GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS (GNH)
“Whatever work we do, whatever goals we have – and no matter how these may change in this changing world –
ultimately without peace, security and happiness we have nothing. That is the essence of the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Our most important goal is the peace and happiness of our people and the security and sovereignty of the nation.”

COMMUNITY & TRUST
”The glue that holds all
relationships together -
including the relationship between the
leader and the led is trust, and trust
is based on integrity.”
Brian Tracy
