தோன்றின் புகழொடு தோன்றுக அஃதிலார்
தோன்றலின் தோன்றாமை நன்று.
(குறள் 236: புகழ் அதிகாரம்)
The meaning of this kural is : Before entering a profession or deed, a person must learn the required skills, a comprehensive knowledge and be sure that they earn fame through what they venture into. If that’s not possible, it is better not to venture as such.
'தோன்றின் புகழொடு தோன்றுக' set the tone for our first meeting in 2018 on 7th January. Dr.S.Subramanian, renowned Oncologist, Chairman of VS Hospitals Chennai and Father in law of our president Dr.V.Ramakrishnan, addressed our NCC meeting at TSM, Madurai. He was suitably introduced by his beloved grand daughter Ms.Krithikavalli Ramakrishnan who is just completing her MBBS under the able guidance and inspiration of her grandfather.
Dr.SS outlined the traits of Nagarathar's : Though Nagarathar's are often identified / recognized by their unique names, initials, phonetics, food style, hospitality and palatial houses, it is their humbleness, honesty and reliability that sets them apart. நாகரத்தார்கள் நாணயமானவர்கள். The spiritual connect of Nagarathar's motivated them to involve in various charities for the welfare of public - be it construction / maintenance of temples and ponds or educational institutions. Their contribution to the language of Tamil has been lauded by many poets in various literatures. Infact, Nagarathars have become the role model for many in the society.
Though Dr.SS was a medical professional, post his retirement he started off with VS Hosptials at Chennai. Ably managed by his two sons, Dr.SS continues with his passion - Healing Patients.
Here are few tips that Dr.SS gave for the budding entrepreneurs:
• Before venturing into entrepreneurial journey, prepare yourself for HARDWORK.
• Involve WHOLE HEARTEDLY.
• Though Nagarathars are intelligent by birth (thanks to the commerce that is in their blood), it is worth breaking up the factors that can influence success: They are:
o IQ - Intelligent Quotient
o EQ - Emotional Quotient
o SQ - Spiritual Quotient
Intelligent quotient comprises Academic Intelligence + Worldly Knowledge + Common Sense.
Emotional Quotient refers to Emotional Stability / ability to remain neutral.
Spiritual Quotient includes Humanity, Empathy and Chasity.
• Having known for honesty and reliability, it is essential that Nagarathars retain these traits in their business practice and maintains the quality of product / services.
With embedded entrepreneurial qualities and calculated risk taking abilities, Dr.SS encouraged members to explore opportunities and succeed in life. He summed up saying that - "If you need growth - then you need to CHANGE".
Listening to someone of his stature was a huge opportunity. NCC Members were enlightened with his advise. Here is the video of his address to NCCians @ Madurai.
