VALUE SYSTEMS IN LIFE

Article Overview: Periodic self analysis by all and an exemplary conduct by Leaders at all levels in the society is, perhaps, the only antidote to stop further decay & decline in value systems.

VALUE SYSTEMS IN LIFE

Value Systems exist in different forms such as social values, organizational values, human values & personal values. Often these are defined in Citizen's Charters, Code of Conduct and as Leadership Attributes. All forms of value systems are largely based on ethics, morality and virtues. Over the years, values have been corrupted by over-ambition. This trend needs to be arrested. An attempt has been made below in the form of a poem. It calls for an introspection (PEEP WITHIN) to understand what has gone wrong.

Periodic self analysis by all and an exemplary conduct by Leaders at all levels in the society is, perhaps, the only antidote to stop further decay & decline in value systems.

PEEP WITHIN

When value systems change

And morals too decline;

When demoniac forces grow

To dominate the mind.

When materialistic urges build up

To squeeze the trust of time;

And perversions invade the intellect

Of unbridled minds.

When principles get replaced

By conveniences undefined;

And Hypocrisy infiltrates

To make the learned blind.

When wisdom sheds its grace

And virtue gets maligned;

When faith in systems degenerates

And rogues operate from behind.

When everyone looks crazy,

And claims he has no time;

To conscience or conscientiousness

He doesn't want to bind.

And still he wants to climb the ladder

Leaving everyone behind;

Each failure shakes his pride

No success makes him kind.

Who can make him taste the truth

Whose tongue is not refined ?

An attempt for a 'PEEP WITHIN'

May tell him he is blind.

Each one of us needs to alter

Our attitudes I find;

The horrid, clumsy thoughts we have

Churn out polluted minds.

Values such as Love, Truth and Duty,

Do not wither with time;

One has to earn the Grace of God

And keep them as sublime.

His Grace is there, the conscience knows,

For loving hearts and humble minds;

For ego-less and devoted ones,

Who glide over the tides of time.

Re: Old and Forgotten.... - Sorry for the oversight. HAPPY BIRTHDAY - BARBARA, LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY!
Re: Is it better to become an entrepreneur at an early age? - I think the best time to become an entrepreneur is not about your age, but your LIFE STAGE. In my opinion, it's ideal to start by your business before you have a spouse/kids/family and mortgage and just after you've worked a few years to save up some capital/work experience (which is easiest to do while still living at home with your parents. No shame in being able to save $1000-2000+ each month).

But I was really just joking - I know no one here could have known my birthdate! ! I was just wondering if an automated "Birthday greeting" sent from the forums would be a good idea...
Re: The secret to happiness - Hey GT You have a great attitude. I was a 4 pack a day smoker and I stopped about 8 years ago. Nobody thought it possible that Barry Sarner could ever stop smoking. It turned out to be the biggest lesson I ever learned in MY LIFE. The lesson: How could you fail at anything if you just refuse to give up? I slipped and slided for 8 months but even when I messed up, and I did alot, I never threw myself under the bus. I just started all over again the next day. I CHOSE to start again the next day . . . I CHOSE You must work on it every day of your life. Just know that you have the choice to start from scratch the next day. . . . . AND THAT IS OK TO DO. NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP
