Leadership, the Monk’s Way:

• To be a leader in any field, the essential thing is to build trust. Effective human endeavour needs many people’s collaboration. And that requires trust.
• The purpose determines the power to persevere

Business world needs to think more on people and a wealthy way of life, giving a purpose to their business on helping to build a better world. That probably would strengthen any company to get a worldwide appearance and recognition, bigger than any product or service it offers.
on Nov 7, 2009The younger generation is not the problem, its the elder generation who runs the education system who has played this havoc. Greed and more greed has led to a deletion of morals and ethics and we, the younger generation have no father figure or learning system or values to look up to, What we see is "money works" and hence we imbibe the routine of making more money. If the older generation would have given a thought to this earlier, the younger generation would have turned much more disciplined
on Oct 4, 2009The whole education system is oriented towards material values, not spiritual values and secular ethics. So, the younger generation can think only about money. And that leads to rapid lack of motivation and patience.
