I have many people, especially my father who influenced me in my life. Because of him, in my childhood I could get an opportunity to read the autobiographies of the great world leaders which were gifted to him by the social activists. I get fascinated when I read and hear the great speeches of the world leaders. Even today I get thrilled when I listen the speech which was ranked the top of American speech of 20th century, 'I have a dream.....' given by Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28 of 1963; one of the most famous moments of the civil rights movement.
Influenced by the great leaders, I have acquired power to say 'No'
No to what?: Favours
No to what?: Against the interest of the Organisation
This has allowed me to value myself and given me the energy and resilience to lead effectively.
I have exercised this power while leading informal and formal organisations.
Informal organisation: General Secretary of Government Polytechnic Teachers' Association, President of National Federation of Polytechnic Teachers' Association, other social, cultural and students' organisations.
Formal Organisation: Principal of Government and Non Government Institutes.
I am always available to help and guide you; even to lead you.
