Importance of communication

-

I had started my career as a lecturer from Allahabad. I still have remembrance of my first lecture. It was of Engineering Drawing. I started the lecture by asking a question. I asked, "what is the biggest problem of the world". It was a strange question as far as Engineering Drawing class was concerned, seems to be irrelevant. But, answers were started coming from the students. Some of them said that pollution is the biggest problem etc. After getting the answers and compiling them I said that according to me all these problems can be treated as a big problem but the reason behind them is the biggest challenge or problem in itself and that is the communication gap. Communication gap is the cause of all. If you see pollution as a problem, it is difficult to understand that one of the causes of it can be a communication gap. But it is one of the cause as the authorities at some level not communicating to a good level. The result is in the lower awareness level of the people. It is because of lack of communication. For example in an industry the reason for strikes is mainly an inbuilt communication gap, it can be between management and employees or employees and employees or management and the outside world.
I actually raised this topic to make students understood the importance of communication, relevant to engineering drawing as engineering drawing is the language of engineers and an engineer communicates with the help of drawing. So, to make them understood the importance of communication was necessary. It is a fact that many of the problems can be solved by proper communication.
In Mahabharata, Krishna knew it very well and that is why he tried to communicate that if Kaurvas could give only five villages the war could be dissolved. He tried everything to cease the fire. The war took place at last but the efforts for peace gave the message to the right or good people from the enemy side that the opposition doesn't want the war. That changes thinking of opposition, first of all, gives a right message and secondly increases the chances of winning. Ram also sent the message of peace and that was why gained sympathy and attracted some people from opposition towards him. Vibhishana was an example.
Today the problem like Kashmir or the problem of naxals is worsened because the communication with them is probably not going on. Both are necessary, communication and strict actions. And strict actions should not hinder communication. Communication is more important and listening is a necessary part of communication.
The thoughts above are purely mine. Many of you may disagree.
Posting the above as my tribute to the soldiers.

An excerpt

Following is an excerpt from my book 'I AM NOT NITIN’ - I could have more than billions of names by just replacement of time place and parents to which I am born. Our birth is just accidental. The name with which I identify much saying I am so and so and I belong to such a family is just accidental. So, I was born nameless but as a hope for my family. Someday this child could possibly raise the name of the family by becoming successful. I think every father and mother in this world asks this question to their child, "What will you become; A doctor or engineer, someone big." The question shows the longing of parents for their child to achieve something in society. And the name is just not a name; it is also a projection of this longing, this desire. In India, some of the families have a tradition of giving a name to the child ceremonially, and the ceremony is named as, ‘Naam karan sanskar’. The ceremony includes giving a name to the child by so...

Views of Napoleon Hill about Mahatma Gandhi

-
“Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battleships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER. How does he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi has accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCIN...
