I especially dedicate this article to my friend, blog partner Viswapriya..:), Since her parents are going abroad in case of work. She would be on herself for almost 2 years, I want to let her know that your parents are with you every second in your life. No matter what the situation you face because REMEMBER THIS For them you are always a child who knows nothing and needs help and that's true to last word.
Thanks :)
Ensure that what you do in the workplace reflects the core purpose of the organisation. A strong leader is someone who knows the values of their organisation.
