“Do the works for the sake of your organization result will follow automatically”
10) Self Motivation:
No one can encourage us for long. Nobody can encourage us more than our self. “Work should be worship”. If we love the work we do it will bring happiness & effectiveness. “Do what you love to do a& love what you are doing”

Process to achieve ends what you earn does not tell how you earn. While earning a profit a business man should be careful that he follows the ethics & does not harm to the rights to stakeholders.

Creator is Subjective
Creation is Objective
Ethics & values are subjective quality i.e. They cannot be seen but felt. Inputs & resources required for production are Objective i.e. they can be seen or felt. If management pays attention to both this quality & mixes them properly it would be best form of management.

One should be equanimous i.e. accept pleasure and pain joys and sorrows is a part of life.
Dharma – Right
Artha – Money
Kama – Work

These are 4 Purusharthas of life. But while searching for Artha & kama one should be careful. Follow dharma (rightness) so that he can attain moksha (freedom from any salvation) which will make him blissful
15) Dignity of Work:
Dignity of work is much important as far as Indian ethos is concerned. No work is great or small. Each work whether it is a peon’s job or General Manager’s job, is of equal importance, worthy & honorable. It lays stress on “Sarvabhutastha Atmanam Sarvabhutani Chatmani” which means to treat all as equals.
