Question asked by our beloved Asif on Facebook triggered me to write this. I had told him, in person, to write more of instructions of how to be better. However, what I feel is when we miss the core, the fundamentals, the steps and methods are useless.At core of what I teach and present to all, is categorised as ‘Philosophical’ and that’s what bothers me.Philosophy (from Greek φιλοσοφία, philosophia, literally "love of wisdom") is the study of general and fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.Life is all about what we are, we do and we become. Philosophy?Praise the lord you are on the same page.Question (poste by Asif):In work, professional relationship is more important than friendly relationship. Do you agree? Share your views!Answer (my view):Relationship: Based on Mutual trustWork: Is part of my existenceImportance: If it is not IMPORTANT, I should not be worrying aboutSuccess: Outcome of the mutual trust and honesty towards each otherDo I need to elaborate?Your life, the complex structure of work, family, friends and what have you is constantly involving all the above. The above is based on trust.Hence where there is no trust, there is no relationship.Ask a mother, a father, a wife, a husband, a brother, a sister, a friend … even the auto rickshaw you take blindly trusting them.So, if you don’t acknowledge/value/respect relationship, you better not be doing business.I can’t be simpler than this.As always, comments and criticism welcome.This isHemantHemant Desai Presents
