    1. STAND ON YOUR OWN FEET Contributors DONT depend on

    OTHERS to give them AID.

    They take up CHALLENGES in front ofthem and develop their own solutions.

    Real education is that which enablesone to stand on ones own legs.

    The education that you are receivingnow in schools and colleges is onlymaking you a race of dyspeptics. Youare working like machines merely, and

    living a jelly-fish existence.

    We want that education by whichcharacter is formed, strength of mindis increased, the intellect isexpanded and by which one canstand on ones own feet.

    Stand up, be bold, and take theblame on your own shoulders.

    Within man is all knowledge, and itrequires only an awakening, and thatmuch is the work of the teacher.

    2.CREATE RESULTS Swami Vivekananda was extremely

    result-oriented.

    He expected that individuals do not

    merely work, but work in order to

    achieve results and create value forthemselves and society.

    Fill the brain, therefore, with high

    thoughts, highest ideals, place themday and night before you, and out of

    that will come great work.

    3.DIVE DEEP

    Swami Vivekananda wanted each of us

    to plunge whole heartedly into the taskat hand.

    It is only through such single-mindeddevotion can excellence be achieved.

    Take up one idea. Make that one ideayour life think of it, dream of it, live onthat idea.

    Let the brain, muscles, nerves, everypart of your body, be full of that idea,and just leave every other idea alone.

    This is the way to success...

    You cannot hope to make a man a surgeonby simply giving him a few books.

    First hear, then understand, and then,leaving all distractions, shut your minds tooutside influences, and devote yourselvesto developing the truth within you.

    Getting by heart the thoughts of others in aforeign language, and stuffing your brainwith them and taking some university

    degrees, you consider yourselveseducated! Fie upon you! Is this education?

    4. ACT WITH UNSELFISH

    MOTIVES Swami Vivekananda disliked

    small-minded and fearfulselfishness.

    He wanted us to be large,unselfish, and therefore freeand bold in all our dealingswith the world.

    We will have to help eachother, but we have to go onestep farther: the first thing is tobecome unselfish in help.

    So help whenever you can, but mindwhat your motive is.

    If it is selfish, it will neither benefit those

    you help, nor yourself. If it is unselfish, it will bring blessings

    upon them to whom it is given, and

    infinite blessings upon you, sure as youare living.

    Give what you have to give; it will comeback to you but do not think of that

    now, it will come back multiplied athousandfold but the attention must notbe on that. Yet have the power to give:give, and there it ends.

    5. EXPAND YOUR HEART No individual can be a contributor if

    he/she is self-centered and uncaringabout others.

    Therefore,to be a contributor, we must

    first expand our hearts. Through the heart comes inspiration.

    Love opens the most impossible gates; it

    is the gate to all the secrets of theuniverse.

    There are more than two hundred

    millions of men and women sunken in

    poverty and ignorance. Who feels for them? They cannot find

    light or education.

    Let these people be your God think of

    them, work for them, pray for them

    incessantly the Lord will show you the

    way.

    FEEL, therefore, my would-be reformers,my would-be patriots!

    6. INTEGRITY IS THE

    FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS

    Swami Vivekananda felt that without

    trust and integrity, no work could be

    accomplished.

    These are the foundations of sustainable

    results in our career.

    Every successful man must have behind

    him somewhere tremendous integrity,tremendous sincerity, and that is the cause

    of his signal success in life.
