“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.” -Napoleon Hill
Human mind has two parts – conscious and subconscious mind. Both play a crucial role for functioning of human mind. The conscious mind is voluntary that you are aware and it goes by logic, analysis and reasoning. In contrast, the subconscious mind is involuntary. It is not known to you and you are unaware. It contains emotions, heart beat and breathing rate. When you look at your loved ones your emotions rise, heart beat increases. It happens due to your subconscious mind.
People with high emotions go by heart rather than the reasoning of mind. Especially when someone loves deeply, he does not go by any reasoning or logic. He just follows as he is emotionally attached with the opposite sex.
You can heal your disease through the power of your mind. It is your mind responsible for most of the illness. When you can conquer your mind then you can conquer your disease almost one-third.
Although subconscious mind is programmed from conscious mind, it is superior as it is the place for emotions and imagination. The motivational levels of people start from here only. Subconscious mind is like a magnet that immediately and instantly attracts the ideas that have emotional content. If you want to break your old habits you have to touch your subconscious mind first, then only it is easier to unlearn and learn. Unfortunately, most people fail to program their minds properly. The research from neuroscience reveals that subconscious mind controls 95 per cent of our daily activities.
People take decisions based on intuition and gut feeling which is nothing but taking decisions based on their subconscious mind. The conscious mind works with logic, analysis and perceptions. The subconscious mind is well framed and programmed from the inputs received from conscious mind. For instance, when someone hits a person, the latter immediately either defends or offends. It is basically because he reciprocates from his subconscious mind spontaneously. Simultaneously the conscious mind thinks of what to do next in given the situation.
During waking hours, the conscious mind works. While in sleeping hours, the subconscious mind comes to the fore. For instance, Susan was a housewife. She had the ability of instructing her subconscious mind when to wake up early in the morning. She never set clock but told herself firmly the time to get up. Her husband was so surprised over her programming the subconscious mind. She had the ability to influence her subconscious mind strongly. Susan was an alarm clock by herself. It indicates the power of subconscious mind.
When you learn new things your conscious mind will be fully alert. As the time passes, you get used to these things. That means your subconscious mind takes over in charge from your conscious mind. Your subconscious mind is like an autopilot.
The thoughts and the beliefs that you have in conscious mind will be transferred to subconscious mind automatically. For instance, if you sow right seeds in your conscious mind, you reap right plants in your subconscious mind. If you feed your mind with good thoughts that you can achieve anything and everything in your life, the same will go to your subconscious mind. In a nutshell, the conscious mind is the creator while the subconscious mind is the executor.
Susan and Ron:
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.” - Simone Weil
Ron and Susan worked in a same place. Susan was the senior most as she had been working in the company for the last 6 years. Ron was older to Susan with higher amount of experience in other companies. But he was the junior most in the organization. As per the organizational requirements, Ron had to work with Susan until he got grooved and groomed with in the system.
Ron initially hesitated with Susan who was younger but respected her intellectual and educational background and started working together. Susan was a polite and well mannered. She was bold and beautiful. She was a woman of principles and values. Ron began liking her behavior and worked together for six months. Ron began thinking deeply about Susan. He always took the positive aspects of Susan although a few commented that Susan was stubborn and a trouble maker for getting the things done. Since Ron was an independent thinker he began thinking of his own and started feeding positive information and inputs about Susan to his subconscious mind. Over a period of time, Ron began thinking deeply about her all the time and even in his dreams. Later on, Ron realized that he began loving Susan.
From the above story it becomes very clear about the importance of feeding subconscious mind with right inputs. If Ron fed wrong inputs about Susan in his subconscious mind, he would have developed hatred against her. Therefore, everything depends on how you think and how you program your subconscious mind. Never ignore the power of your subconscious mind.
Synchronize your Conscious and Subconscious Mind for Success:
“You are the most powerful magnet in the universe! You contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful than anything in this world, and this unfathomable magnetic power is emitted through your thoughts.” - Rhonda Byrne
Common people do not know the power of both conscious and subconscious mind. Only success people know the significance of both and leverage them. When there is right harmony between the both, there can be peace and success. When people feed themselves with negative thoughts, they end up with negative results. Rights inputs will lead to right outputs. When you program your mind with healthy and progressive thoughts regularly, over a period of time, you can achieve the desired changes in your life as your subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is like an obedient soldier who obeys the instructions from the conscious mind. It does not know the difference between good and bad. Whatever the orders passed by the conscious mind will be obeyed and executed. Therefore, make sure that your conscious mind gives the right orders to your subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind can be compared with a vehicle which runs as per the directions of the driver. If your subconscious mind is a puppet then your conscious mind is the puppeteer. Therefore, learn to pull the strings effectively and efficiently for achieving all round success.
When teacher explains the subject repeatedly it goes deep within the subconscious mind of the students. Since subconscious mind does not go by logic and analysis, it goes purely by repetitive instructions. If students have to understand effectively then the teacher has to focus on key things repetitively. It is for these reasons; great speakers repeat the key ideas, points, and thoughts in different ways and means to get across the message.
Conclusion:
You can be what you are if you can shape your subconscious mind through right commands from your conscious mind. Only with limited usage of our mind power we achieve many things. Imagine the amazing results when you can reap by using your mind fully. Do how many people put in their efforts to explore their mind power? It is only a few. Those who succeed in life are the people who know how to utilize their mind power fully.
