Socrates told the young  man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met.
Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water.
The man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until he started turning blue. The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get out and the first thing he did was to gasp and take deep breath.
Socrates asked 'What you wanted the most when you were there?' The man replied 'Air'.
Socrates said  That's the Secret To Success.
When you want Success as Badly as you wanted Air, You Will Get It.
There Is No Other Secret.

Prof. Dr.S. Natarajan attended Robin Sharma's Leadership Workshop at Chennai on 25th February 2011.


Prof. Dr.S. Natarajan Vitreo is Retinal Surgeon. He attended Robin Sharma's Leadership Workshop at Chennai on 25th February 2011.

Dr. S. Natarajan ia a third generation Ophthalmologist did MBBS from Chennai. In 1982 he completed post graduation in Ophthalmology from Chennai & was trained as a Vitreo Retinal Surgeon, under Dr. S. S. Badrinath, at the Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. He started his practice since he was 28years, and set up his own Hospital “Aditya Jyot Eye Hospital Pvt. Ltd.” in the year 1990 and continued to serve as Chairman & Managing Director since then.  He is considered as one of the most proficient and high profile young surgeons involved in academics & innovations in clinical practice and have been honored with accolades from around the world. He is recipient of the American Academy achievement Award, Gusi Peace Award, Indira Gandhi Sadbhavna & many more. He holds the record for the 1st sutureless vitrectomy in the Limca book of records.

Old Patients usually compliment him that “he looks younger, than before but he dint knew the answer. After reading Mr. Robin Sharma's book he realized that he was doing the same. So he says “I am 53years old but I consider myself to be as 18”. He tells his patients that to stay young he eats chilies; he dances and always stays happy. He always tells his patients about Robin Sharma's philosophy that “fear is nothing more than a negative stream of consciousness. When you erase fear from your mind, you start looking younger and health becomes vibrant.”

He is follower of the 3 “F” rule faith, Fear and fraud. Where there is 100% faith, the fear cannot exist. Either there is faith or there is fear but not both together. But When in addition to faith one claims ‘it is human to worry’ it is fraud in totality. It is this fraud or suspicion attached to faith that keeps us sorrowful. Each one has to introspect and do self assessment. Blaming others or calling them frauds is not the right attitude. Be in faith, fear or fraud, each is a manifestation of our inner state and therefore each of them is a thought. Faith is a positive powerful thought. It can create miracles whereas fear, fraud and worry are negative thoughts.

He believe in the maxim “If you rest, you will rust” by Swami Chinmayananda & constantly strive to set new benchmarks, beating own records. He has done more than 25000 complicated vitreoretinal surgeries. He has trained more than 60 ophthalmologists to serve the community through Leadership Development Program at AIOS & AAO. He recently gave a 3 and a half hrs lecture at Welingkar Institute of Management Studies and research on Rajnikanth's philosophy of Management. He also believes in motivation like you do. He is also writing a book named “You Can Do It” to motivate youth. In his talks he always quote Mr. Robin Sharma.
 “The thoughts you are thinking today are creating the life you will be leading tomorrow.”                                                                                     -Robin Sharma
Technique of ridding mind of worry & other negative, life draining influences based on Yogi Raman (also called Opposition thinking)
            - Create a positive, creative mindset within short period
Process is straight forward:
            - Replace undesirable thought which occupies the focal point of your mind, immediately with uplifting one.
This can be achieved by:  Imagine
      - Your mind as slide projector & every thought in your mind as slide.
      - Whenever negative slide comes up on the screen
      - Swift action to replace it with a positive one
Everything is always created twice, first in the mind and then in reality. Start to live with unbridled energy and limitless enthusiasm. Be the person you dream of being.
Fear is nothing more than a negative stream of consciousness. When you erase fear from your mind, you start to look younger and your health becomes more vibrant.
Happiness comes through the progressive realization of a worthy objective of reach a state of perfect health. Ultimately ,you will reach your divine destiny ……for this is your birth-right.
