feedback from a full time academic:
I have had the pleasure of
knowing Major Rajan for almost twelve years now. He has
been a source of inspiration and support to my family.
He has had a very positive influence on both my
children. Major Rajan has the knack of interacting with
teenagers in a sensitive way that ensures a positive
outcome. He takes time to understand their particular
problems and is able to alleviate a lot of their
anxieties through his positive mentoring. He never talks
down to teens but demonstrates his genuine engagement
with their difficulties, thus endorsing their
self-esteem. This is an invaluable asset in my
opinion. One of his great strengths is the passion and
unfailing enthusiasm he brings to his mentoring. He does
not do things in half-measures. This deep engagement
with teenagers guarantees his success with them. My
children are very fond of him and owe a lot of their
success to his guidance and ! help.

a fathers day message from Rajan's son
Hi Dad,
Just realised that it's been
so long since I've written one of these Father's Day
cards. Hence I thought I should go back in time and
write you u card like I used to.
I've never thanked you
enough for the wonderful 22 years I've had with you.
From the early days where I used to wait for the animal
shadows you'd make with your hands on the Toa Payoh
Bedroom wall to the stories about Indian men running
around in "bed sheets". Even until today, your tales
(fact or fiction), never fails to amuse.
But what's close to my
heart, is all the love you show and give us by working
ever so hard to provide to the family. And with all that
you do and have gone through, you never fail to motivate
us to do our very best in life, whatever our pursuits
might be.
If you never knew , now know
that you've been a great dad to the both of us and that
we love you....
Happy Father's Day 2002 !

a note from a former medical intern
Dear Rajan,
I'm really happy to hear
that you've finally got into the thing that you've
been so passionate about all these years. I logged
onto your website and seeing all those photographs
brought a heap of memories flooding back. I remember
the time almost ten years ago, when I had just
graduated and starting work as an intern, being
influenced by a considerable amount of negativity
and most of all fear of failure. Meeting with you
and just listening to what you said - 'failure is an
event, not a person', 'you are what you think
you are' and I remember you introducing me to
"Awaken the Giant Within". I suppose its not only
what you said but you said it with so much passion
that really perked my interest. All of these had a
tremendous impact on my attitude. I've had failures
but most importantly your encouragement to
'visualise and see myself achieving what I want'
kept me going. In 1996, I saw myself achieving my
immediate goals of passing the exams I had set out
to do and start a new life Down Under.
In 2000, we arrived here
and were not looking back. I suppose the thing that
I'm most grateful to you for is your opening up to
me the concept that 'you're not stuck with what you
are, you can change' and seeing the world of
opportunities that start with changing one's
attitude. I would like to wish you all the best in
this 'journey' that you have embarked!
Cheers!

an
encouraging note from a sister
My dear brother,
I am very pleased to note that your dream has
come true , setting up your own motivational
training consultancy after all these 20 years of
motivating family members and relatives.... I
saw you on Channel 5 ,The Good Times on 20th May
2004 where you once again reiterated your
passion to help others ......I know that
the word 'retirement' is not in your vocabulary.
........Would you believe
it - when I did my Royal College Membership exams in
London - I was almost touching 50years!!! - a good 20
years older than all the others. And even
now, I can't remember the name for the technique -
I still use the 'finger-thumb trigger' you taught me
before each and every presentation I make.
You have changed the course of my life completely and in
your constant, sometimes - sorry to say this - nagging
way, helped me become what I am today. I do hope
you will be able to guide others, hopefully much younger
people, and introduce them to the simple principles you
taught me that can actually make such a pronounced
difference in one's life.
With loving regards,
