It is recommended that you before filling up the form online, you download the Form PDF and print it and write on it. Because it is proven that when we write , we reflect and introspect better and more mindfully and this leads to better self-awareness, self-discovery and self-development. You need to ideate – create, architect and nurture your own life and path and when you put pen to paper, your thoughts flow better and you reflect better to unleash your unlimited heroic potential.

Why WRITING by hand is most essential and important?

Writing by hand, strengthens the learning by thinking and reflection process. When typing on a keyboard this process may be impaired. When we are writing by hand, our brain received feedback from our motor actions. This feedback enhances our thinking process and makes our thoughts better. This happens the moment our pen touches the paper and great ideas, insights and thoughts start flowing. Global Research studies have proven this and show that there is real value in learning and maintaining this ancient skill as a life skill and soft skill. Writing longhand is also a work-out. Not a workout for the hand or wrist , but for the brain. According to research and this was also published in the Wall Street Journal, this simple ancient skill is the most compelling way to use our Pre-Frontal Cortex (our logical , rational part of the brain which most of us use very rarely) and best way to continuously progress our motor skills, enhance our memory, improve our mindfulness, advances our ability to think better. This is a simple lesson to use this form with pen and paper before you fiill it online. This will inspire solid character that is within you and help to unleash your unlimited, heroic potential.

Testimonials

“When I first saw the form, I was over 60 years old and retired. Jerry nudged me to read the form and reflect when I was chosen for the Karmaveer Puraskaar award. The form gave me a clear vision for my retired life. Every 3 to 4 months I revisit this form and get more clarity for the rest of my life. With the help of the questions in the form, I choose to make some difficult decisions that I had conveniently ignored. Questions in the form helped me make my decisions without any fear to be a part of the National Advisory Council of the Planning Commission and then serve in the Rajya Sabha to serve the nation. “

Anu Aga

Captain of Industry and Chairperson of Thermax India Limited

Dear Col. Dutta,
Note: Colonel. Sanjeev Dutta (veteran) is the REX Karmaveer Global Fellowship Founding Curator.
I would like to first of express my gratitude for nominating me for the coveted Karmaveer Chakra (instituted with UN) and the REX Karmaveer Global Fellowship (RKGF) 2015 -16, this indeed is a very proud moment for me and I’m feeling very privileged. I have made a sincere effort to answer the questions in the questionnaire and the journey has had an immense impact on me. The questions are beautifully designed to reflect on one’s beliefs, value system, journey from where i began, where i am today and where i see myself in the future – it’s a complete self-realization experience and I felt as if i were writing an autobiography (which i might now consider writing). I’m indebted for life for providing me such an insightful experience. I must now confess that of all the questions I’ve been able to find time to authentically answer only the 1st 15 questions and i feel due to the pressure of my newly initiated assignments I will not be able to do justice to answering more question in the given time. I’m sharing with you my thought process so far and would request you to please allow me to take time to answer such life impacting questions. I completely understand that this might disqualify me from the honour bestowed upon me but I would still want to answer these questions meaningfully rather than frivolously as this form is a big award by itself.
I hope you understand my thoughts and that I hold the nomination in high regard and feel very blessed to be considered for such a great honour.
Warm Regards
Meenakshi

Dr. Meenakshi Uberoi

Education Evangelist & Founding Director De Pedagogics – nurturing education

My daughter Bani and I have been fortunate to attend Jerry’s leadership sessions. I attended the one he conducted at the Microsoft office and my daughter attended his session in school. Jerry has helped us both to see things in a different light with his simple insights and pedagogy. I have become more affirmative and encouraging with people and cognizant on my work- life- play balance. Bani has lost her inhibitions and shyness and become more confident and outspoken. When Jerry nominated Bani for the REX Karmaveer Global Fellowship and shared the form with us, the questions not only helped Bani to gain a clear path in her life but also helped me to understand what I need to focus on and what I need to let go. The questions in the form are very powerful

“Jerry, I have a humble request regarding my nomination. I read through the website and trivia booklet to learn more about the criteria for the Karmaveer Puraskaar awards. I agree with Dr. Verghese Kurien that the Karmaveer award is the most credible honour, because of your guiding principles of egalitarianism, simplicity, austerity, fairness and integrity. I have huge respect for Dr. Verghese Kurien, who was a dear friend and your first lifetime achievement award recipient. Therefore, I feel, that I need to do more in my personal capacity, to deserve the lifetime achievement award which all of you have nominated me for.
I would therefore request you to kindly accept my regrets, since I would not like to accept the lifetime achievement award at this time. Let me do more to serve the nation and society. Let me begin add value as your chief believer and ambassador to promote the International Volunteering Olympiad. Once I have done that, I shall consider myself to be more worthy and deserving for the lifetime achievement award. Till then you may nominate me for the forthcoming year as your Rex Karmaveer Global Fellow. I would love to be a part of the fellowship and attend the Rex Forum as your chosen fellow. I assure you, that I shall adhere to the No VIP culture and shall blend in as one of your many fellows. I shall participate as a silent spectator, to learn and collaborate with all other like-minded fellows in the gathering. I also agree to attend the Rex Forum, without any security entourage. The REX Karmaveer Global Fellowship form has given me great insights and I want to devote the rest of my life to inspire the students and youth of this country to volunteer and make a difference. ”

“I was pleasantly surprised to receive my Karmaveer nomination. While filling the form I realised that the high profile delegations I lead to India and other developing countries, can contribute more than money with their time and involvement. I have been inspiring them all since then and am grateful to Jerry for coaching me and advising us to add more value through our several delegations.”

Thank you once again for the lessons in public speaking and for teaching me to build my capabilities as a speaker. I feel immense gratitude for all your efforts and support, everytime I speak in conferences and receive a standing ovation.”

“Jerry and Col. Dutta, I found a lot of value in the fellowship form to unravel the thoughts in the innermost wilderness of my mind that I had neglected along the way in the whirlwind of day to day functioning. Many more mountains to climb literally and metaphorically speaking. Thank you for telling my story in your Karma Kurry book. We have received awe-inspiring response from many readers from around the world, who have reached out to support our Giraffe Heroes initiative. I am now inspired to take the Giraffe Heroes movement beyond the US and into several countries and would like to use the form for the Giraffe Heroes project also. Hope I get your consent for the same.”
