~New Year Musing~

2009 was an eventful year with a serious impact on how we think about ourselves and the world. Preparing for our own values. What are these values, how do we come to acquire them and why do we follow them? All the issues were captured in one simple question: How do I convince my father to tell the truth? Yes, how? Its all the 'relationship' works there ,some values


I reflected some values, grouping them under three :

1. Personal Values: Personality, Honesty, Integrity;

2. Social Values: Tolerance, Benevolence, Free Exchange (Paisa..hehe);

3. Political Values: Liberty, Rule of Law, Subsidiarity.(Fake)


How do we come to believe in them and practice them? I can’t really decipher among all the varied influences over the whole period of 2009. Some of the worst corporate malpractice, fraud and theft we have seen recently reflects this lack of values. The latest example is of Satyam.

May the New Year give us the time and courage to reflect on our basic values: Think, Speak, and Act.

happy new year
