Young People are Like Wet Mud! We can make them Great!! Rev. Fr. Alwyn D’Souza
I’m sitting near the Lobos Riverview in Mangalore, surrounded by natural beauty. Young people, like wet mud, are flexible and open to new realities. They’re at the edge of the paradigm, ready to jump into the emerging new world.
Stephen Covey’s “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” highlights the rat race of speed. Young people are caught up in unrealistic speed, forgetting direction. Speed and steadiness are needed, not just rushing without a clear roadmap.
Today’s world values instant gratification, but we mustn’t lose direction. Values are caught, not taught. Mentorship and reference persons with strong value systems can guide us.
Practicing values like truthfulness may seem challenging, but it leads to genuine success. A simple lifestyle diminishes stress, anxiety, and promotes healthy living.
The Bible’s parable of the sower teaches us that evil may thrive temporarily, but good ultimately prevails. Evil has its own built-in destruction and collapses under its own weight.
Key takeaways:
Embrace flexibility and openness to new realities.
Balance speed with direction and clear goals.
Prioritize values and mentorship.
Live with dignity and integrity.
Focus on lasting happiness, joy, and peaceful living.
Are You One Among the Tireless People in Their Hectic Work Schedule? Do You Know That You Are Working in Machine Mode?
NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044
When others can do it, everyone can do it! Achieve the best in you within the given time and space of your performance regime.
Some people seem tireless in their work even when they handle many tasks at a time with precision and perfection. People around them also get charged as they handle everything with efficiency and energy. How do they do it? The answer lies in what we call “Machine Mode.” This is a state of productivity that allows individuals to tap into the full potential of their mind, using the combo of three interconnected minds: the Feeder Mind, Process Mind, and Chewing Mind.
Begin the journey with guided concentration practices befitting to your emotional constitution. Even at younger standards, we should give one to one attention when we train the students in building concentration. Masters should learn VAKOG as described in NLP themes before they streamline their teaching methodologies.
The emotional constitution of every person is very different from the persons who are sitting next. How can then we place them in what we call standards? That is not a problem to break our head. Look at your fingers. How beautifully the five fingers are placed in a combo project? What a meaningful programming of the universe. Art or arranging and power of spontaneity are lessons to be learned.
Explore the three minds for a step-by-step guide on how to enter Machine Mode to achieve your best results, even during a hectic work schedule. Rome is not built in a day or two. Achieving Machine Mode requires patience, consistency, and small, deliberate steps each day, much like the process of building Rome.
Gradually optimize each of the three minds; Feeder, Process, and Chewing. You will unlock peak performance over a period of time. Allow your minds to handle the most demanding work schedules with ease. Each mind plays a crucial role in gathering information, processing tasks, and reflecting on progress. Be consistent in practicing and fine-tuning each step. Steadily unlock your full potential.
The key to thriving in a hectic work environment is not about working harder, but working smarter by switching into Machine Mode. You can achieve it by making efforts to understand how your mind works and following a methodical approach. This helps you achieve greater productivity, balance, and fulfilment.
Understanding the Three Minds:
1. Feeder Mind
The Feeder Mind is very important. It should gather all the information you need through your five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. It is important to set your senses around right surroundings. This is the input stage, where data and experiences flow into your mind, shaping your understanding. Right kind inputs give the best output. Make sure that you are positioned at right environment.
How to optimize the Feeder Mind:
Sensory Awareness: Be aware of what you are seeing, hearing, and experiencing around you. Pay attention to the most important inputs and filter out distractions.
Focused Attention: Choose what to focus on, and stay well concentrated on it, minimizing interruptions from irrelevant sources.
2. Process Mind
The Process Mind is where you handle tasks, analyze information, and make decisions. It is the engine of productivity.
How to optimize the Process Mind:
Streamline Tasks: Make routine tasks easier by automating or organizing them. This frees up energy for more important work.
Effortless Processing: Strengthen your memory and cognitive skills through repetition and practice, which makes tasks smoother and faster over time.
3. Chewing Mind
The Chewing Mind helps you reflect on what you’ve done, evaluate progress, and adjust your direction. It’s the mind that ensures you are aligned with your goals.
How to optimize the Chewing Mind:
Purpose-Driven Goals: Link each task to your deeper goals and values. This will keep you motivated and purposeful. Keep adding newer goals through feeder minds. Also check the status of pending tasks during chewing times. Many times you may need to upgrade older memories with newer learnings.
Regular Reflection: Take a few moments to reflect on your progress and make any necessary changes to stay on track. Sometimes, you may need to reframe and reset your thought processes. At some times, you may be able to make a paradigm shift in your mind set. Certain blocks and disappear in such processes. Such things happen during deep reflection or during therapy sessions.
