He can perform his duties best only when he is the epitome of universally-acknowledged values like honesty, loyalty, courage, hard work and so on. Deviation from such duties only happened when civil servants, instead of inculcating such moral and highly esteemed values in their character, vie for personal gains and enrichment.
