PRINCIPALSPEAK When I am wrong, make me easy to change, and when I am right, make me easy to live with.” This is a good philosophy to live by. It would bring about the transformation we seek, for we would have undergone a change ourselves. We need to take the right path with an open mind. Rob, the CEO at Toyota, wanted to bring in rapid changes and felt he had the gift to see what’s wrong with everyone else. But he soon realized that if you want to change the world, you just have to change yourself. “That has been very humbling, because I realized that nine out of ten problems in my organization, it’s always been me. Now, I see that. So, I work on myself and I find I have a bigger impact than when I was trying to work on other people.” So, he began to listen, he began to learn to give his employees freedom, realized their commitment and appreciated it, and in the process was able to appreciate his own honesty. Our perceptions mould our values, making them relative. The story of a Brahmin amply exemplifies this. A Brahmin priest was returning home after taking his customary dip in the sacred river. He was chanting mantras as he told the beads of his rosary. On reaching the road, he noticed a donkey lying dead, apparently the victim of a motor accident. Deeply disturbed by the sight, he remarked, “The killer of this innocent animal will surely go to hell.” While he was cursing thus, someone came up from behind and tapped his shoulder. He informed the priest that his own son had killed the donkey. The Brahmin replied, “Actually, the animal is relieved from the chain of life and death, and will surely go to heaven.” The story proves that it is so easy to manipulate, shift blame or change the complexion of an issue, thereby making a mockery of ‘truth’ and suppressing the voice of our conscience, which serves as the inner compass. The recent Al Qaida bomb blast in Istanbul, resulting in so many deaths, makes us question the peace processes. The countries taking the lead in eradicating violence and terrorism need to understand that there should be honesty in the effort, or else the attempt remains just a show. “If a man wants pearls, he has to dive deep into the sea or be content with the pebbles on the shore.” We need to awaken in us the ‘Joan of Arc’, who was inspired by voices within, which made her face all cruel criticism with courage and faith in her conviction. Her honesty and integrity brought honour to the nation, proving that even an individual can be an agent of social and national transformation. Finding the truth within is like discovering a hidden compass in your pocket. You no longer need to ask others for directions. You need to remove the obstacles that prevent you from finding this invaluable asset. What are these obstacles? Not wanting to change inwardly is one. An unwillingness to forgive others and yourself another one; and believing that you have this treasure; and there is nothing more to experience a third. Just change one unproductive habit for a week and see the powerful forces that will change you internally. This is sure to change your perception as well as your relationship with others. Keeping in mind that the inner determines the outer, you will find that the more you change, the more the world changes. Give yourself the scope of experimenting with different ways of reacting and responding to situations. Try a new emotional response and address yourself to the need of the situation. It is never too late to start. Remember whenever you switch on the light in your room, however long it may have been in darkness, it lights up. In listening to your inner voice and changing yourself, you will find a refreshing new sense of self emerge. So, discover your inner compass and go all the way. Whatever you have wished for is waiting for you. Tread the path with an open mind… Madhu Chandra, Principal,
