In one of the most resplendent displays of discipline, commitment, focus and physical endurance, an embodiment of the power of #Women #NariShakti, Maj Shrishti Khullar of #ArmyMedicalCorps did the #AFMS proud by leading an all-women (#AFMS) contingent during the #RepublicDay2024 parade held today. The contingent comprising of Naval Medical Officer, Air Force Medical Officer, Dental officer and 144 officers of the Military Nursing Service #MNS marched on Kartavya Path giving salute to the Supreme Commander of the #ArmedForces. Indeed a gratifying moment for the entire #AFMS.

61 life lessons I wish I knew years ago:

1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever
2 to learn, unlearn, relearn and then change yourself is a superpower
3 you are not your job
4 networking is about giving
5 the best teacher is your last mistake
6 good manners is as important as good education
7 do not take your good health for granted
8 be a better friend and value relationships
9 if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
10 a work sponsor is more important than a mentor
11 a good story is data with a soul
12 stop worrying about what others think of you
13 if you want an easier life, work on harder problems
14 best teachers are life long students
15 imposter syndrome is real, and a good thing
16 fight against a sense of entitlement
17 half the battle is showing up
18 love and cherish your parents by giving them your time
19 success is not accidental
20 the best views are there for those who love the climb
21 lucky people work harder
22 takers may end up with more, but givers sleep better at night
23 memorizing is not learning
24 it is okay to look back, just don’t stare
25 knowing is not acting - I can > IQ
26 straight roads do not make great drivers
27 good listeners hear the unsaid (listen with your eyes)
28 be the person that you want to follow
29 do not limit your contribution to a job description 30 take care of your parents - the best gift that you can give yourself
31 customer service is not a department
32 in the long run, the optimists create the future
33 never ruin an apology with excuses
34 salary is for expenses. equity is wealth - do not rent your time.
35 do not take a caring boss, joyful work or steady income for granted
36 as you get older, you love your parents more
37 challenge assumptions, starting with your own
38 we learn more from disagreements
39 best gift you can give yourself is quality time with parents
40 the older you get the less you care about what others think of you
41 be a good person but do not waste time trying to prove it
42 be comfortable with saying ‘I don’t know’ - there are no experts of tomorrow
43 being self-aware is a key to learning and growth; know yourself
44 first, invest in yourself, then help others win
45 if the answer is no, do not say maybe or yes
46 Don’t just translate, write something new and original; write for yourself - writing improves your thinking
47 It’s more important to do the right thing than to win an argument
48 do not buy your children what you never had, teach them what you never knew
49 begin with the end in mind
50 to make progress on your to-do list, you must also keep a to-don’t list
51 leave everything and everyone better than you found them
52 be kind and polite to everyone

53 Here’s how luck finds you:
—Work harder than expected
—Stay teachable
—Give without expecting a get
—Read and write more
—Show up on time
—Focus on your customers
—Develop good manners
—Be humble
—Be kind and generous
—Surround yourself with smarter people

54 The bosses we remember:
—provided us a safe space to grow
—opened career doors
—defended us when we needed it
—recognized and rewarded us
—developed us as leaders
—inspired us to stretch higher
—led by example
—told us our work mattered
—forgave us when we made mistakes

55 The older you get, the more quiet you become. Life humbles you so deeply as you age. You realize how much nonsense you’ve wasted time on.
56 Hire based on high rate of learning and good judgment
57 straight lines do not make great drivers
58 stand in the middle of the road for too long and you may get hit from both sides - be decisive
59 if you do not know the answer, it is okay to say 'I don't know, but I will find out'
60 do not follow or admire mean people - be the person that you would want to follow
61 the decisions you made 5-10 years ago shaped where you are today; decisions you make now will shape where you’ll be in 5-10 years
