Pavan Choudary explains that enduring victory requires goodness attributes like honesty, loyalty, kindness, empathy, gratitude and fairness. If success breeds arrogance or dictatorship, then failure and mutiny will follow. However, success that brings feeling of serving others can lead to more success and grandeur. Goodness can be learned through enlightening stories and by feeding the "good dog" within through good company, belief in ultimate triumph of good, and believing good lies dormant in others. While truth is ideal, entering evil occasionally may be needed to overcome it and establish justice, as shown by examples of Abraham Lincoln and Romulus. Power need not corrupt if vested in people like Mother Teresa; it can exalt depending on
“What is known with regard to how this word is used
linguistically is that its usage is limited to when the love is
sexual, such as when a person loves another person whom they can enjoy [sexually], such as a woman or a child. This term is not used to describe a person’s love for their children, relatives,country, wealth, religion, and so forth. It is also not used for the love of a person towards intangible things, such as loving a person for their knowledge, religiousness, bravery, generosity,
good conduct, and so forth.Rather, it is well-known regarding the term Al-`Ishq is that it is used for love that results in sexual relations. A person who is suffering from Al-`Ishq wants to satisfy themselves by looking at and listening to the one who is beloved in this fashion. Also, by making love to them through a kiss, feeling, hugging, or by having sex.” - Ibn Taimiyyah

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Saint Kabir has been one of the most unique Indian poet – thinker. Achieving a peak in spiritual consciousness, Kabir was not just a spiritual guru. Kabir’s dohas or couplets have been widely translated and attempts to interpret them have also been made. However, most of this interpretation is esoteric and academic. It often does not do justice to this great master of his times. The following pages truly highlight the essence of Kabir, not as a poet or spiritualist alone, but as a Success Guru. Wisdom Guru Pavan Choudary, in this inimitable compilation, is making Kabir address issues – of mentoring, love, friendship, humility, courage, desire, success, greed, speech, wisdom and many more - that present themselves before us. One often wonders if Kabir knew of the dilemmas of the 21st century or have the predicaments of life been the same always.
"How a Good Person can Really Win" shows how the “good person” (one for whom means are as important as the ends) can win against the unprincipled man (for whom only ends matter).
ABOUT THE BOOK
`````````````````````````````
Real-world research shows that the good person often loses to the unprincipled man. The three main reasons for this are:
1. He cannot comprehend how the unprincipled man thinks, works or makes his moves.
2. He lacks battle skills and doesn’t know how to fight back.
3. He is often egoistic about his honesty, whereas the unprincipled man can subjugate his ego to greed and team up with others.
This book prepares the good person towards:
1. Comprehending evil moves
2. Executing powerful antidotes
3. Converting his virtues into competitive tools and building powerful collaborations with men like himself & win decisively.
Free of platitudes & unproven recommendations, How a Good Person can Really Win is backed by extensive research, and can lead men to victory and success in the real world. It has relevance to all walks of life.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

encompasses honesty,

attributes are necessary both to

Mahesh Bhatt, a thought leader
of the Indian film industry, narrates
this story, which his mother used to
tell him and which takes this point
a little further. She used to tell him,
“There is a bad dog and a good dog
in everyone of us. Whenever we are
at moral crossroads these two dogs
start fighting.”
“Who wins?” he used to ask.
“The one you feed more,” would
be his mother’s reply. How do you
feed the good dog? And what food
do you provide? Company of good
people is one. Unshakable belief
in the power that good ultimately
triumphs, is the other.
Believing that good lies dormant
in some and a strong, selfless
initiative can wake it up, is the
third. If you feed the good dog
within you with these three kinds of
food, it is not only able to overpower
the bad dog within you, but also,
the bad dogs around you. As the
Dhammapada says: No flower’s
scent goes against the wind — not
sandalwood, jasmine, tagara. But the
scent of the good does go against the
wind. The person of integrity wafts
a scent in every direction.
He (the good) doesn’t need the
wind to spread his perfume. He is
himself a windmill powered by the
energy of the Universe.
When you live with good values,
brick by brick, you construct a
temple through your good conduct.
By the time it is ready, you realise,
it is also a castle. It has made you
impregnable. The robe has become
the armour.
Power of Entering Evil
According to a Buddhist tale, “A
house has caught fire. The adults
have escaped but a few children
are playing inside. Surrounded by
the flames, unmindful of the danger
and admiring the sight of the fire.
The parents outside are shouting,
exhorting them to come out but
they ignore their appeal, busy in
their game.
Which is when a sage happens
to pass by. He takes stock of the
situation and calls out to the
children, “Come out, I have brought
toys for you from the market.” On
hearing this, the children come
out running. The parents and the
bystanders profusely thank the sage
but ask him, “You are an epitome of
truth but you resorted to a lie.” He
replies, “A man of truth knows when
a lie is as sacred as the truth and can
utter it for the benefit of his fellow
beings.” Abraham Lincoln realised
that the slavery abolishment bill
will fall for want of two votes. So,
he said that those two votes must
be procured. When asked, “How?”
he remarked: “I am President of the
United States, clothed with great
power. The abolition of slavery by
constitutional provision settles the
fate, for all coming time, not only
of the millions now in bondage, but
of un-born millions to come — a
measure of such importance that
those two votes must be procured.
I leave it to you to determine how it
shall be done; but remember that I
am President of the United States,
clothed with immense power, and I
expect you to procure those votes.”
These gentlemen understood the
significance of the remark. The votes
were procured.
The bill was passed. A huge
swathe of humanity broke its
bondage. Lincoln died soon after.
His death overtook the events and
which is why he didn’t have to pay a
price for the deed. The deed accused
him but the results excused him.
Learning from Romulus
Romulus — the founder of Rome
— was the man who made laws
for free existence. To establish a
civil society in Rome, Romulus
had to first kill his brother, and
then consent to the killing of his
partner even though, initially, he
had himself chosen this partner to
share the kingdom with him. Prima
facie, these acts make him appear
violent, ruthless and unfaithful.
However, because his intention was
not to grab power but to introduce
sociopolitical equality, Romulus is
lauded not denigrated. Soon after
the murder of his brother and his
partner, Romulus instituted a senate
for consultation, followed the advice
given by them, and thus laid the
foundations for what we today call
democracy. To enact your position
of justice you must gain authority
first.
Your journey to power may need
you to enter evil once in a while. The
noble and wise man knows when to
do so, and exits soon after. He enters
evil to overcome it.And then exits it.
Secondly the belief that
‘power corrupts’ needs to be
revisited. Personalities like Swami
Vivekananda, Mother Teresa and
President Obama prove that benign
power can be a reality. Not only
do they preach and speak about
kindness but practice it even after
rising to power. Whether power
will corrupt or exalt depends more
on who it is vested in. Power in
Genghis Khan’s hands could corrupt
but in Mother Teresa’s hands would
exalt. n
When you live
with good values,
brick by brick, you

conduct
