"In the years since I took Professor Rao’s course, a day hasn’t gone by where I haven’t utilized the teachings"

Genuine and sincere thanks to Professor Rao, the TAs and the members of this class. I’ll stop there because, quite frankly, words are inadequate to describe the nature of my gratitude…There was so much I liked, so much I benefited from…Every week Professor Rao had a few words of wisdom that inevitably stuck like glue…He just slipped these things in there and collectively they changed my life 
In the years since I took Professor Rao’s course, a day hasn’t gone by where I haven’t utilized the teachings. On several occasions, I have used strategies learned in his course to obtain employment that perfectly suited my requirements at the time. The results can be so powerful as to appear uncanny. The exercises and supplemental readings he [Srikumar Rao] exposed us to have led me to enhanced performance on the job through greater concentration and less emotional attachment to outcomes, and have dramatically improved my relationships with my family and friends in noticeable ways.
