20091223 Work Ethics – Administrative Staff of APSRTC – Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence, Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad. This is a live recording of the speech, in Telugu, given to a batch of administrative staff from APSRTC, as a part of the one day training programme, organized at Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence, Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad. An earlier presentation, titled as Moral and Ethical Values was modified partly, certain additional slides were added, and thus a new power point presentation was designed. The purpose of having work ethics, the importance of honest hard work and diligence were explained. The need for objectivity, for having a value-orientation, for becoming a better motivated person, for becoming more responsive, etc. were stressed. You would be better able to appreciate the beauty and the purpose of the presentation when both the audio version, uploaded to www.archive.org [please search for Prof. V. Viswanadham – and further sort the results by “date added” – to easily locate this item], and the relevant power point presentation that can be viewed at www.scribd.com [please search for Viswam.vangapally4581] and / or www.slideshare.net/viswanadham - taken together as a package. It is humbly suggested that you may please use the power point presentations, freely. Please feel free to refer to these websites to your friends and motivate them to become better, continuously. Please help me to spread the motivating message to as many people as possible. Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
