Prof. (Dr.) Raj Kumar Gupta emphasizes the importance of clarity and intent before embarking on any endeavor. He believes that before initiating any task, an individual must first seek answers to three fundamental questions: What to do? Why should I do it? and How to do it?, further he stresses that beyond these, the most critical feeling is: “want to do it”, according to him, the genuine desire or intrinsic motivation the “want to do” is the true driving force behind meaningful action and successful outcomes.
Additionally, he underscores a vital life philosophy, chase the work, not the money. He explains that when individuals commit themselves wholeheartedly to meaningful work, they find deeper satisfaction, purpose, and fulfillment. Ironically, by prioritizing quality work over material gain, they often achieve levels of success and financial reward that far exceed their expectations.
