President's December message is this
"
Dear All,
|
Let us begin with the words of a Scottish financial journalist, B. C. Forbes: Without self-respect, there can be no genuine success. Success won at the cost of self-respect is not success. For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and loses his own self-respect? |
|
Self-respect is fundamental to all merits. It permeates all aspects of our lives. We can use it in disciplining ourselves. To us, if we want to be respected, we will have to learn first to respect ourselves, as it comes first from our own inside. Our difficulty is that we do not realise our worth and, therefore, do not consider what we lose when we simply follow others. Losing our identity is no humility. Humility lies in recognising what we are. In fact, true self-respect will make us humble. It will make us think of ourselves neither too high nor too low.
