The intangibles of life
Written on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 by Rohan Koshy
Well, here we are again and this time i have a few questions for what seems to be a very limted Audience. It has to do with some of the intangibles i.e. the things that really don't have a physical presence yet seem to impact our lives a lot.NO i'm not talking about ghosts, or whatsoeveryoumay call them.I'm talking about things like say respect,honour,integrity,honesty etc.
How do we judge these things in a person is ofcourse a very subjective thing but none the less i wonder how much these impact our lives.It's quite a known fact that academic success(or say intelligence) plays only a 20% role in determining success while 80% are intangible's like compassion,understanding,determination,insight,guts etc. So how much do these actually play a part.Are they really that important or is it just that we'd like things to be that way.I believe they are.Ten years ago the argument between bussiness and morals raged but now has been settled with a company's values having utmost significance in it's working.Narayan Murthy once said that his company rarely had a problem making decisions between ethics in business simply because the foundation values were clearly defined and that nipped a lot of problems in the bud.So what do you think.Write in...
U cant actually tell how much one's nature affects his/her success.. some people Are compassionate some people are not and these have to put some extra effort into being compassionate.. obviously a balance has to be maintained between morals and business standards or any empire can collapse.. specially in this service-demanding consumer era
