Download or read book Serve and Live with Honour written by Colonel A. Ponnuchamy and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often, I heard, during my Army service spanning over 33 years, the saying that ‘GENERALS DO NOT RETIRE, THEY FADE AWAY’. This, has got a lot of meaning in it and is certainly debatable. My aim, of writing this book is purely to motivate the younger generation to work hard, be sincere, be loyal and above all persevere to achieve their cherished goals. In all humility, I would like to say that I have no intention to beat my own drums, or for that matter discredit any one while narrating my experience. I, follow the dictum that if I have nothing other than praise for anybody, I refrain from saying anything ill . I must confess, that I came up in a hard way with the grace GOD ALMIGHTY and the utter perseverance of my parents and also my uncle (Chithappa) who sacrificed everything in my raising. The least, I could do to them was to live up to their expectations and follow their guiding principles. What, they did for me to motivate me and instill in me the courage and determination to face life in all its reality, I would like to share with the young readers to enable them to rise in life. If, even one student reader benefits by reading this book, I will fully be satisfied for compiling the experiences of my life.

Download or read book In Service of Emergent India written by Jaswant Singh and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Service of Emergent India is an evocative insider's account of a crucial period in India's history. It provides an in-depth look at events that changed the way the world perceived India, and a unique view of Indian statecraft. As Minister of External Affairs, Defense, and Finance in the BJP-led governments of 1996 and 1998-2004, Jaswant Singh was the main foreign policy spokesman for the government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee during the 1998 nuclear tests by India and Pakistan, the hijacking to Kandahar, Afghanistan, of Indian Airlines flight IC 814, and the Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan, as well as other key events. In an account that is part memoir, part analysis of India's past and future prospects, Singh reflects on his childhood in rural Rajasthan at the end of the colonial period, his schooling and military training, and memories of Indian Independence and the Partition of India and Pakistan. He analyzes the first four decades of Indian nationhood under Congress Party rule, ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, Sino-Indian relations, and post-9/11 U.S.-Indian relations.
Download or read book Winning with Honour written by Siong Guan Lim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of their first book "The Leader, The Teacher, & You", which won the Singapore Literature Book Prize in the Non-Fiction Category in 2014, Siong Guan and Joanne H Lim have collaborated again to produce their new book "Winning with Honour: In Relationships, Family, Organisations, Leadership, and Life". The book draws upon wisdom from history, geography, culture, religion, the wisdom of the ancients, as well as writings and examples from all over the world. The book posits that there is a universality in the message of Honour that can prove valuable to all who would care to reflect on how to sustain success in one's life, family, community, organisation and/or nation. The purpose of this book is to invite you to think about what winning in life actually means, and seeks to raise consciousness about the virtue of Honour in our lives, particularly in the two dimensions of "Honouring Our Word" and "Honouring Each Other". Segmented into 10 parts and drawing from a collection of wisdom literature, the book posits that Honour does not just explain Singapore's journey from Third World Economy to First World Economy in a generation, but is an essential virtue that undergirds purposefulness in life, happiness in family, stability in society, advantage in business, success in leadership, and security in the nation. Written in a unique format that is accessible to people from all walks of life, the book seeks to showcase what is possible if imagination and human enterprise are coupled with honour.

Download or read book In the Name of Honor written by Mukhtar Mai and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 2002, journalists throughout the world began to hear of the gang rape of a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala. The rape was ordered by a local clan known as the Mastoi and was arranged as punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman's brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, and (sadly) not the last, journalists and activists were captivated. This time the survivor had chosen to fight back, and in doing so, single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan. Her name was Mukhtar Mai, and her decision to stand up to her accusers was an act of bravery unheard of in one of the world's most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, Mai's case was headline news in Pakistan and under international scrutiny, the government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money (a historic settlement), and her attackers were sentenced to death. Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls in an effort to ensure that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, In the Name of Honor is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.