Always dream big. When you dream big then imagination comes from your subconscious mind. When your dream is strong you will definitely achieve. Focus more on the strength of your dreams. When your strength of dreams is stronger then the reality of success would be sure and certain.

Involvement of Emotions in Public Speaking - Prof.M.S.Rao
Any public speaking involves three dimensions such as perspiration, preparation and inspiration. It is necessary to do extensive research on the topic. Lot of energies and efforts are to be put in preparation of the content. Once content is well crafted, it requires basic ingredients and elements including emotions that would add value to public speaking.
When we look at public speaking, we recall the famous speeches of Swami Vivekananda at Chicago Conference, Winston Churchill during Second World War, Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech, Martin Luther King’s speeches and Pundit Nehru’s famous speech at the time of India’s independence. The speeches are famous and memorable even today because of the involvement of emotions. For any speech to be successful it is necessary to add emotions as it brings excitement among people.
Audience analysis is the first and foremost pre-requisite for effective public speaking. The profile, the maturity level, the geographical, cultural, linguistic and racial background of the audience will help the speaker to form a firm opinion about the needs of the audience. It helps in proper content preparation.
After assessing the audience analysis and preparing the content, the speaker has to prepare for the D-day. At the beginning of the speech, it is necessary to speak slowly as it helps in connecting with the audience easily. The speaker has to introduce himself, welcome the audience, introduce the topic briefly and proceed further. If possible, mugging up the introductory part helps in building self-confidence for the speaker. The speaker may also ask a thought provoking question to quickly connect with audience. Humor can also be used initially to break the ice and to quickly connect with audience. Besides, usage of technology can also help to create initial impact and impression among the audience.
Once the rapport has been built then it is time to focus on vocal inflexion. By lowering and raising the voice during public speaking, the audience will get energized and do not get into monotony. The content can be carried forward effectively by balancing three elements like body animation, vocal animation and facial animation. Body language plays a crucial role for successful public speaking. Right postures convey right signals to the audience. Wherever it is required, it is desirable to observe silence for a moment. It helps the audience to applaud and also helps them to anticipate the next content.
When the topic is coming to close, then it is the time to indicate through messages like ‘finally’, ‘in conclusion’ or ‘at the end’ to the audience. It brings the public speaking close to the end successfully. Finally, thank the audience at the end for their time and support.
In a nutshell, for a successful public speaking analyze your audience, prepare the content accordingly, introduce yourself confidently, deliver the content naturally, focus on content with emotions and summarize at the end.

Five Stages for Success - Prof.M.S.Rao
Success is the seven letter word excites all of us. But everyone cannot reach it. Only a few can reach it. Why is it so? Is there any magic wand for the successful people?
Success is the confluence of several ingredients such as passion, vision, mission, execution and feedback. Whenever you want to achieve something in your life, you must know what you love the most i.e. passion. Passion is like spark brewing in the heart and, if ignited, it becomes an inferno. Passion is closely connected to more of heart than mind. It is more of chemistry than physics. Passion does not settle for less. It wants more. It doesn’t sleep. It keeps you on toes. It makes you restless. It excites you. It is a typical scenario where it makes you highly focused and task oriented.
Mere doing the things just because others have done and successful will not work out. It ends up in a fiasco. What is required is to find out what touches your heart the most. What are the areas of interest that drives you and gives you a kick for moving ahead? Most of the people successful in the world are basically passionate in what they did. They did what comforted them. They did what brought joy while doing. They tapped their inner talents. They discovered their hidden strengths. They carried forward their raw abilities ruthlessly.
The second successive ingredient for success is vision. It clearly tells you where to go in your life. It reminds you of your present status in life. It directs you in a specific direction based on your passion. Most of the successful people are visionaries. They know what they want in their lives. They set their directions properly and moved ahead successfully.
The third ingredient for achieving success is mission. It tells you how to go. Once the direction has been set, the mission unveils the methods, tools and techniques involved in following the desired direction. It reminds of the resources that are essential for following your path to success. It is at this stage of journey towards success, you have to put constant efforts and energies. It is equally necessary to equip the skills and abilities needed for achieving success.
The fourth ingredient toward success is execution. It is the toughest task. It is easier said than done. There will be number of practical bottlenecks that hinder the path to success. There are both internal and external forces and factors contribute towards execution. The internal factors can be easily managed as things are very much within human control. Self-discipline, self-motivation, hard work, perseverance, determination and grit will play a crucial role. The external environmental factors which are beyond human control can disturb and divert your path towards success. A few call these as fate. Few call the same as luck. It can either make or break you as a successful person. People who have high locus of control don’t believe in destiny. These people strongly feel that their destiny is in their hands. They try to control the external environment as far as possible. If they are not able to manage and face setbacks during the process, they pursue their execution with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
The last ingredient for achieving success is taking feedback. It is a review process where in they look at how far they reached their goals and objectives. If they failed to reach why did they fail? How to overcome the failures and what remedial measures can be taken to pursue the path towards success. It is the status to check the performance.
Conclusion:
The road to success is not a cakewalk. It requires lot of struggles and sacrifices. To sum up, you need to be passionate in whatever you undertake. You have to set out your goals and objectives which becomes vision. You set out a clear path or roadmap towards your success and that is known as mission. Mere words won’t pay you but deeds play a crucial role for ensuring success which is execution. And last but not the least, it is equally necessary to take stock of the situation periodically for remedial and corrective action which is known as feedback. When all these ingredients are effectively integrated, success would touch your toes.
