Power of the 3 Golden words
Simplicity. Sincerity. Humility.
Of the many things we learnt at IIT, this was the first thing we were taught in a Human Values course, and rightly so.
Be simple in the way you work and live; be completely honest and sincere in value you provide to people; and when you do good, be humble, be grateful, we are indeed standing on the shoulders of giants.
These values seemed uncommon to us in our environment though. With social media on rise and creating a new way of jealousy, people constantly trying to be someone they are not, constantly asking for approval from strangers because they didn’t get it from within.
Also, people constantly telling you the “Rules of success”, what you need to do and don’t, creating all sorts of Fear of Missing out.
Close observation though, however tells us that people who have really made a difference in the world valued these qualities from within. It needs no reminder that Ratan Tata used to live in a simple house and visited his old ailing colleagues even at the age of 80.
“A nobel laureate will never tell you he had won a nobel prize, it’s the other people who will.”
You can have success in your own different ways, different paths, different approaches than others, there are no set rules of success.
There are only 3 golden words leading you to the path — Simplicity, Sincerity, Humility.
