Human Values Alone Matter

It may sound undeniable, but it is indeed uncompromisingly true that human values alone matter. In our day-to-day environment in corporate, business, or academic, how often do we genuinely care and offer help to the other person? How many times do we forgive our friends for careless acts? These questions will make you self-evaluate your attitude towards other fellow beings. The value of things is realized when you lose them, and so are human values. Perhaps, the diminution in human values poses a severe threat to the progress of the nation as well as its dignity, survival, and self-assurance. Evangelical revival of human values can be a hope for human survival on this planet. Instead of focusing on penny gains, the role of human beings is to elevate self with virtues to make this world a better place. Thus, by holding hands together, we have the potential to solve the majority of problems concerning humanity.

Listen & Empathize

How many of us deeply listen to the problems of others and truly empathize with them? Rarely do we take time out of our busy schedule and give our ears to someone in essential need. Usually, we are so preoccupied with our own goals that we often miss out on the opportunities to serve someone in trouble at present. Listening can benefit the speaker and the listener to view the world from others’ eyes. Empathizing is an escape route from our self-problems and a tiny little world in which we are most often trapped. For example, a colleague, who is having a tough time with personal relationships, adjusting at work, or managing their academic projects along with an internship, may need someone to listen and empathize with them. Being someone in need may not be materialistically rewarding, but the satisfaction of making someone’s day is priceless.

Speak Soothing Words

A mere token of appreciation and kind, positive words can implausibly boost a person’s confidence and are vital for any progressing institution or organization. Speaking is psychologically ingrained in us since childhood; hence, we become how our parents or close ones describe us in many ways. Thus, it is essential to politely inform them about the unacceptable behavior or mistake rather than punishing them or talking ill about them. It simply displays our cheap behavior when we belittle someone. Positive words help build a good rapport with our team and our classmates and create an impact as an approachable friend. Also, as an entrepreneur, a positive language with customers can help one build reliance with them and thus, positively impact the brand image of our products or services.

Genuinely Care & Offer Help

Instead of competing, help the other person. It is okay to lose uncounted battles when you aim to win the war of protecting human values. When your colleague is in dire need of your assistance in creating a power-point presentation, offer them help and stretch that extra hour to reduce their anxiety. Care for your family members, people in your society, college, workplace, your teammates, and your senior colleagues. An unconditional help will surely reward you with deep satisfaction and playing a crucial role in society than any monetary returns. By God and the good people around you, you are capable of serving others.

Forgive & Forget

Many times, life turns out to be an unfair journey. Unfortunately, we can’t change the external things, but the maximum we can do to heal ourselves is to forgive and forget about the undesirable situation, inappropriate action, and unethical person. Forgiving is a most important human value as it enables you to progress fearlessly with your life without looking back. Sometimes, a fellow being, whom you assist with all care, love, and respect, may prove to be ungrateful to all your efforts and sacrifices; Or may betray you for small selfish gains. You can’t change the situation, but forgetting ungrateful beings and continuing your efforts to serve people in need, spreading the faith is a route to happiness.

Gift Freedom

Please encourage others to be who they are and not what you want them to be or expect them to do. Allow your family, friends to have their own space and see them from their perspective. Let your family members – spouse, parents, children, grandparents, in-laws do what they love doing and offer them a helping hand in all your capacity. Such an action is the very least you can do to help someone and allow them to live life at total mileage.

Thus, delineated few human values may help you grow as a person rather than just as a role that you play in the society – of a student, professional, entrepreneur, son, daughter, husband, wife, etc. Let us be benevolent and spread happiness and love at this festival of Holi. You are forever hoping for the victory of good over evil, wishing Happy Holi to all the readers!