Step-by-Step Guide to Enter Machine Mode:
Activate the Feeder Mind:
Start by being more aware of your surroundings. Notice details that are relevant to your work, while avoiding distractions.
Set aside specific times in your schedule to focus solely on gathering information or experiences that will help you in your tasks.
Enhance the Process Mind:
Break down your tasks into micro smaller, more manageable parts. Create a clear system or workflow to streamline these activities.
Practice tasks that you want to excel in. The more you do them, the faster, better and more efficient your mind becomes at processing them.
Engage the Chewing Mind:
At the end of each day or week, take time to reflect on what you’ve achieved. Ask yourself if your actions are aligned with your long-term goals.
Make the chewing mind work on an ongoing basis. Adjust your goals or methods as needed, based on the feedback from your reflection.
Maintaining Balance and Equanimity:
To sustain this state of optimal productivity, it’s crucial to incorporate techniques and methods that maintain mental and emotional balance:
Emotional Surgical Practices: Engage in emotional surgical exercises leading to equanimity and selflessness. Vipassana Meditation is helpful to become more aware of your thoughts and emotions without getting overwhelmed by them.
Positive Self-Talk: Use Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to encourage yourself with supportive, positive inner dialogue.
Appreciative Inquiry: Regularly focus on your strengths, past successes, and potential opportunities, reinforcing a positive mind set.
Unlocking Your Potential:
By integrating your Feeder, Process, and Chewing Minds, you can unlock what seems like a superhuman level of efficiency and focus. Identify your strengths and passions. Align your work tasks with your core purpose and goals. Optimize your three minds with practice. Machine Mode becomes a natural part of your routine. This is the way to empower you to excel in any challenge you face.

“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I can recognize you and say thank you again. “
Selected by:BILL BEN
Indian billionaire Ratan Ji Tata when a radio presenter was asked in a telephone interview: “Sir, what do you remember when you found the happiest happiness in life”?
Ratan ji Tata said: “I have crossed four stages of life, finally I understood the meaning of true happiness. “
The first step is to accumulate wealth and resources. But at this stage I didn’t get the happiness I wanted.
Second phase of collecting valuables and things. But I realized that the effect of this matter is also temporary and the flash of valuable things won’t last long.
Then came the third phase to get the bigger project. Back then I had 95% diesel supply in India and Africa. I am also the owner of the largest steel factory in India and Asia. But even here I didn’t get as much joy as I expected.
Phase four, my friend asked me to buy wheelchairs for some disabled children. There are about 200 children. Bought wheelchairs immediately as per the request of a friend.
But buddy insisted I go with him and provide wheelchairs for the kids. I got ready and went with them. My hands gave wheelchairs to all the deserving kids out there. Strange joy on those kids faces. I saw them all in wheelchairs having fun.
I felt true happiness that day. One of the kids grabbed my leg as I was about to go back from there. I tried to gently free my leg, but the kid wouldn’t let go and he was staring me in the face and holding my leg tight. I leaned over and asked the child: Do you want anything else?
Then the answer that boy told me not only shocked me but changed my outlook on life completely.
The boy said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I can recognize you and thank you again. “
Unite for Prosperity, Keep the Diversities Intact, Become an Architect of Ideas | Global TV
NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044
Mahatma Gandhi, the visionary leader who spearheaded India’s independence movement, was not merely a political strategist. He was an Architect of Ideas, whose profound understanding of human nature and societal structures continues to inspire generations. Gandhi’s brilliance was most visible through initiatives like the Salt Satyagraha, where he united Indians across social, economic, and regional lines, demonstrating that collective action could dismantle even the mightiest of empires. Yet, his legacy goes far beyond political freedom; it extends to a vision of inclusive prosperity, equity, and unity. These are ideals that India, and the world, can still draw from today. No human is a liability today.
Gandhi’s Vision: A Society Built on Equality and Self-Sufficiency
At the heart of Gandhi’s ideas was a rejection of colonial exploitation and the associated theories of scarcity that kept nations dependent on external funding and economic mitigation. Funding is actually a means exploitation even today for so called advanced nations over other nations. Economic sanctions are imposed to make nations to heed to the demands of the big player nations. Our resources are drained out and our work forces are paid insignificantly low by using many of the economic theories that are based on the principles of scarcity.
Gandhi proposed the theory of abundance, which celebrated the vast potential of human and natural resources. His philosophy can be likened to the dynamics of a beehive, where each bee contributes to the whole, resulting in a surplus that benefits all. In this model, capabilities of the citizens drive growth. United they prosper and isolated everyone drain out and die in the one man’s island.
