However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Descartes’ skepticism and confusions about self-believe, truth and knowledge are expressed in his First Meditation. He is confused by the nature of his sensory beliefs because most of the times they tend to mislead him. His distrust for his senses does not mean that he distrusts all of them.

He will trust his senses when the conditions are such that they are favorable and conducive to be trusted.
The other thing that makes Descartes skeptic about life and self-belief is in the ...

Recent findings indicate that many Americans have increasingly become distrustful of their government.

Eisenhower who was an American darling when he first ascended to power found his approval ratings dwindle five years into his presidency. Things were even worse for President Clinton whose honeymoon with the American public ...

1. The most important idea that I learned in Part Three is the central importance of the leader’s actual actions upon the behavior of all those working with him or her. It reinforces for me the absolute requirement for trust within business relationships and the role of honesty and responsibility to building the required trust. I appreciated the enumeration of the six values of leaders that are “caring” – honesty, consideration, responsibility, persistence, excellence, and commitment. However, rather than the emotion-laden term of “caring” I would prefer the use of trust-worthy. For it is trust that forms the bedrock ...

When I was a child, I used to ask my mum: "What is happiness?" My mother always told me: "You will find out some day." When I gave a lollipop to a six year old girl, her satisfied smile told me that this was happiness. We supported my friend through a difficult time for her, and she was happy. It will be right to say that happiness is a feeling found deep inside in our heart. Happiness is not a result, but the way to result. People always seek for something global to be happy about, instead of looking ...

The time taken for the completion of the task may not always indicate the significance of the particular action; instead, the members’ relentless efforts, perseverance, and the long term training they undergo make an attempt extraordinary. According to every perspective, a leader’s role is ...

Being trustworthy is the most important quality an individual should posses. Human relationships, which are also important for daily living, are built on trust.

Building trust begins with small acts of kindness and just being there for a person even when ...

Different leaders have different approaches in leadership. However I believe that leadership involves working in and with a team. Without the ability to unite and work with a group of people in the organization, one cannot brag of being a leader. Uniting a team for a common goal poses a great threat to majority of leaders and therefore becomes a very significant issue, worth the discussion while analyzing my leadership style.
I believe that an organization’s key competitive advantage is teamwork and no amount of capital, technology, finance or strategy would make any organization to be so outstanding. ...
