cathedra. And because he Rama Babu, my brothers and sisters, I
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:29

			have said this before and I'm saying it again mainly to remind myself more than anything else. And
that is the importance of
		

00:00:30 --> 00:00:36

			having a goal in life. Not living pointlessly
		

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

			without direction without a go. Just existing reading,
		

00:00:43 --> 00:00:51

			you know, morning happens, evening happens Suba OTA, Sham OTA, this is the reason they give tamam
booty Hey,
		

00:00:53 --> 00:01:13

			morning happens, night happens, even happens this is how life finishes. That is not the best way of
leading your life. What differentiates us from animals is that we human beings have long term goals
and our also has a goal which is to fit his belly
		

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

			or to
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:41

			mate with a with a with a with a female, and so forth. But that is animal life. A human being is
distinguished by having long term goals. And by having goals which are more which are normal or
which are more significant than simply physical
		

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

			fitness and physical survival.
		

00:01:45 --> 00:01:58

			And that's why I say three things one, goal determines direction. If I have no goal, then I can't
possibly have any direction in my life.
		

00:02:00 --> 00:02:19

			I can't answer the question, What must I do now, because what I must do now depends on what am I
trying to achieve, I may have several options. And it's impossible to choose between options. If I
don't have a goal, to direct myself towards.
		

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

			It's only if I have a goal
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:36

			that I can choose the direction of my life. And I can choose what I need to do, which means which is
the best out of the choices that are available to me.
		

00:02:38 --> 00:02:46

			The only way to do that is by having a goal. So goal determines direction.
		

00:02:48 --> 00:02:55

			Now, once you have a goal, we need something else which is process process ensures compliance to
principles.
		

00:02:56 --> 00:03:35

			Process is critically important, because it is possible to achieve any goal in multiple ways. Some
of those ways are noble, and they are worthy of praise worthy of emulation and other goals ignoble,
and they are despicable and they are liable to be punished. Now, how do we determine which is which
we determine it by having the right process complying to certain principles.
		

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

			We are living in a world which is going
		

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

			from having been
		

00:03:44 --> 00:04:42

			militarily dominated in the age of empire to being commercially dominated post empire. Principally,
these things are almost impossible to put a date on there. But by and large, if you if you look at
some indicators, after the collapse of the USSR, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, people, I
don't have any people even remember what USSR fully the full form of it was. But we have seen that
so after that, a world that became unipolar and got more and more dominated by commercial interests.
So we have the economies the United States economy being far the biggest, and China coming up as a
both as the possibly in the future by 2030, the biggest market in the world, as well as being hugely
		

00:04:42 --> 00:04:51

			productive in terms of manufacturing. Therefore, the United States and China have this amazing love
hate relationship of
		

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

			you know, USC is China as a
		

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

			as as in I won't say enemy but definitely as a
		

00:05:00 --> 00:05:00

			A
		

00:05:01 --> 00:05:25

			competitor and as an adversity of some sort, but at the same time, both are both economies are
hugely dependent on each other, you have all kinds of manufacturing facilities of for US companies,
which are in China, because of Chinese efficiency in manufacturing. So, therefore, we are, we were
we are still, as I said, this is very difficult to
		

00:05:27 --> 00:06:00

			draw lines and say This ended at the started. So, there is some kind of parallel influence, but it
has it continuous is basically the biggest driver, then then became, and continues to a great extent
today, the commercial interest, so the world dominated by commerce. And then we come to a world
dominated by technology. So, it's the big technology companies, which in some cases have the sales
turnover is more than the GDP of
		

00:06:01 --> 00:06:07

			many, many smaller countries. So, you have that, if you take, for example, the,
		

00:06:09 --> 00:06:09

			the
		

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

			collective
		

00:06:13 --> 00:06:20

			turnover Sr, or of all the technology companies in the United States, it comes to around $50
trillion,
		

00:06:22 --> 00:06:30

			which is even more than the GDP of the US itself several times, or almost three times the GDP of the
US itself. So, it's a
		

00:06:32 --> 00:06:40

			we went into that world, which is a world of technology companies, if you look at the world
technology companies, you say, Well, how about a world that is run by
		

00:06:42 --> 00:06:53

			people who own those and run those the CEOs of those technology companies? What will that will look
like or what, what will drive their decision making. And then
		

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

			what runs commonly as it's read through all of this
		

00:06:59 --> 00:07:06

			is the people who own the money and run the money, the bankers of the world, the financials of the
world,
		

00:07:07 --> 00:07:20

			who take decisions. Now all of that depends on what drives them. And that is the reason why it is so
important to have education, which is based on principles and ethics and values.
		

00:07:21 --> 00:08:00

			Because process ensures compliance to principles and ensure that you reach your goal in a way that
is honorable, and that is beneficial for all the people in the game. For all those people in the
world, especially those who cannot and do not have the power to protect themselves. If you had a
principle based world, you would not be seeing what you're seeing today for example. And the final
point is to have metrics because metrics enables measurement to progress, unless we have metrics
unless we no matter how indistinct or in
		

00:08:02 --> 00:08:07

			virtualization in I was inaccurate, not inaccurate, but yeah, indistinct and
		

00:08:09 --> 00:08:53

			indefinite, those metrics might be it is essential to have metrics, because without metrics, you
have no clue. I went backward forwards, I will fast enough to fast and so on, so forth. So, to
quickly sum up, goal is critical, because without goal we have no direction. So goal determines
direction. process ensures compliance to principles and therefore, principles are very important to
established and the process to reach the goal must comply with those principles. And then finally,
metrics enables measurement of progress. Metrics enables measurements of progress or some Allah
Allah will carry Value Survey bedrock together
