Business Ethics
Source: Buzzle.com For a business to achieve long-term profits, customer relationship is of utmost importance. To gain a longterm relationship with c u s t o m e r s a n d a c h i e ve customer return for the business, the business needs to be based on ethics. The trustworthiness of a business, its customer service, its customer care, its way of dealing with customers and its urge to retain their old customers, is a part of the business ethics. Business ethics leave a long-lasting impression on the customers and the impression on their minds builds trust, fetching a business more customers while retaining the older ones. Most of us are concerned about making money for our business and we cater to the legalities in business. But we seldom bother to base our business on ethics. At times, ethical duties of businessmen and project managers could be more abiding than even the business laws. Ethics is a farreaching concept and goes beyond the idea of making money legally. Ethical values are way ahead of earning money. Ethics is more about earning long-lasting relationships in business.

MIND WORKS-14 The Positive Power of Love By Prof UK Athikkal --------The two basic emotions control the behaviour of human kind. One is positive and the other negative. The positive one we call love and the negative one is termed as fear. If we look at human behaviour very closely, we can find that the source of all other positive emotions such as c o m p a s s i o n , k i n d n e s s , j o y, happiness, and passion is love. On the other hand, the source of all other negative emotions such as jealousy, hatred, anger, envy and greed is fear. Both these emotions seldom exist together and operate at the same time in any person. We shall focus now on the positive power of love. Love is the attracting, uniting, and harmonising force of the universe. It is the desire to support a person in being all that they can be. It is helping the other person to grow e m o t i o n a l l y, m e n t a l l y a n d spiritually. Above all, love is allowing another person, the complete freedom to be himself or herself and accepting that person without trying to change them. The problem with many relationships is that love is one-sided. In order for a relationship to be balanced, you must give, but also expect to receive. Your needs must be met as well as those of your partner. The compulsion to keep giving without expecting a return, keep receiving without expecting to give, doesn't support true love. However, to love means to love. It is not conditional such as “I will love you if ......” “ I will love you as long as.......” or “I will love you when......”. Love that implies conditions is emotional blackmail. Stop looking for others to love you. If you are looking for someone to love you,

you will go through life disappointed. Love begins with loving yourself first. Unless you first love yourself, you will not be able to find it in another. Only when you generate love and radiate it forth until it embraces everything and everyone, will love be yours in return. But remember, you cannot give your love to another person. You can only be loving. Being loving means learning to love your mind, thoughts, body, life and the infinite power (God Power) with in you. Learn to love objects like trees, flowers, animals, sunshine and everything you see, touch and taste. Have you ever noticed how some people always have trouble with their automobiles? Their vehicles just don't respond to them, Yet another person “talks” to his automobile and it responds troublefree trip after trip. It would seem that even inanimate things do sense love. Preposterous? It had been scientifically demonstrated that metal atoms respond differently to different personalities. Loving is one of our strongest needs. It has been discovered by behavioural scientists that it is not lack of love that causes negative personality disorders, but lack of loving. Loving self, loving others and loving the environment have the power to transform you life in a positive manner. Emotion is energy in motion and love emotions provide positive energy to sail through our lives in a resourceful manner. Let's ponder over the thoughts that occur to us the moment we wake up? Are they loving thoughts or fearful ones? The pattern of thoughts that we start the day decides the day, whether it is going to be with positive or negative experiences. The moment you start the day with loving thoughts, you start loving the work you do and the people you work with. It sets in a chain reaction and helps you to transform your life in a positive direction.

Ethics is the cornerstone
CARTOON Summit on Global Warming
Aneeta -----------
India: Many management institutions have a greater task of shaping the future students of India. Lack of harmony and presence of ego prevent our country from following ethical principles in business. It is important to realize that technology plays an important role in management studies. In most cases, what the students study in the first year becomes outdated by the time they finish their course. Many successful management institutions around the world make ethical principles as their cornerstone. This is the key innovative method to achieve successful results in the future. Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. George Bernard
