Regarding Missions And Directions

A Special Note To You
I was walking down life’s highway, a long time ago
One day, I read a sign that said ”HEAVEN’S GROCERY STORE”
As I got a little closer, the door opened wide
When I came to my self, I was already standing inside and saw a host of angels
They were standing everywhere
One handed a basket and said “My child shop with LOVE”
Everything a Christian needed was in the grocery store
First I got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row
Farther down was UNDERSTANDING. You need that everywhere you go
I got a box or two of WISDOM and a bag or two of FAITH
I couldn’t miss the HOLY SPIRIT, He was all over the place
I stopped to get STRENGTH
SALVATION was for free, so I took enough of it for you and me
As I went up to the aisle, I saw PRAYER
I took some for when I got outside, I would run right in to my sin
PEACE and JOY were plentiful. They were on the last shelf
SONGS and PRAISES were hanging near so I helped myself
Then I started to pay my grocery bill, for I thought I had everything needed for the MASTER’S WILL
I said to the angel, “How much do I owe Thee?”
He smiled and said, ”My child, CHRIST PAID FOR THEM for you a long, long time ago…”
ALL THINGS WHATEVER YOU ASK IN PRAYER,
BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE…

On Man's Merit
The wise man is he who loves and reveres God. A man's merit lies in his knowledge and in his deeds, not in his color, faith, race, or descent. For remember, my friend, the son of a shepherd who possesses heir to the throne, if he be ignorant. Knowledge is your true patent of nobility, no matter who your father or what your race maybe.

On the True Worth of Knowledge
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely, more than much knowledge that is idle.
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
If your knowledge teaches you not to rise above human weakness and misery and lead your fellow man on the right path, you are indeed a man of little worth and will remain such till Judgement Day.
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them but do not make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.

Changes
A truly brilliant intellectual mind is one that is never shocked by what is new, or different from its mode of thinking. It welcomes mental challenges. A bright mind does not cling to old beliefs and old concepts, simply because they are believed by the majority.

Your Life, My Life
Your life is a written letter that people will continue to read and remember. Vision without action is just a dream. Action without vision is just an exercise.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And I looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on the way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
--- Diverged in a wood, and I ---
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
---Robert Frost

On running a business
“To do a good job with anything, you've got to know about it. Then do the best you can, study, trust God, be honest, give value received, have good merchandise, treat people right, and hold your own when you know you are right.”

On Absorptive Capacity
Has direct bearing on our performance, being given job in return, get paid / compensated. This is also responsibility plus experience plus discipline plus determination.

On Friendship
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.

10 MOST DANGEROUS DECISION TRAPS
In the book Decision Traps: The Ten Barrier to Brilliant Decision Making and How to Overcome Them, the authors observed that decision research in the last two decades has shown that people in numerous fields tend to make the same kind of mistakes. They highlighted the most common errors in the following ten “decision traps”.
1. Plunging in – beginning to gather information and reach conclusions without first taking a few minutes to think about the crux of the issue you’re facing or to think through how you believe decisions like this one should be made.
2. Frame blindness – setting out to solve the wrong problem because you have created a mental framework for your decision, with little thought, that causes you to overlook the best options or lose sight of important objectives.
3. Lack of frame control – failing to consciously define the problem in more ways than one or being unduly influenced by the frame of others.
4. Overconfidence in your judgement – failing to collect key factual information because you are too sure of your assumptions and opinions.
5. Short-sighted shortcuts – relying inappropriately on “rules of thumb” such as implicitly trusting the most readily available information or anchoring too much on convenient facts.
6. Shooting from the hip – believing you can keep straight in your head all the information you’ve discovered, and therefore “winging it” rather than following a systematic procedure when making the final choice.
7. Group failure – assuming that with many smart people involved, good choices will follow automatically, and therefore failing to manage the group decision-making process.
8. Fooling yourself about feedback – failing to interpret the evidence from the past outcomes for what it really says, either because you are protecting your ego or because you are tricked by hindsight.
9. Not keeping track – assuming that experience will make its lessons available automatically, and therefore failing to keep systematic records to track the results of your decisions and failing to analyze these results in ways that reveal their key lessons.
10. Failure to audit your decision process – failing to create an organized approach to understanding your own decision-making, so you remain constantly exposed to all the above mistakes.
