the disruption of peace of the world”

50. ATTITUDE contributes to Success
ATTITUDE contributes to
Success
A study attributed to
Harvard University found that
When a person gets a job or a promotion
85% - because of his attitude, and only
15% - of the time because of
intelligence and knowledge of
facts & figures.

51. David & Goliath
Goliath: Why don’t you stand up
and fight the Giant ?
Others : Don’t you see
he is too big to hit ?
Goliath: No. He is not too big
to hit.
He is too big to Miss.
Same Giant, different perceptions !!!

52. ATTITUDE is the foundation
The Calgary Tower
has a total weight of 10,884 tons,
of which 6,349 tons
i.e. 60% is below ground.
Just like a great building
stands on a great foundation,
so does success.
And the foundation of success
is ATTITUDE !

53. Why don’t we Change ?
• Change is Uncomfortable.
• Change can often be Stressful.
• Change seems Impossible.
• We prefer to stay Negative.

54. How do you build a
Positive ATTITUDE ?
Awareness of principles that
build a positive attitude.
Desire to be positive.
Discipline and dedication to
practice those principles.

63. The difference between
the poor countries and
the rich ones
isNOT
the age of the country.

64. This can be explained :
Countries like India & Egypt,
are thousands of years old
and yet are poor.

65. On the other hand,
Canada,
Australia and
New Zealand,
that were unknown
few hundreds of years ago
today are developed countries
and are rich.

66. The difference between
poor and rich countries
does not reside in the
available natural resources.

67. Japan
has a limited territory,
80% mountainous, prone to earthquakes,
inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising,
but it is the second world economy.
The country is like
an immense floating factory,
importing
raw material from the whole world and
exporting
manufactured products.

68. Switzerland
Does not plant cocoa but
has the best chocolate of the world.
In its little territory they raise animals and plant
the soil during 4 months per year, but
they produce dairy products of the best quality.
It is a small country that transmits
an image of security, order & labor,
which made it the world’s strong safe.

69. What then is the contributing
factor ?
Significant intellectual
differences ?
Surely,
Indians are not
intellectually inferior.

70. The difference lies
in the attitude of the
People.

71. On comparing and analyzing
the attitudes and behavior
of the people, we find that
a great majority
of the rich and developed
countries
follow the following principles
in their lives:

72. 1. Values and Ethics
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect for the laws & rules.
5. Respecting the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving– honest and hardworking.
7. Strive for saving & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.

73. In poor countries,
it is generally observed that
only a small minority follow
these basic principles
in their daily life.

74. We are not poor
because
we lack natural resources
or because we are
intellectually inferior.

75. We are poor because
we lack the right
attitude.

76. ATTITUDE STRESS CULTURE
Positive Eustress Strong

Negative Distress Weak

77. ATTITUDE
An enduring disposition to
consistently respond in a given
manner

78. Attitudes are
the result of choices
you make;
decisions to believe
not to believe.

79. An y fact facing us
is not as important
as our attitude
toward it,
for that de termines
our success or
failure

105. We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind,
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox
that draws the cart.
Speak or act with a pure mind,
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
Jan 23, 2013 - Buddha 105

106. Why do we need a discussion about
Ethics and Values ?
To appreciate the need for
WORK ETHICS

107. WORK ETHICS

109. WORK ETHICS
 It is a set of values
based on hard work and diligence.
 It is a belief
in the moral benefit of work and
its ability to enhance character.
 It includes being reliable, having
initiative
and maintaining social skills, honesty
and accountability.

110. In essence, WORK ETHICS implies :
Before You Act --- ASK:
Is this fair ?
Is this legal ?
Is it against the policy ?
Could the action cause loss or harm to anyone ?
If everyone I knew saw me,
would I feel uncomfortable ?

111. Principles of Personal Ethics
 Concern for the well-being of others
 Respect for the autonomy of others
 Trustworthiness & honesty
 Willing compliance with law
 Basic justice; being fair
 Doing good – benevolence
 Preventing harm

112. 9
Evaluating Ethical Actions
Actions can be evaluated
using a variety of tests
TESTS

113. 1. Harm Test
Harms
Benefits
Do the benefits outweigh the harms,
short term and long term?

114. 2. Reversibility Test
Would I think this was a good choice if I traded
places?

115. 3. Colleague Test
What would my professional colleagues say?

116. 4. Legality Test
Would my choice violate a
law or policy of my
employer?

117. 5. Publicity Test
How would my choice look
on the front page of a Newspaper?

118. 6. Common Practice Test
What if everyone behaved this way?

119. 7. Wise Relative Test
What would my wise old aunt or uncle do?
or
Would I want them to know what I am doing?

120. 8. The Hiding Test
Do I want others to know what I’m doing?

121. And Finally,
9. the Self-Respect Test
How will I feel about myself after making this choice?

122. But all these tests promote
decisions based on how we “feel”
about what we do.
However, the best decision is to
“Do the right thing
because it is the right thing to do.”

123. Sow a thought, reap an act.
Sow an act, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character,
reap an eternal destiny.

124. During my eighty seven years,
I have witnessed
a whole succession of
technological revolutions.
But none of them has done away
with the need for
character in the individual
or
the ability to think.
Jan 23, 2013- Bernard M. Baruch 124

125. He who has health*
has hope, and
he who has hope
has everything.
*Health ~ Physical, Mental,
Emotional and Spiritual

127. The greatest revolution
of our generation
is the discovery that
human beings,
by changing
the inner attitudes of their minds,
can change
the outer aspects of their lives.
William James

128. If there is
righteousness

Mother Theresa

142. Always look for the positive.

143. The best index to a person’s
character is:
a) how he treats people who
can’t do him any good, and
b) how he treats people who
can’t fight back.
- Abigail Van Buren

144. Do you feel
that

Jan 23, 2013 about values ? 144

145. Now
shall we think of
some home work
for the rest of our
LIFE ?
Jan 23, 2013 145

146. Can we relax – think of our
childhood – and in case you are
given a second chance to live
again –
What are the things you will
repeat, and what are the things
you will not do, and what are the
things you will never do again,
etc.
Jan 23, 2013 146

147. Why not we decide NOW –
to stop doing a thing
which is not good and
which we have been doing all
these days ?
Jan 23, 2013 147

148. Similarly, why not we NOW
decide to do something,
which we know to be good, and
have all the while been
hesitating to start doing ?
