Search for Truth

Effective decisions and actions are based on uncompromising truth.

Decisions and actions based on incomplete truth lead you to a weak position and you are bound to feel sorry for yourself eventually.

How do you get to the full truth?

If you are learning about something from someone else, he is telling the truth.  Because he is an honorable man.

But every honorable man is a man after all.

And therefore has own perspective.

Therefore the truth told by him is 'colored'.

So if you listen about the same thing from two different persons both will say their respective truths.

So how do you arrive at the TRUTH?

If you have brought something from the market and it has got some mud or dust on the way as you were bringing it home

you would take a brush and remove the dust or the color it has got.

In your mind this role is played by Doubt.

Doubt is the brush that will remove the color and you will be able to get to the real truth.

My experience in Industrial Relations taught me this basic principle.

People when they come to you and try to convey a "truth", they bring various versions of truth. You should listen with patience and respect but don't take every statement on its face value.

Use doubt as your friend and get to the most likely TRUTH.

You will have reduced your chance of regret.
