Those reminded are reminded not that they have forgotten but have stopped paying attention. What would be the basic tenets of life are being abandoned to escalation of sophisticated dysfunctional systems that on the surface look delicate. All can be saved only if it was known, since with knowledge has greater nations created their mighty power.
Elsewhere I wrote that it is nations that have biblical values which are guarded to the core that survive and are seen as the epitome of greatness and wealth. A nation that has no value is a naked nation and it has no firm pillars to stand on. It has no base to build its foundation on regardless of whether it has abundant resources. Entrenched national values in noble nations supersede any human created laws most of which are built on convenience. We have to seek the truth if we are to be saved.
The quotes this week is a continued extraction from a book that read in full provides practical tips for living a fulfilled positive life. I am sure the few selected quotations from this book listed below will enlighten you to one or two life lessons. Read and enjoy:
LETTERS FROM J.D ROCKEFELLER TO HIS SON – Perspective, ideology and Wisdom
“Playing stupid brings you many benefits. The meaning of pretending to be stupid is to stay a low profile and become humble, in other words, to hide your cleverness. The smarter the person, the more necessary it is for them to play stupid, because as the saying goes – the more mature the rice, the more the sag. —– Son, only after having bobbies can you then do it with ease. Now, start to love acting like a fool!“
“All dignity and honour must be obtained by one’s own creation, so that such honour can last. But in our society today, the children of the rich are in a situation where they do not advance or retreat. Unfortunately, many of them lack the enterprising spirit, but are prone to leisure and profligacy, so even though they grew up in a wealthy environment , they die in poverty. —— Therefore, you have to teach your children that if they want to perfect themselves, gain achievements, enjoy the joy of success, win the respect of society, and praise life, they can only create with their own hands, let them know that the crown of honour will only be worn on the head of those who dare to explore, let them know that diligence is for themselves, not the others, and they are the biggest beneficiaries of diligence.”
“The way of thinking that guides us to use our intelligence is far more important than the level of our intelligence. Even the highest degree of education cannot change this basic rule of success. The educational level of innate talent is not the reason behind good performance, but the management of one’s thoughts. The best businessmen never have unfounded worry, but they are passionate. It is not easy to improve the quality of talent, but it is easy to improve the method of using talent. —— Many people believe the so-called ‘knowledge is power’. In my opinion, the sentence is only half right. People who use ‘lack of intelligence’ as an excuse also misunderstood the meaning of this sentence. Knowledge is kind of potential power. Only when knowledge is applied constructively, then will it show its power.”
“Merchants are chasers of profits and wealth. They rely on creating resources and obtaining resources from others, and even forcing others to give up resources to make themselves rich. Therefore, taking risks is an indispensable means for merchants to conquer the market.”
