      About the Author

      Preface

      As explained in this book there are many ways, people lose their integrity in their lifetime. The competition to survive, excel and feel superior over others is one of the root causes to lose integrity. Sometimes it is the weakness of someone used as an opportunity by the other. Many times the other person’s desire is misused. The degree of integrity in the society has become a norm and integrity is decreasing with years.

      People ignore some and are particular about others, the degree and areas of integrity expected from each person are diverse. The law and justice of all the countries are not common. In time and space, integrity varies. The law itself permits some to loose integrity to a permissible level. A person still exists honourably - without any guilt nor punishment. There are professionals such as chartered accountants and lawyers who facilitate people and organisations lose integrity and live with honour.

      The examples narrated in this book are from my experiences, exposure and understanding - used for learning and not to hurt or belittle anyone. Oneself lacking integrity in one aspect need not lose integrity in all other aspects of life. A thief may not try to steal jewellery from his sleeping wife.

      This book is also a manual for the Earth Leaders to understand the integrity aspects much more and strive for bringing in integrity in the systems and among the masses.

      The chapters are presented here without any specific order, one could start reading any chapter randomly and every chapter is complete. One could also just meditate on the mandalas or designs presented at the end of each chapter.

      Welfare

      I went to the government hospital many times when our relatives got admitted. It was a different experience altogether. To enter the hospital the security guard needs to be bribed with some money. Everyone knows that. Otherwise, he will shoo away the attendants and visitors angrily. When a new patient is brought for admission under emergency there will not be any nurses or attendees to bring in the patient from the ambulance outside. There will be few stretchers in the emergency ward. By depositing the mobile phone with the head nurse only then one can take the stretcher out. After transferring the patient on to the bed, the emergency doctor and the nurses will attend the patient. Except at the Incentive Care Units, all other places are very dirty. The common toilets are like hell.

      I once went to a famous government children’s hospital. Saw that mother’s with their days to month’s old children were lying on the floor, as the beds are less and patients are more.

      The only good thing about the government hospital is that unnecessary treatment is not done and the patient is asked to leave immediately after treatment. That is in contrast with the private hospitals. There are many young doctors working in the Government hospital - the patients are plenty with a diversity of ailments - a good opportunity to practice and learn quickly. Many senior doctors from the government hospitals have their private practice too and earn considerably.

      A government school teacher does not admit, own children in the same school. They understand their own school standard. The integrity of a well-paid government teacher is less.

      People want a Government job, but don’t use government services like a school and a hospital. It means the whole integrity of people in government services is less. If permanent government staff were given the job of cooking midday meals, children would not have eaten any food in the schools.

      If people in the government dealing with the essential services are not in integrity there is no meaning to the existing governments.

      Coaching

      People are getting coached on how to lose integrity. Usually, in the commercial personality development courses, people are taught short-cuts with or without integrity. These courses are taken for competing in the work for surpassing others to gain positions or make an impression or earn more income. That is to build their social, natural, physical, human and financial capitals by all means. In this world among human beings, there are many fake personalities. Say a political leaders personality appears to be great and surprisingly one day the same leader gets caught for having involved in a scam and goes to jail. The ardent follower’s life is shattered having known reality.

      I heard a coach saying read like a CEO. That is to take the lifelong experiences, ideas and knowledge of about four or five authors in a week by reading their books. That is by grasping only the essence of the book. A person wants to gain knowledge from the experiences of others in no time. A person might become intellectual, but the innate personality rarely changes. Nor they imbibe all the best values of the authors they read.

      Mannerisms exhibited out of respect is rare, but out of compulsion for appearing good is more common. In such a case every expression of mannerism by a cheat leads to accumulation of negativity in the other person.

      People watch crime stories to understand the ways of crime and it is very interesting for many people. The news of someone cheating by adopting an innovative method is most interesting, so more such stories appear in the media. In history, people remember the kings and leaders who were responsible for the destruction and death of millions of people. By default, people get attracted more towards negative things and get coached unknowingly in the things of least integrity. Most of the print and electronic media is also focused on exploiting this situation and surviving by sharing more negative things. Some of the media personnel are stooped down to blackmailing people and agencies for getting unethical favours.

      Unending

      A company bids a project with some margin as profit. In the consultancy business of soft projects, there are no specific rules of bidding as the works are diverse. Usually, one company wins over another by scoring high on the technical proposal and by quoting less amount in the financial proposal.

      Say a company might fake the availability of existing personnel by manipulating their qualification and experiences or presents more number of days than required or shows more personnel than required or does not follow the exact methodology as mentioned during the implementation or writes and delivers a low-quality report. The company makes a huge profit by not being in integrity. As a company, it saves a good margin of money and calls it their profit from that project or consultancy.

      In a particular case, one of the government officers calculated how much exorbitant margin
