Social service does not mean merely going out into the streets and cleaning them. Whatever work you are engaged in, whatever duties you have to perform as an official or an employee, to do your duties efficiently and with diligence and devotion is also Seva (social service). Those in authority who discharge their functions well enough to justify the salary they receive are rendering real service. But such persons are rare. Employees agitate for more wages but do not render commensurate service to justify the incomes they receive. Disinterested service will ennoble man and raise his stature. It endows man with the intelligence and the skills required to refine human nature.  Doing one's duty diligently is not enough. Men have to cultivate other qualities like love, sympathy, fairness, compassion and forgiveness. Only when one has these qualities will he be able to render dedicated service. It is the sense of dualism---of "mine" and "thine"--which accounts for all...

The ultimate standard for leadership has become authenticity. However, a misunderstanding of what it signifies might stifle your progress and limit your influence. We tend to use authenticity as an explanation for sticking with what's comfortable because going against our natural impulses might make us feel like impostors. However, few occupations allow us to do so for an extended period.

The situations that test our sense of self the most are the ones that may teach us the most about effective leadership. We may establish a personal style that feels right to us and matches...

It explains how countries and other entities regard other countries and their citizens. It provides direction to the international community on how to address global concerns.

The ability to detect, understand, manage, and reason with emotions is referred to as emotional intelligence, or EQ ("emotional quotient"). It's a crucial skill for interpersonal communication, and it's a popular topic not just in psychology but also in business. In the 1990s, psychologists coined the word. Its application swiftly spread to other fields such as business, education, and popular culture.  WHAT IS THE MEANING OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE? Psychologists Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer, two of the foremost experts on the subject, define emotional intelligence as the ability to sense and understand emotions in oneself and others. Making judgments, solving problems, and connecting with people based on emotional understanding are all part of this skill. There are four stages of emotional intelligence, according to Salovey and Mayer: Emotional perception Emotion-based reasoning Emotional intelligence Emotional control Emotions and intelligence were once thought t...
