Loving Man is the truest form of loving God
Did you buy American today? If so, that was the smart, patriotic deed of the day. Let’s all repeat that again tomorrow to create jobs and rebuild our country and lives.
If not then when will you stop the practice that creates trade deficit and job erosion, decimates the manufacturing sector and innovation in America?
God Bless America, and may you be a part of those blessings. Listen to Andy Grove, he tells the truth as is.
The unhappy reach to God in want, not in love and celebration, making theirs a conditional, need based supplication teetering from hope to despair, often questioning and mostly dissatisfied.
To be happy is in our own hands – to a very large extent, if not entirely, and the basic simple, steps to happiness are:
So be happy. It is in your hands. It’s in your head. It’s in your grasp. When you hit the peak of all 4 you will be real close to experiencing God.
“He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator” – Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
“Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
“Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal” – Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad” – C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
“Change before you have to” – Jack Welch (1935)
“Surround yourself with people who are open to change. If you are always in the company of cynics, you will soon find yourself becoming like them. A cynic knows all the reasons why something cannot be done. Instead, spend time with people who have a “can-do” approach” – Azim Premji (1945)
For about 400 years its been agreed that change management is a good idea … so what’s new then, except the same old resistance?
“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” – Steve Jobs
In-n-Out, iPhone, Pixar, Flip, Prius are proof that innovation redefines expectation, and changes how we live.
“To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines” – Steve Jobs
Innovation + Discipline are the foundation of greatness for above companies, and will always remain the foundation of great firms and great managers who run them. Delorean was innovation without discipline; and GM no innovation since 1957.
It’s the same world, just different attitudes – one could lead to God as it optimizes human potential.
Karma is, for all purposes, project management of life – project being all things we need to do, management being how. If we applied best business practices to our personal lives and relationships, relationship retention scores will improve, ROI on emotional investments will be high and chances of being happy for longer brighten, so it makes sense to act best at home and when off work than not.
Take those MBA, PMP, Black-belt skills and lessons to heart and build love and relationships on them as love and home don’t deserve or need less than business. Education refines so seek refinement.
Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid, but know that that means prudently, sensitively, kindly bold or mighty forces could also crush. And since it’s all here and now, the cause and effect as real as squandered or earned promotions and profits, be cognizant, manage expectations, and give more – just enough is not enough.
“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act” – Swami Vivekananda
Bottom-line, Unequivocal doctrine of the Mahabharat is battling and destroying evil doers.
Nidal Malik Hassan and other killers of the innocent, and supporters and breeders of the killers of the innocent must be battled and destroyed.
Duryodhan was vanquished, so must these hate filled death mongers. Where is Krishna, and where is Arjun?
