Living With Honor

"You Can Win" by "Living With Honour". For the readers who are not aware, "You Can Win" is another Best Seller and internationally acclaimed artwork by the same writer of "Living With Honour". When I was requested for writing a summary of the later one I dived into doing some sort of research on the writer himself rather than the book. The contemporary "Ring Master" of Management like him with the years of experience shows all through the books with a down to earth approach even for the most intricate problem. Both of the books has a common sense appeal and induces the reader to refer to it again and again. The books make one ponder on what his ultimate aim in life should be and how he is going to achieve it. One would realise while he is not expected to win every battle but the war has to be won. While "You Can Win" shows you the saga to the winning, "Living With Honour" on the other hand reminds you that "Win but not selling your souls". Somebody might try to outrun my saying by, "It doesn't matter whether you win by an inch or by a mile; winning is winning", why not give it a second thought? Is it really true? Somebody will be saying you, "You are a liar, you cheated". Reading the book I was wondering about one famous story from Abraham Linkoln. To my utmost astonishment I found the story in the book.

In this book he has covered subjects as varied as Gaining Reputation, building the foundation towards success, ideals behind the principles, justice, and freedom for life among others. Shiv takes the reader thrugh his own as well as a host of other world leader’s experiences and insights to keep the reader’s mind fresh and enthusiastic throughout the book. Shiv Khera has the capacity to simplify very deep philosophies and make the reader realise its true worth. As Washington Irving said Great minds have purposes, others have wishes and Shiv goes on to explain Goals, Dreams, desires and fears ET all. As one goes back to the book again

    There are many concepts, that Americans are exposed to- and even use- in their regular day to day lives, that are not very clearly defined. Maybe these concepts are too confusing. Or too broad to clearly understand. Or they’re just vague. Or, perhaps, maybe these concepts simply are not valued enough within that American “go-go-go” mindset to have time taken to really think about and understand what they mean. One of these cheapened, romanticized concepts, is honor. Honor always has, and always will, exist in some way or form in every single society, including America, however morphed and faded it might be.…

    Honor has a lot of different meanings, from high respect, to privilege, to moral sexuality, but through the many years the thought of honor existed, “The term honor has always been a word used to describe men and women of high moral worth or great achievement”(Honor). An honorable person is a selfless person, one that can be trusted, a person who you can depend on, a person who will always do the right thing and will never let anyone down.

    Honor Who to Protect?

    • 2 Pages

    Honor Who To Protect? Don Riles, insurance claims adjuster, has the day off. He is playing with his 4-year-old daughter Erica when the telephone rings. At the other end of the line, Don's supervisor, apologizing for interrupting his time off, pleads for his help. Will Don please visit a woman in his neighborhood who has made claims for bodily and mental injury resulting from a car crash with a person insured by Don's company? The woman has consented to a visit from their adjuster to assess the injuries to her nose and mental state. (Apparently the crash has caused her to relapse into a condition of paranoia and manic depression, previously stabilized.) The claims adjuster in charge of the case has called in sick—scheduling the appointment has been difficult. Will Don please fill in? Don agrees readily, but asks if he could bring his daughter—it is their day together while his wife worked. Don's supervisor gratefully assures him that bringing the little girl along is no problem. When Don arrives at the woman's house, he discovers no one at home, so he and his daughter wait in the car. Eventually, the woman arrives, parks, and emerges from her car, at which point Erica cries happily, "It's Miss Anderson!" "Who is Miss Anderson?" asks her father with surprise. Miss Anderson turns out to be Erica's daycare teacher. Don conducts a short interview with the woman on the front steps of her home, satisfying himself that she does indeed have some facial injuries and that she is taking prescription medicine for her mental problems. Following the interview, Don realizes that he has a real dilemma. Insurance ethics mandates that claims investigations are completely confidential. An insurance professional with knowledge of a claims case is expected to keep silent and to refrain from using the knowledge for personal benefit. On one hand, to uphold his industry's code of ethics, he is not to…
