Thanks for your continued support inreading my blog and providing your valuable comments.

Here is the success principle toachieve all round success not only in the year 2012 but also in your entirelife. It is known as 3:5:7:10 success principle. When you want to achieve success you need toset your goals properly. Once you set your goals it becomes easier for you toaccomplish whatever you desire. In fact, goals help you remove negativethoughts, manage your time effectively, stay focused and enhance longevity asyou aspire to achieve them. In order to accomplish your goals, it is essentialto write rather than think as written goals are more effective than the unwrittengoals and they keep you aligned firmly towards your goals.

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

“Managing Success is More Challenging Than Managing Failures”- Professor M.S.Rao

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” - Booker T. Washington

Managing success is more challenging than managing failures. It sounds strange right! Yes, when you achieve success more people flock around you to congratulate and to share your success. And you find it tough to manage them. At the same time you will have more challenges as there will be people who are envious of your success and criticize you by highlighting your negative past or sometimes criticize your means and methods of reaching to the top.

It is tough to know who are your real friends especially after achieving success. When you fail you can easily assess your friends who stand by you.  It is true that prosperity brings friends while adversity tests them.

After achieving success, if you don’t pay attention to others due to your busy schedules you will be misunderstood that success has gone to your head. If you closely associate with everybody few people may take undue advantage out of your closeness.  They may send wrong signals to others. Sometimes people try to attack you so that they get noticed easily by others. These days, several small people with little egos began attacking the big leaders with shoes. Sometimes they slap the top people in public to get instant publicity. Therefore, the successful people have to be more careful in protecting their image and managing their success. They know how hard to achieve success and they must also learn that maintaining success and retaining fame is still harder.

Hence, understand the intricacies involved in achieving success. Learn to manage your success well through proper time management.  And above all, have humility to grow still taller in stature.  Accept the reality that it is easy to manage failures but tough to manage your success.

“Whimsical Woman – Short Story” - Professor M.S.Rao

“The weak in courage is strong in cunning.” -  William Blake

Chanchal was an overambitious woman with average height and great physical beauty. She was 32 years old.  She worked in a multinational company as a consultant. She joined for management education to acquire degree so that she could grow professionally.

The very first day she bombarded the Professor Lenny with volley of questions such as whether the Professor Lenny would discuss examination papers and undertake extra sessions. Professor responded affirmatively with lot of patience.

The Professor Lenny conducted classes regularly.  He was jovial while interacting with his students and encouraged students to discuss various aspects of the subject and his sessions were highly interactive.  During the course of teaching sessions Chanchal would ask several questions out of the subject in the classroom and the Professor Lenny replied with patience. She often asked Professor Lenny to include spicy content so that the sessions would be interesting. Initially the Professor Lenny did not understand and gradually he realized that she wanted informal information with too many ingredients to include and teach so that she could relish. Although Professor was passionate and who joined teaching profession to make a difference in the lives of students, he did not appreciate including spicy content.  He was upset as the way the tastes and trends of few students were changing.  Professor Lenny included humor in his classes and the classes went on smoothly.  The entire batch of students who came from industrial background liked the teaching sessions of Professor Lenny and requested him to undertake sessions for another subject also after completion of the present subject. The Professor Lenny agreed.

The Professor Lenny was excited to conduct teaching sessions for another subject as he was already aware of the audience profile and their expectations.  Chanchal was never regular to classes and mostly she would talk about extra-marital affairs and illicit relations of others which were enjoyed by few students in the classroom but Professor Lenny did not appreciate. Professor Lenny began observing her closely as it was the second subject he was handling with these students. Chanchal would always talk about her boy friends and money related aspects in the classroom and she would often give wrong suggestions to the organizational challenges of other students in the classroom. Professor Lenny maintained distance with Chanchal and advised her to stay away from such talks.

One day when Professor Lenny was in the classroom he received a telephone call from Chanchal.  She said that she was in problem and wanted money from him immediately. Professor Lenny said he was in the classroom and expressed his inability to extend his financial help and advised her to take help from her office colleagues.  After sometime Chanchal sent message from her cell phone to Professor Lenny, “Thanks for not helping me.  I settled the matter with others’ help. I don’t want any acquaintance with you.”  Professor Lenny was surprised to receive such message from a student.  He taught for many years and for thousands of students and he never saw such a woman who asked money initially and sending such message subsequently when expressed inability to extend help. 

Professor Lenny did not have good opinion about Chanchal right from the beginning as she was a whimsical and overambitious woman.  She did not know the value of relations and how to maintain distance with others. Professor Lenny concluded that a woman like Chanchal would maintain relations only when others are useful to her and pitied about her nature and behavior.

From this story it is obvious that we should learn to empathize with others and must know whom to seek financial help. It is also essential to draw a clear line in relations. And also it is clear that relations are more precious and sacred than mere money.  And overambitious woman like Chanchal can go to any extent to please her ego.  It is better to stay away from such selfish and narrow minded persons who will do more harm than good for others.
