Adherence to values builds credibility, says Gadkari

Addressing a gathering of entrepreneurs, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said adhering to ethics and values is important in all spheres of life, as it increases one’s credibility.

He also stressed the importance of research and development as well as study of successful practices followed in the rest of the world.

Challenges can be overcome with a positive attitude and good business practices, the Union Minister said.

“Values are very important, be it social life, personal life or political life...one has to maintain values, which increases one’s credibility and leadership ability,” he said.

Talking about the importance of positive thinking, he cited the example of a businessman who did not lose courage even after his entire factory burnt down, and is now exporting goods to over 90 countries.

“The man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits,” the Union Minister said.
