what makes men great?

1. conviction of the power of goodness 2. absence of jealousy and suspicion 3. helping all those who are trying to do good and be good... often it looks like these co-relate to the modern obsession with vision - mission - strategy.  modern corporate is caught in a vision statement making where the vision statements are never an articulation of conviction rather a assertion of self-value, which is not the same as having conviction. mission is always an action value, however, to state what one will not do makes more sense than what one may. strategy has always been used in the competitive term, thereby depriving it of its possible higher humanist dimension - 'helping all those...' seems such a simplistic yet one of the toughest strategies to adopt. at the corporate level if it was interpreted as, 'helping all those who are trying to do and be good to humanity through selling / servicing /...' it would place the value of goodness of the customer above
