value-driven life is like an engine-driven vehicle, and one without values is like a vehicle without an engine. Values drive us to achieve our goals.
The four values-dedication, knowledge, trust and responsibility-are like four cylinders or core values that energise the engine for excellence in the right direction. Your life should be such that it helps you assimilate these values. When good values guide your life, the world seems like heaven.
Adi Shankaracharya says in the Bhaj Govindam: 'Nitya anitya viveka vichara'-reflection on discrimination of what is eternal and noneternal; what is permanent and what is passing. Values are simply the knowledge of what lasts and what passes away.
A farmer regularly sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day, the baker weighed the butter and found that it was less than a pound. He took the farmer to court.
The judge asked the farmer what measure he was using. The farmer replied, «Your Honour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I had been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day, when the baker brought the bread, I put it on the scale and gave him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.»
