have a slippery value system.
There are liars who can talk about values, can show their mastery in using words, but they are not in a position to inspire their assistants, These liars or charltans are not in a position to earn confidence of others, Reliable people alone can surmount the difficult times.

Managers, owners, workers, leaders, followers all must have this calm of mind as a first step and a first proiority patel All this is so because the basic belief is that We is a plural of I.
