Ethical Issues: Success Requires Social Intelligence Than IQ

“Human nature is of dominance or to feel superior over others. If not, he surrenders to the forces where he can feel secure and find peace. Through out the history of mankind there have been wars, conquests, dominance, and freedom struggle. So, have we come to a threshold point? The answer is No.

We are going to be the same in nature no matter what. Even if the technology changes, the way we communicate changes, even if the whole world is given proper education, deep within we are same as we were 1000 years ago.

There will be unanswered questions, there will be cults, there will be saints and there will be peace and as well wars, there will be good and bad, there will be creation and destruction and we need to understand that we cannot change that.

When an Individual (soul) becomes liberated and becomes independent personally, financially, spiritually and his span of influence or control increases he becomes a master. The imprisoned soul is that of the slave.

What does all that narrow down to? Well, every self help book talks about value, Integrity and positive attitude. Say, if a man covets other mans wife it is lack of Integrity and value. If he takes away something of value form someone without his concern then it is called steeling or theft. Is it not?

“Ask and you shall receive it” that’s Integrity is it not? That’s why it’s written in the bible.

When there is difference of value or lack of Integrity there will be conflicts, problems, issues, conquests and wars.

Integrity is nothing but to be integrated. I.e. to be considerate, considering all factors, all people and decide the best decision. Integrity requires assertiveness, communication skills and above all a good heart.

The ability to take loosing as part of wining is one quality which will make you a winner for sure.

Say your employee or your subordinate fails to keep his promise of delivering his work as per schedule. Is it a lack of Integrity? It may be and may not be. “Do on to others as you do on to you!”
Can you deliver the same on time? If your answer is No, then stop complaining.

Cooperate means co-operate i.e. operate together.

In the business world many companies treat there employees very badly. In many sales and as well production departments they used to say “work like a dog and in end of the day you become god”. This is certainly lack of Integrity and value.

“Be a saint to choose peace and be a warrior to attain freedom“that’s Integrity.

“That which changes with time cannot be considered eternal and is not the ultimate reality because the ultimate reality is neither temporary nor does it change with time and it is indestructible. This is the conclusion that seers of truth has arrived after having deliberated on both the aspects,
Know that all pervading is indestructible. The all pervading consciousness and the imperishable soul can therefore never be destroyed. Thus it is only the external body that the imperishable, indestructible and immeasurable soul inhabits, that is destroyed, hence get up and fight, O descendent of Bharata.”

- Bhagvad Gita
