Srikumar Rao Quotes

Do you feel bored and stuck in a rut? Is work drudgery? If so, you are spending far too much time bemoaning your fate and how the universe is not cooperating with your desires. Be present with and in your current situation Picture Quote #1

When you try to bring about behavioral change by an effort of will, you actually do violence to yourself, and the chances are very good that you will not succeed. This is so universally true that you can actually make money from it Picture Quote #1

Business schools need to address students on a human being level, not as cogs in the machine to supply fresh talent to big companies Picture Quote #1

I have exercises that lead participants to discover for themselves that their deepest fulfillment comes when what they’re doing is of benefit to larger society in some way. This really knocks some for a loop - especially those schooled in the ‘take no prisoners’ approach Picture Quote #1

In terms of companies, they must stand for something bigger. They must be dedicated to something larger than financial results. I reject the Milton Friedman belief that a company’s sole responsibility is to the shareholders Picture Quote #1

Executives don’t burn out and leave when they feel deep satisfaction. They don’t create the human detritus that disgruntled managers do Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t change my life for anything. I am exactly where I want to be and have no plans to ever retire Picture Quote #1

There are terrible jerks, and there are an unusually large concentration of them in the workplace. And that means that you do have to make some changes in your behavior, but there is absolutely no need for you to give them power over your happiness Picture Quote #1

My methods produce lasting behavioral change without unpleasant consequences, because the change does not come from an effort of will. It comes from examining your deep-rooted beliefs of who you are and how the world functions. As you examine these beliefs and make changes in them, you literally become a different person Picture Quote #1

Personal ambition is ‘I want to be CEO.’ Greater vision ambition is, ‘I want to lead this company so that people want to work here.’ Picture Quote #1

Consciously be sensitive to others, and try to elevate their level of consciousness. Don’t do this by being preachy and telling them that they ‘should’ do this or that. Do it by raising your own level of energy and recognizing what’s best in others Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe that being an inspiring leader is a goal that you can aspire to. It is a by-product Picture Quote #1

It’s wonderful to be grateful. To have that gratitude well out from deep within you and pour out in waves. Once you truly experience this, you will never want to give it up Picture Quote #1

I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein’s work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India Picture Quote #1

Unending joy is actually closer to us than our own skin, and there is nothing we have to do or get or be to experience it. All we have to do is stop driving it away Picture Quote #1

Most of us function under the model we have to get something in order to do something, in order to be something. If this happens, then I will be happy. And I’m suggesting to you that we live our entire lives based on that model, and that model is fundamentally flawed Picture Quote #1

Whenever you’re feeling grateful, you are not feeling frustrated and angry and all those negative states that we go into. And that’s a big benefit in and of itself Picture Quote #1

It is indeed possible to change your view of the universe from indifferent to friendly. I have helped thousands of persons make this transition in my workshops Picture Quote #1

I believe that if you don’t derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don’t come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don’t feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste Picture Quote #1

If you want to experience joy in your life, you have to be able to step outside yourself and become part of a cause that is much larger than you; one that brings a greater good to a greater community Picture Quote #1

Stress is the demon in our society, stalking the cities and the countryside, striking down young and old and growing in strength daily Picture Quote #1

Life is a university, and you never graduate. Accept that whatever happens to you, no matter how terrible, is there to teach you. Your job is to learn and do what you have to Picture Quote #1

When you look on the bright side, you’re acknowledging that there is a dark side at which you are choosing not to gaze. If you think that the darkest hour is before the dawn, you accept that you are moving from darkness to light Picture Quote #1

Stress appears in your life because you have a rigid view of ‘This is the way the world should be,’ and the Universe pays scant regard to your desires. And you refuse to accept this Picture Quote #1

Certainly businesses the world over are facing greater competitive pressure than ever before, and this leads to executive stress which, in turn, tends to bring out authoritarian tendencies in many bosses. To balance this, we now know a lot more about how we can successfully cope with a situation that is not likely to improve in the near future Picture Quote #1
