Skill development

Animals by nature have a personality – majestic as a lion, dance like peacock, as fast as cheetah. But humans have to create a personality. We all look upto somebody – it could be Narayanamuthy, Barack Obama, Sachin Tendulkar, your uncle, father, mother, etc. All these people whom we look upto have a powerful personality and we admire them for that. This personality doesn’t come easily but takes time. In Engg college – Myself  vs my  friend – scored first second class and friend 98% (college topper).  Today friend struggles to make ends meet, while I  lead an enviable life style. All this was possible as I had something more than academics. This something which creates success is powerful personality. Everybody has personality, only those who have powerful personalities rise to the top. That’s why children should learn as many new initiatives / actvities in life as possible. Like dance, quiz, debate communications, team leader, sports etc.,.. 

 If someone whom we look upto enters the class e.g.Abdul kalam enters the class now, you will all stand up. That’s the power of powerful personality. 

Osama Bin Laden and Duryodhana are also have a powerful personality but used it in the wrong direction. The need for good people with a powerful personality is very important for India and the world

To become powerful personality three basics things you need to develop is Attitutde, skill and knowledge…

Steps for developing a powerful personality:

We need to have a powerful personality else life is a waste. Now what is needed to be done. Powerful personality is not an overnight activity – it takes time but it is worth it. Few of the basic qualities required are…

1. Leadership: To develop a powerful personality, you need to be a leader. People will follow my example but not my advice. 

Walk the talk and tak the walk, We should live by that. If your teacher who says exercise, but doesn’t have good health then you will not look upto to that teacher. Papa says u wake up early, but he himself wakes up late. Walk your talk. If I want you to be enthusiastic I should be enthusiastic. Papa gives a lecture on honesty and at that time a call comes, he says tell that uncle I am not there, then it will be difficult to impress the importance of honesty bcos the father is not living by it.  Mastermind – clapping.. 1 2 3 … go demonstration. 

2. Likes and Dislikes: I will subordinate my likes and dislikes to the purpose of my life.

I love to waste my time daily with my friends watching movies, can you become great personality. You have to subordinate your like for the purpse fo life.  If you are sick doctor goves the tablet. But tablet is donte taste to eat but if you don’t take because you don’t like will the fever cures no, you have to subordinat your dislike for the purpose of your life. 

 Love to sleep but purpose is to have study four hours a day , then I will wake up. You will have to be at school at 8*30, so you are subordinating your liking for sleep to come on time. Something in you has already changed in this process. Junk food is tempting, but if you think of your health you can overcome this temptation. Think ‘I will not put a paunch, not have indigestion etc’ and soon the +ve thought will help us overcome.  If you are in the wrong company, immediately move out. By decision you sleep, it is alright, but it should not be that you were studying and without your knowledge slept. 

3. Be tough on self: If you are tough on yourself, life will be infinitely easy on you. It is tough to study when everybody in the class is chatting and gossiping. But you need to be tough on your self. 

If everybody eating sweets , it is tough to sit without eating , but if you eat life will become tough on your self.  Slap yourself before life slaps you. Keep on practicing that which is tough and it will become easy. After sometime this thing which is tough will become easy. Expose myself in whatever way possible.

4. Unconditional responsibility: This is possible only when I assume unconditional responsibility. Accepting responsibility exposes you to yourself and creates the right attitude. Mahatma – thought I should remove all you people from my country unconditionally (he didn’t put a condition) and there the first seeds to greatness were sowed. There is no growth with conditions – it has to be unconditional. Assume it in the school, it could be a school function or a class activity. Life is not because of , it is inspite of.