Gandhi’s emphasis on self-sufficiency was more than just a call to resist foreign goods; it was a blueprint for an economy where local initiatives and community driven efforts would create sustainable wealth. True happiness, according to Gandhi, could only be found through inner fulfillment and shared prosperity, not through the amassing of material wealth. We should become human beings with humanitarian value systems and compassionate human nature. Wealth shared are the wealth multiplied. We should learn the art of creating shared wealth. We can create any amount of wealth when we all become the Architects of Ideas. Work on an idea that can create wealth and share it equitably to the stakeholders. Can we keep transparency in our proceedings and add value to the existing wealth?
The Relevance of Gandhi’s Ideas Today
India, like much of the world, faces unprecedented challenges. Rising inequality, hunger, unemployment, and environmental degradation. In addressing these issues, Gandhi’s vision offers valuable lessons. Today’s politicians are all united and one with each other in degenerating wealth and to share its outcome in the form of foreign investments. They do not understand things beyond infrastructure and modern buildings. Luxury has to be tangible for them and they all believe as they are going to be in the limelight for centuries. Even their children disrespects them since they are aware of their true colours and sources of wealth.
India needs Architects of Ideas, who can combine the principles of inclusivity, social cohesion, and sustainability to build a prosperous future. These visionaries must recognize the strength in India’s diversity. They should ensure every person with prosperity and respect. Everyone is valued, heard, and uplifted.
Cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity is its greatest strength of India. Gandhi knew this. His notion of Sarvodaya is presented even today in many forms. The welfare of all but remain in false promises. For Gandhi, it was not merely a slogan but a deeply held conviction that true progress comes when no one is left behind. Every human being is a wealth of capabilities. We should create avenues and opportunities for people to take part in the process of wealth creation.
Key Principles for Modern Architects of Ideas
Inclusive Economy: Today’s leaders must ensure that opportunities are not restricted to a privileged few but available to all, irrespective of socio-economic status, caste, gender, or background. This requires systemic changes in policy and attitude, with an emphasis on creating equitable access to education, healthcare, and employment. We should avoid all kinds of disparities in the world.
Collective Growth: Just as Gandhi emphasized self-sufficiency for villages, the modern economy should focus on collective growth. Collaboration across sectors should become informal, flexible and collective. Whether in agriculture, industry, or technology, we should encourage people to build an economy that benefits all. Mutual support within communities, and between communities, strengthens the fabric of society. Let people be unified for the purpose of prosperity for all.
Social Cohesion: Gandhi was deeply committed to unity, even in the face of vast differences. Social cohesion remains essential in a world increasingly divided by ideology, ethnicity, and economics. By fostering dialogue, understanding, and equality, India can retain its diversity while shaping various paths to prosperity. What can be done together for all should be our appreciative inquiry.
Self-Sufficiency: Gandhi’s message of local empowerment rings true today. Localized production, sustainable agriculture, and the promotion of small and medium enterprises can counter the concentration of wealth in large corporations and reduce dependency on the unpredictable global markets.
Inner Happiness: Gandhiji understood that personal fulfillment comes from within, not from external wealth. Today’s Architects of Ideas must balance economic progress with well-being, ensuring that spiritual, emotional, and mental health are prioritized alongside material success. Mind matters a lot.
Uniting for Prosperity with Diversity at the Core
It is essential to harness the richness of India’s diverse communities. We should adopt Twin City campaigns and Twin District development models to unite our people for prosperity by keeping the diversities intact. Gandhi’s vision was one where harmony thrived not in uniformity, but in the respectful coexistence of differences. The future leaders and Architects of Ideas must embrace the concept of using diversity as a resource for innovation, and collective problem-solving.
Becoming an Architect of Ideas: A Call to Action
The call to action is clear: India, and indeed the world, needs individuals who can think beyond personal gain and envision a future where prosperity is shared, diversity is celebrated, and collective effort is valued over individual success. Gandhi’s legacy provides a guiding light. His ideas remain relevant, especially for those who wish to transform society through thought, action, and leadership.
To become an Architect of Ideas, one must first recognize the potential in every person, every community, and every idea. It requires deep understanding of the interconnectedness of humanity, and the courage to challenge the status quo. Let us work for the greater good even in the face of opposition.
By embracing the principles of inclusion, self-sufficiency, social cohesion, and collective happiness, today’s visionaries at the district level can build a world around them where prosperity is a shared reality, not a distant dream. In doing so, they will honour the spirit of Gandhi, uniting people in a common quest for a brighter, more equitable future where all can thrive, and none are left behind.
Gandhiji had inspired a nation to unite for freedom. Modern Architects of Ideas should inspire a generation to unite for prosperity. Let us be united in keeping the beauty of our diversity intact. Let us create wealth and share it with all.
