SINCERITY ALWAYS PAYS Dear Friends, Human beings consciously or unconsciously project the kind of personality and attitude they possess. What they project are essentially two: the thoughts that they externally express and the inner feelings they experience within. The thoughts externally conveyed and the inner feelings of a person need not always be complimentary. A person of integrity is one whose thoughts and feelings are not different. Sincerity in what we speak or do in our lives is of a great personal value which has its influence on the society. Persons of integrity and sincerity find acceptance and command respect. The remedy begins when one is courageous enough to see the truth about oneself. One should be willing to admit one s failures rather than finding justification for one s bad behaviour. Secondly, one's life should be rooted in values. Thirdly, sincerity can be practiced by obeying the dictates of one s conscience, Finally, remember that we cannot hide our actual self for too long because people perceive both parts of our communication- what the thinking part says and our inner feelings. In addition to the sincerity it is true that two words are the key to a life and career of continuous improvement and growth. Whether you are just starting out and trying to make a name for yourself or you have achieved the pinnacle of success It's important to remember to be HUMBLE and HUNGRY. Don't ever feel that you know every thing.See yourself as a life long learner who is always seeking ways to learn,grow and improve.Be kind to every one and let people know that they matter. Follow your passion, continuously improve and continue to dream. Don't focus on where you have been.Focus on where you are and where you are going. The path of success needs concentration. Wish you all the very best. ASHOK MAHAJAN DIRECTOR ROTARY INTERNATIONAL (2007-09) TRUSTEE - THE ROTARY FOUNDATION (2009-13)
