very typical talk for TEDx but I’m going
to share with you ideas and more so in
the last part of my talk and able to
share my experience with you and that
experience sharing I feel in necessary
because you must know each one of you
must know how to succeed in life you
come to that okay
I don’t I am family which has been
serving the nation for four generations
right
it’s next week I’m the only officer in
Union Army who has received three
citations for combating literacy know
that these are the three citations next
week this is one big problem the country
faces today and I am going to share my
idea as to how should we think about
this particular Minnis how did I succeed
because I feel that my success has been
every day you must be reading even
yesterday must’ve read and heard the
television that by combating the
terrorists some soldier has given the
supreme sacrifice of his life for the
country it is my considered opinion that
every time we go into battle we should
be so well trained and we should be so
well managed that we should not lose
lines of even a single through is it
right if you want to do that you need to
do the first in clean operations and
what I mean by clean operation is
ensuring safety for yourself and it is
not easy dust is not easy because you do
not know that the terrorists or your
enemy where is it going to come from
how is it going to fight you when you’re
going to fire at you from next the
biggest thing which is being misused
today I guess the country for
propagating terrorism is misuse of a
religion I particularly feeling that
this misuse of religion is one thing
which we should be able to pull it off I
have done a successful experimentation
respecting the faith and understanding
the religion by everybody is very
essential I will be following a
particular faith I am a follower
Hinduism I have an Ingo iPhone but if I
am going to work with people who belong
to some other religion then I must
understand their psychology I must
understand their religion I must respect
that also so that I am able to work well
and for doing that one needs to interact
with each one of them read and
understand the holy scriptures of that
particular religion and then be able to
interact and work with people by
following that we need
I have read Quran number of times
read these number of times and I use
that to sort of do it by doing that what
did I achieve any terrorism or any type
of activity of this nature can only
survive with the help of local support
by local support what I mean is the
support of the local people in that area
if that local support is not there it is
not easy for the terrorists to survive
the success was so great that we were
able to get lot of support from the
local people which helped us to overcome
this problem one example is we got a
specific information about 100 kgs of
RDX which was brought to blow the most
important tunnel which makes the Jammu
region with the stated original footage
you can you can’t imagine hundred pages
of RDX what it can do
it can have nearly 100 major explosions
for extra it was buried in one of the
hill talks in SLO about 20 feet deep
when we got this information we shared
that civilians they felt that it could
not be returned but he said no it’s
fight of so much of slow we will take it
out because there the time if they come
to know that you have got to know maybe
they will take it out insertion were
next so much was the success that in a
area which was totally empty are made to
clean and to India we came to a
situation when women folk who normally
do not interact or made of the words of
communicate with the men folk of the
other religion or the army or other
people thousands of thousands of women
this lady I want to highlight if you see
this part of her hand that the tape
there she was the mother of other senior
terrorists she was admitted in a
hospital she was being administered did
you know cause she came out to the
hospital of her wound only two tigers
that is the kind of sentimental
attachment that you can e again
connection you have to make sappy
connection a situation can come where
people will be willing to support you
and defy the Americans correction bonus
we also had a situation where there was
a major action planned by the terrorists
on behind it and one of the sister of
the terrorist herself helped us through
besides this it is new quest to be
nurtured they are the ones over the next
generation if we do not attend to them
in the coming times which we allow their
ideas to get hardened up then we’ll be
losing an opportunity for next I want to
narrate the small incident I came to
know that two young people two young
boys from a village where we were there
just near that they had gone to Pakistan
to get trained as tennis as soon as I
came to know I told the Serpent’s that I
want to meet the village entire
relationship with it he organized that
and I went there normally when such a
thing happened people used to the police
and other security forces there is to
trouble the family buy-in you allow them
to go you must have sent them absolu adi
got a talkative object image of india
something of that sort I went and spoke
to them and what I told them all that no
mother or no father
what’s their son who get killed
everybody know that anybody who becomes
a terrorist has to die within three to
five years so I am very sure no mother
no father wants to send their children
to become tennis I am very sure that the
mother must have made a lot of efforts
to bring them back or not allow them to
go the father also must have tried but
not in the question of our credibility
the entire day he must try all of us
should join hands we have to bring those
people back those two boys have to come
back we will not allow them to become
terrorists the power of love and
government itself has to use to bring
them and not allow them to become
terrorists there was fear and
apprehension that if they come back
since they were born across then they
might be elevated they might be trouble
they might
by some people by the police or somebody
I said don’t worry we’ll take care of
that one day before Diwali the entire
village got together they might eat me
when they fighting me I went to the
people started speaking and they spoke
as to how good jobs we were doing and
then they said is that all the money hey
put the money got tougher than a
chocolate we want to give you a gift of
the office and what they brought back
was we got them a job they are working
well after ten years of that last year
they went back again to for some other
job and my happiness makes the boys came
to meet me and tell me sir we are so
grateful to you that you helped us to
live life I went to mudra I was in
charge of the NCC in mudra and NCC in
Gujarat was competing with the other
