Interpretations Of the Technical Mind: “BE<\/span> MORE<\/span> AMBITIOUS<\/span> “<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>Hello There,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>I am Ananthanarayanan.V.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Article here speaks about me pondering on my 25 th<\/sup> birthday this year for just one word that has been driving me at times to the edge of my life with great strength and it is what we term as <\/span>” PASSION<\/strong> “. Passion, would be<\/span> a very subjective term as it means different things for different people, so I was looking at its closest synonym. Passion, is anything that can drive one to an extent to which all that is visible is to achieve and acquire that which is desired. I just turned an 180\u25e6 <\/sup>from my chair and <\/span>I saw\u00a0my company’s\u00a0Logo, that read ” BE<\/span> More<\/span> Ambitious<\/span> “. I kept repeating that word and bingo, it hit me that passion for any technical individual is pure ambition. Ambition to become famous, acknowledged, acquire Higher Skills, tremendous growth, more<\/span> and faster growth and it all screamed of one word : The Rising Moolah! Let’s face it, at the end of the day if we cannot turn our skills, ideas, concepts to creating and converting it into money, how much use is the extra Drive within us. I had participated in a discussion forum few months back referred to as ” Genesis of the Human Mind “, this heading now keeps screaming to me about the major vote for our debate where we spoke about giving back and thus winning in the long run, for a permanent recognition in the market. So it was Philosophy and Market Capitalization combined. Hey, we are entering into a new era of realization, aren’t we? <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>So where am I going with all this. I started with the word, Passion. Went on to the Logo with a slight shift from my usual seat and looked around and Devoured the meaning of our Logo, connected it to the dots of growth and finally touched the humble act of ultimate gain which I refer to as ” GIVING “. This is how we, Humans evolve slowly from the basic needs to the most powerful form of all beings and becoming what I would love to really be<\/span> ” IMMORTAL “. The easiest way to become immortal is by forming an institution and then making it grow as the kindest and the biggest thirst of any human being is ” KNOWLEDGE “. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>How do I come to that conclusion? <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Who is richer, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or Swami Vivekananda. I am not a spiritual leader who is going to give you a series of quotes and Prove what is Universally true. I am a technical person, so I will go for my traditional use of formulas to prove <\/span>What is true.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Richness = Gains \u2013 Sacrifices, so we have Gains and Sacrifices on either side.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What did Bill gates and Warren Buffet acquire, tons and tons of money, fame and respect with some raised eyebrows<\/em>. Now what are they doing : Giving back to the world as much as they can. And what did the swami do, took nothing and kept giving and what did he get, Immortality. He has been worshipped for generations and will be<\/span> for centuries to come. SO will, the Mahatma and Mother Teresa. What did these people have : Money \u2013 No, A stylish and rich life \u2013 No, Respect \u2013 Yes, Admiration \u2013 Yes, Influence \u2013 The greatest. I met few foreigners in <\/span>Singapore<\/span> last month and we were talking about the power of the mind and they asked me where I was from, when I said <\/span>India<\/span> they immediately said : Oh! From the Mahatma’s land. So what makes the world drop everything and go on a hunger strike with the tiny looking fragile being, what makes the most so referred to as rich and powerful quiver in front of the swami and bow in front of his teachings and what makes the presence of Mother Teresa so truly powerful. It is their act of giving as much as one can without expecting a smile in return. <\/span>So who has won the game of the three, those who acquired it all and now are giving it all back or those who have been constantly giving and leaving their prints in our mind, body and soul forever. So here the sacrifice made has won because of the credibility status<\/strong> it has gained. For the statements made by these great and in real terms powerful people is what we call as not INFORMATION, but pure ” KNOWLEDGE<\/strong> “. SO the Swami won<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>So what has this to do with\u00a0my company’s logo. Everything. As I read the logo my Intellect started calculating all the gains I have made in the last\u00a01 year in the\u00a0organization. What did my Balance sheet show me. There were no Liabilities, though my tax deductions seem to say otherwise. Just kidding. So what have I gained. Am I glad about the performance benefit\u00a0given to me. <\/span>My smirk from the face flew away and my mind was calm. In the\u00a01 year with this organisation, that I have been associated here I have acquired tons of laminated cards and greeting cards and personal emails in scores from students at the end of every batch expressing their ” THANKS<\/strong> “. It was just one word that we use so casually most of the times that made me feel weak in my knees and so emotional. In reality was I being a Mahatma or a Swami, Oh dear god! Even thinking something like that would be<\/span> a Capital Crime. I am just like a candle in front of the Sun<\/em><\/strong>. I have been just like any other ordinary person purely driven by the passion of My field and my desire to grow really fast and as a wise man once said, The easiest way to Success is to perform at least three times your level. So I did all this just being motivated to grow bigger and higher in career and prospects. And I gained so much in return. So much more<\/span>. SO\u00a0every institution\u00a0which runs and succeeds with pomp and style, it’s actually a celebration of the People, the masses and those who have applied this knowledge derived from our esteemed fellow brothers and sisters imparting that knowledge to them for their personal growth and the society’s growth in general. So now let me sum up all this talk and take only the BIG words and try putting it together. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Greatness, Reach, Spreading, Generous, Institution, Influence, Act, Ponder, Giving, Money, Richness, Fame, Immortal, Service, Value and knowledge. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> Any institution which is built on the foundation of giving, any individual who ponders & thrives on the belief of innovating at any cost and any organization with true values of being a pure service sector to the society will <\/span>immensely grow <\/span>through the act of generous giving with a true mission statement, will spread out the good word and stay alive for generations and be<\/span> referred to as A POWERFUL MOVEMENT and thus grow up to be<\/span> finally above all fame, money and power and be<\/span> IMMORTAL. <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>So at the end of this discussion, the conclusion is : <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> To Grow rich and powerful and influence the world all we need to do is drive ourselves with pure passion and ambition and strive for our growth as Experts by spreading what we have gained and just simply \u2013 ” BE<\/span> MORE<\/span> AMBITIOUS<\/span> “. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>If all of this sounded too philosophical to you then I have achieved my goal as spreading of any good thing today in this modern era which is otherwise so consumed by ” greed ” is in our term referred to as being ” PHILOSOPHICAL “. So let’s all get more<\/span> philosophical and grow by Innovation ,Intelligence and Impact and just get IMMORTAL. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Be<\/span> well<\/span><\/p>\n
