Hi Folks |
 |
Whether a mother is a verb, noun, adjective or whatever; whether she is an ‘archer’ or an ‘air traffic controller’; she is a leader no doubt. In a leadership workshop that I attended recently, a leader was described to be one having the following 5 characteristics :
- Skin of a rhino
- Courage of a soldier
- Compassion of a mother
- Understanding of a friend
- Patience of a saint
|
Being a mother is more of possessing certain traits than belonging to a gender. Mother’s compassion is unbound and all encompassing and not limited to a particular day in a year like Mother’s Day that just went by. |
While you reflect on the above, do take time to keep yourself abreast of what changes the various Ministries have effected through Circulars and Notifications covering Service Tax, FEMA, Customs, Company Law etc. |
