--------Action plan---------

An idea dies unless it acted upon. The quite knowledge if you don’t use,

help create an action plan to live with honour.

Principles of this book cut across country culture and religion.

Honourable living is about accomplishment not just achievement.

Principles of honour

Consistency –it is value based behavior .it means behaving the same way under similar situation.

Character –it is about honour. It is sum of total qualities with reflect values .it is about integrity ,honesty ,ethics, conscience, loyalty toughness, courage and consistency. It is damaged by one self.

Integrity-it is not measured by status and profession but by his conduct. It is clear cut distinction between right and wrong.

Reputation –it is what other people think of us. It is imaginary camouflage. it can be gain by one act and grow like mushrooms and also fragile like glass.

Principles of honour

Integrity combines with enthusiasm and determination makes honourable living.

A person with integrity is one man army.

Practicing integrity takes courage.

Action must follow good intention. Honesty-honesty and dishonesty is habit of people. one

who constantly practiced telling truth, get caught the first time when he tell a lie. A person may be honest but could be lacking integrity.

It may one could be dishonest in work but maintain integrity.

Foundation for success

Ethics –it is commitment of higher moral values and ability to distinguish right from wrong.

People who are ethical are scrupulously honest.

All of us want to do right thing. Doing what is right builds one’s self confidence.

Conscience –it is direction prior to an action. It act not just as a guide but also a break when you deviating from path of righteousness.

Loyalty –it is attitude as well as action.it is called hallmark of strong character in the same way as a tree is as strong as its roots.

External benchmark

An honourable person is

Bold but not bully

Humble but not apologetic

Confidence but not conceited

Proud but not arrogant Tender but not weak

Cool but not cold

Courage/Endurance

Courage is state of mind. It is another name for the face criticism. We need courage to challenge our self

limiting belief and false conviction Endurance – it can be defined as a

combination of patience and courage which enable a person to face adversity with calmness and grace.

Coward dye many times before there death,

the valiant never taste death but once .

Steps to develop courage Face reality Re-examine

value system and take a stand.

Built character ,built courage

Practice small act of courage

Leadership is about taking initiative and being accountable. Leadership is not about making emotional public speeches. Leadership is about trust.

Leader –one who act as catalyst in inspiring other to follow him.

A true leader works at creating more leaders not followers.

Good leader guide and lead, bad leader misguide and mislead.

Leader are not only demonstrated field or in the time of crisis. But every day deeds.

Just as cream rises above the milk, leaders emerge.

Leadership means having the power ,whether formal or informal, to lead.

---------------------Sources of power---------------------

Power by position Power by proxy Power by personality Power by proficiency Power by principal A society is in danger when those who have

never learn to obey or the right to command.

Differences between leadership and management

Manager Administers Maintains Relies on system Count on control Does things right.

Leader Innovates Develops Relies on

people Count on trust Does right

things.A person cannot lead and will not follow invariably is trouble maker.

Either lead or follow otherwise get out of the way.

corruption –it is an evil desire and desire makes man sinner. Sources

Bad laws Bad man

Cause Scarcity Abject poverty Acquire wealth

In a corrupt society ,laws are like spider webs that catch the week and poor but can be destroyed by rich and powerful.

We can not prepare future for our youth but we can prepare our youth for future.

Education –it is progressive discovery of one’s knowledge. It is soul of society.

--------Hallmarks of educated person---------- Educated person think clearly and

logically. Live honourably and courageously Give willingly and generously Forgive lovingly and graciously. They keen aware of responsibility.

Conclusions

In my view’s point is concerned this is very good self help ,motivational ,inspirational book.

I think any one who go through this book and take action plan get benefited.

I learn from this book how to live with honour. All of us want to be successful in life but they

don’t know foundation for success. I learn leadership, character, reputation . what is education and how it helps in live

with honour.

Thanking you all

For giving me such a great opportunity That’s I never before.
