MY ETHICAL PILLARS OF LIFE:

“Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our
thinking, but also our feeling.”

Ethics is a theory or a system of moral values. It is also referred to as the rules or standards
governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession. Ethics is based on a set of
moral and ethical values. These values must be absolute - that is, you must take them
seriously enough to override any human rationalization, weakness, ego, or personal faults.

There are pillars of my ethical viewpoint of life:

1. Honesty- The old adage, "honesty is the best policy" is true today more than ever.
2. Integrity- Integrity connotes strength and stability. It means taking the high road by
practicing the highest ethical standards. Demonstrating integrity shows completeness
and soundness in your character.
3. Responsibility - Blaming others, claiming victimhood, or passing the buck may solve
short-term crises, but refusal to take responsibility erodes respect and cohesion in an
individual’s life. Ethical people take responsibility for their actions.
4. Trust- there's no free ride. Trust is hard to earn and even harder to get back after
you've lost it.
5. Empathy- the ability to sense others feelings and help them in some way is also very
important in life.
6. Committment- It is avery important aspect of one’s life. It refers to our dedication
towards our responsibilites and duties as well.
7. Teamwork- Two or more employees together make a team. It is the need of the hour
to work openly and supportively in teams whether formal or informal.
8. Leadership- A leader is out front providing an example that others will follow.
9. Loyalty- it provides the motivation to be moving ahead in life with positivity around
yourself.

is doing it." - William Penn