states in international competition the
results was not so good but gradually we
prepared our Dean’s and some of the
young people they did so very that a
situation was there when our wonderful
Prime Minister himself that is moving he
came to find a state those young boys
and girls so NCC is one youth organizer
which is doing excellent job today I am
heading another a new formulation which
is known as we may who you work in the
sun-eater it is a pan in the
organization which has its offices in
every state every district headquarters
every block we have paid for it gives
you volunteers and you’re working
through youth clubs the high number of
acting period whether it is 4 so that is
adventure with the leadership
development with a restorative
new parliaments huge number things it is
the youth whom being barred great who’s
going to carry our country tomorrow if
you want a strong country if you want a
nation to be progressing in your nation
to be developing each single young
person has to endeavor it is their
collective capability and success which
is going to define the success of the
country now this is the main part of the
talk main part of the progress what is
the universal desire what does everybody
want that whether it is speaker listener
it is one who’s conducting whereas
somebody outside what do you think that
everybody wants happiness
everybody wants happiness whether it is
Yangon wood working or not working
wherever you are you want happiness how
are you going to get happiness how are
you going to get happiness somebody just
answered some dancer
somebody just answered happiness is
going to come by only one thing and that
is success you’re doing something you
succeed you will get happiness you don’t
succeed you may not give up you may
continue to work but the happiness and
to the required degree that you wanted
may not know so if everybody wants to be
happy and if everybody wants that
happiness and it has to come from
success the question is in life how are
the question is in life how are you
going to succeed yeah my token enough
this is what I want to share it and this
is what I have been able to collect in
what 45 years of my life I took the
first contract of catering when I just
passed class late in the summer break
between classes and class night for the
first hundred Saturday in Delhi then
after I flipped from one kind of
business to another and I was one of the
what we first very very few people who
are exporting jewelry and you gotta find
is the kind of profit or email anybody
thousand percent Howard thousand percent
but then my family wanted me to do and
the armies were men Janome army and in
the last 40 45 years whatever I sort of
learn through experience that you
whatever I want to share with you how to
get success this is going to be
happiness whatever you may be doing you
may be running an NGO you may be running
a startup you will be only teaching you
may be doing anything or sir you will be
house license how to go out doing things
the first thing is character all of you
the all of you have heard and done that
it’s money lost wealth is lost
nothing is lost if help is lost
something is lost but if character is
lost everything is lost
so first and foremost and most important
is connected and what how do we know
whether characters okay otherwise are
doing sort of ensure that so the three
four think that is what is integrity of
course integrity of course and integrity
does not mean that only financial
integrity is – they’re more than
financial integrity it is the
intellectual integrity which consumers
it is the professional and degree degree
system there so integrity is the first
factor after integrity the second thing
is selflessness self lessness whatever
you bring as you rightly said that
you’re doing for the golden so do it
selflessly third thing is discipline and
I won’t say this with me I call it self
discipline why do I call it selfish men
because I am addressing the youth
wherever I go I’m addressing youth not
and most of the time people try to
disability and most of the time people
expect means for being from the Army who
also starts taking about disciplining I
am NOT speaking of this myth
I speak of self display and why do I
speak of self discipline I speak of self
discipline simply because I have seen
that every young person has to become a
leader and every leader has to sell
himself or herself and the last thing is
to avoid addiction addiction bad habits
whatever it may be in whichever form it
is today it is in the form of Facebook
what’s that some people are going to do
some other kind of intake whatever so
these four things put together put it
into director after having sorted out
that first four most basic foundation
block the second thing is your
confidence you want to write a code for
a computer program but you don’t know
how to write it that desire is anybody
can do it
so the competence is required and within
confidence there are three very clear
components very very clear components in
Barra is your knowledge you have to have
knowledge second is your skills and
third in your attitude if you do not
have the knowledge then you can start
you have the knowledge but you don’t
know how to do it and so on you don’t
have to do it vertically AmeriCorps gets
a nickname but I don’t know how to
actually do it so still is not there you
can’t do it
I am the competence or sorry in the
knowledge I have the skills but I don’t
I’m not willing I’ll do it tomorrow
whatever these three things put them
into confidence now it is very very
essential find time for everything
fine time even for your enemies love
them because they are the best people
who give you the ideas for improvement
go back to the biggest side whether it
is my president sorry Prime Minister
today body whether it is Jack Ma rather
Disney either are doing whether it is
Bill Gates notes you study any one of
them these few factors will come out
very very clearly everybody has those
six to eight hours of working time or
study time or college style or whatever
time it is the time after that then you
get the rest of the time how are you
going to use it and one factor I forgot
to tell you is failure management or
recreation management no fear –
everybody is going to fail don’t worry
about it everybody’s going to be it
somewhere or the other so don’t have the
apprehension and fear that something to
sort of how people will talk about it or
how they will feel about it don’t buy it
is going to be there with everybody but
plan went the way and have a confidence
thing going next
thank you if you know all that correctly
a lot of class not very clear it’s not
of success very dumb way away
I am very sure that each one of you has
a very clear vision towards your life
and I wish each one of you all the very best
