Here is the first part of the transcript for the video "Elevate your Career | 7 Timeless Principles for Professional Success":
"20 years ago, both of you were doing the same work. Today he is the chairman of American railroad and you're still doing the same work. What do you think is the difference? Seven mental philosophies... which I have seen, has built... ordinary individuals into extraordinary leaders, who did much more than anybody anticipated them to do in their lives.
One... Expect more from myself. One of the human curse, is our expectations are always directed extroverted. Introvert them. I will expect more from myself. We expect from government, we expect from... relationships, we expect from families, we expect from God… You will sit there and expect from people who conduct the session… People who conduct the session will expect cooperation from you. But my expectations from you is not something I can control. I can expect but I don't have control over it. The only expectation I can control is the expectation I have over myself. The starting point of excellence is, I will expect more from myself. I will surpass my own expectations. I will surpass the expectations of the world all the time. When Jesus Christ said, ‘If they ask you to walk a mile, walk two. Always go the extra mile.’ I don't think he was speaking - spirituality. He was speaking - management philosophy. In everything, go the extra mile, deliver more than what is expected, surpass expectations. The standards you hold for yourself must always be higher than the standards the world expects of you. So, the first leadership thought… the first leadership gateway… the first leadership Mental philosophy is – I will always expect more from myself. And from everything. Rather than begging the world to appreciate you never miss an opportunity to appreciate others. When the convention is going on… Don't come like a spectator and walk back like a spectator. Any session makes a difference… Go to the professor, find them outside. Never be inhibited, never be inhibited to do what is right and what is good. Go to them… volunteer and tell them – ‘Professor it made a lot of difference to me, thank you so much.’ Each one of them are here not because they want to receive something, but they want to give… recognize that intent. Never miss an opportunity to go and express yourself, wherever you find good… wherever you find that is right. And that's true with everything. If you're part of a team of 25 people, tell yourself, ‘I'm going to emerge the best’. You got to be the best. You want Krishna in your life, then you got to be Arjuna. What do I mean? Arjuna was the best Kshatriya in the Kurukshetra. God Himself prefers to be next to the best than anybody else. So, strive to be the best. I will expect more from myself. A father used to always read a newspaper. And this was his daily habit at the end of the day. And he had a six-year-old daughter who kept persisting, 'Dad play with me', but he was interested only in reading the newspaper. And you know, children are very adamant. Just then the father saw there was a full-page advertisement of an international courier company, and the world map was printed there. The father came up with situational brilliance. He tore the sheet of paper from the newspaper, tore it into multiple pieces scattered it all over the floor. And he said – ‘This is your jigsaw puzzle, assemble the world map properly and then I will play with you.’ Then he continued to read the newspaper. To his astonishment within 10 minutes, the child assembled the entire world map, called out to dad and said – ‘See!’. He was shocked. He knows his own IQ levels. So, seeing that this child has done this, he believed it must be a genetical skip. Looking at his expression of shock and surprise, the little one said – ‘Dad I know why you're so shocked. But let me tell you, when you were tearing the newspaper, I saw there was a face of a man on the other side. Dad, I don't know where Mexico should be, where Ghana should be, where Russia should be, where New Zealand should be, where India should be, but Dad, I know where forehead should be, where nose should be, where eyes should be.’ And it seems the child said – ‘Dad, I got the man right the world became right.’ And this is the only solution. Rather than expecting the world should become right the world should live up to my expectations… you get yourself right and you live up to your own expectations. And there's a very different life you will begin to live from there onwards. So, what do I do after I expect more from myself? Mental philosophy TWO: I will align myself to the highest work ethic. Work ethic cannot be a HR policy. You can't do something because there is a policy in the hospital.
