a to z mantra for dreamer doers
Sir M Visvesvaraya – one of the best role models for any dreamer doer in the crowd, seems to have followed his own unique thumb rule of success practiced routinely. Recently, during a quest to understand his works in the context of sustainable business strategies, I came across this nice Alphabet list supposed to have been compiled and presented by Sir MV in Oct 1919:
Attend carefully to details
Be prompt in all things
Consider well, then decide positively
Dare to do right, fear to do wrong
Endure trials patiently
Fight life’s battle bravely
Go not into the society of the vicious
Hold integrity sacred
Injure not another’s reputation
Join hands with the virtuous
Keep your mind free from all thoughts
Lie not for any consideration
Make many friends
Never try to appear what you are not
Observe good manners
Pay your debts promptly
Question not the veracity of friend
Respect the counsel of your parents
Sacrifice money rather than principle
Trust thyself
Use your leisure for improvement
Venture not on the threshold of wrong
Watch carefully over your passions
Xtend to everyone a kindly greeting
Yield not to discouragement
Zealously labor for the right, and success is certain.
It might be easy for many of us to write or think in a good, structured manner. But it takes everything to live one. Sir MV has demonstrated the true qualities of dreamer doers in the crowd, through his works such as Nation Building or Reconstructing India – that seem to be relevant any day for any country and proved the same in his actions & results, throughout the century of his life.
Looks like we should just – Salute the MASTER and follow the footsteps, while carving own impressions ….
