Jainism offers us a healthy and practical framework to:
- create harmonious results and relationships
- strengthen ethics in business and society
- produce widespread benefits for people and planet
- discourage greed and desires for material objects

As we grow up, Jain principles build this learning into leadership:

“No one goes up by putting others down.”
No challenge ahead of you is greater than the force behind you (the force is Jain values).
Nobody can harm you without your permission.
To Forgive is good
To Forget is better, and
To move forward is the best
To the world you may be one person, but to a person you may be the world. (Start with yourself)
When your shadow becomes longer than your height, remember the sun is about to set. (The shadow is your EGO)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion: “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

“To every action there is an equal and opposite delayed reaction.”
The delay of a positive reaction can be extended
by humanity, humility and honesty
