctual, and enhance our commitments to build a better and stronger India. Let us emphasize secularism, respect diversity, promote fraternity, and maintain the unity and integrity of India. Let us take a pledge that we will make India a great nation in the world. Let us contribute our best to make India a Super Power in the world. God bless India. God bless the world. Jai Hind.

There Are No Disappointments In Life, Only Experiments

"You can learn a lot from suffering. Remember, in the ash of suffering a phoenix can be born." ―Professor M.S. Rao

When you fail in accomplishing your aspirations and expectations you get disappointed. Disappointments are quite common in life. You must know how to deal with them effectively. When you have long-term goals, you don't bother for disappointments. Everything happens for a reason. I failed many times in my life. I was rejected many times. Harvard rejected my application for a postdoctoral course in 2016. I was unmoved. I keep moving forward. Life is never a straight line. It is full of peaks and valleys. Take feedback. Get back to action. Identify the barriers and remove them. Explore options to fulfill your expectations and aspirations. Set realistic goals and objectives. Don't give up. Be consistent in your efforts. Be persistent. It is not intelligent but the persistent will succeed in the end.

Disappointments are temporary. Understand what you can control and what you cannot control. Focus on what you can control in life. Life is a journey. It is full of good times and bad times. Don’t get excited when you accomplish your goals and don’t get dejected when you encounter failures. Stay level headed.

My life is full of setbacks, disappointments, and failures. When you want to achieve big, you encounter lots of disappointments. It is great news because your dreams are bigger, your goals are bigger and your courage is higher. So, don't treat them as disappointments. Treat them as experiments. Try again.

Takeaway: Treat disappointments as learning experiences. There are only experiments, no disappointments.

“There are no disappointments in life, only experiments.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

Stop Being Too Nice To People

“Nothing is greater than serving others with a great heart. We live in a world where there is a huge competition for takers and the least competition for givers. So, be a giver and serve your societies and communities to build a better world.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

Being kind and helping others is a positive sign. But there is a limit to this. Don't become a people pleaser. If you are too nice to people you will be taken for granted. You may be exploited by people. So, understand the difference between pleasing people and serving the people. Don’t apologize when you are not guilty.

Being too nice is often treated as weakness the way some people treat compassion as a weakness. When you are too nice, people ridicule you and take you for granted. You won’t earn respect from some people.

Being too nice may lead to stress and burnout because you want to please people. Here are some tips to lead a mindful life. Be assertive. Set boundaries. Strike a balance. Draw the line. Emphasize win-win. Overcome your insecurities. Boost your self-esteem. Don't crave validation and recognition from people who lack credibility.

Helping others is a sign of a caring and compassionate person. So, don’t compromise your compassion with users and manipulators. Remember, being generous is good being overgenerous is often treated as a sign of weakness. Be a giver but be cautious of users and manipulators.

Takeaway: Be nice. Don't be too nice to people to avoid being misunderstood by others and prevent you from being used by manipulators.

Why Are Some Leaders Hated?

“The good leaders do the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas the great leaders do the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

Leaders in the ruling party have several challenges, especially from the opposition parties. When they make decisions, some people are adversely affected. When the critics become too aggressive, they develop hatred against leaders. Hatred against leaders cannot be avoided in public life. Leaders are not people pleasers. They walk their talk and make courageous decisions. Leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, and Mahatma Gandhi were assassinated because they could not please all sections of people.

Some of the greatest leaders were ignored and ridiculed by others initially. Later the same people respected them. Ordinary people rarely recognize the greatness in leaders. Mahatma Gandhi once remarked, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela were ignored and ridiculed initially but they are respected now.

When leaders challenge the status quo, people are often scared of change, and the latter develop hatred against the leaders. Leaders must embrace criticism gracefully to excel as great leaders. Leaders must make decisions keeping the larger interests of the people to gain confidence and command respect from others. They must keep people above politics. They must keep people before profit.

Takeaway: Leadership is not a popularity contest. Leadership is to make courageous decisions keeping the long-term interests in view.

How to Build Trust and Relationships?

“I believe in achieving success with integrity which is often ridiculed by many people. Ultimately it is the ethics and etiquette that will make you a great leader in the long run.” —Professor M.S. Rao

I have seen some interviews where leaders talk tough. They appear to be stubborn and don’t trust their associates blindly. It may be because of their past bitter experiences with others. It also depends on their mindset.

Some leaders are stubborn and tough because of the turmoil they have undergone. They are suspicious of others. Trust is the foundation of all good relationships. Build your trust account. Receiving the compliment as a trustworthy person from others is the biggest achievement in your life. There must be alignment between what you preach and practice. Mahatma Gandhi built trust in people by leading from the front, setting an example for others to follow, and achieving India's independence.

Trust is essential to have strong relationships. If trust is broken, the relationships are broken. But here are some tips that help you build trust in others. Be transparent. Be committed. Walk your talk. Be consistent. Treat others well. Be truthful. Be accountable.

Takeaway: Understanding basic psychology helps you with whom to trust.

Bamboo: The Miracle Plant

“Overnight success is an exception, not a rule. Successful people planted seeds, watered the seeds, and saw the seeds growing into plants and trees. Therefore, make the right choices every day. Stay on your game. Keep going for your dreams.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

I take feedback at the end of every year. When I took the feedback for the year 2020, I did not accomplish even a single goal. I felt that it was the coronavirus that threw my goals out of gear. I recalled the bamboo tree that takes a long time to shoot out from the ground.

The bamboo plant takes a long time because it strengthens its roots in the initial years, unlike other plants that grow quickly without strong roots. The growth is not visible initially for the bamboo plant. But it grows exponentially later. So, things take their own time. Never give up. Work hard, work smart, and work wise. Invest your efforts consistently to accomplish your goals.

Takeaway: Growth requires perspiration, persistence, and patience. Take action consistently. There is no overnight success. Keep moving forward. Have strong roots so that you cannot be toppled.

How to Deal With Insults and Humiliations in Your Life?

“The good leaders do the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas the great leaders do the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

Insults and humiliations are an integral part of life. Some people take them too seriously and brood over them. They get depressed finally. Some people adopt the method of ‘tit for tat.’ They take revenge. It is a wastage of their precious time and energy. Here are some tips to address them. Find out if there is any problem on your side. If you have made any mistake unconsciously, apologize. If there is no problem on your part, respond to them assertively. If the other person is not in the mood and still hits you below the belt, smile, and leave the place to avoid kicking up controversies. You must know how to deal with them. Act. Don’t react. Be cool and composed. You cannot afford to think about them. Lead your life mindfully. Life is short. Let us make it sweet. Focus on positive things.

When I was young, I was often angry. But life taught me several bitter lessons. Several betrayals by my rogue relatives made me become tough.

Takeaway: Convert a negative situation into a positive situation. Don't carry any emotional baggage. Let go off.
