Clarity in observing listening, Sunnao (open mind) communications

Be better than before, than yesterday...


Memorandum

To:     All

Thru:    CCS

CC: xxxxx

Subject:   February 19,, 2026

Objective:

    1.  To achieve efficiency by having people follow a uniform process  or system
    2.  To move as a community forward
    3.   To achieve viability and continuity by being profitable

Background

   1.   An elderly employee was less than truthful regarding her timing in and then
         attending to personal matter, and doing the payroll herself, failed to deduct
         her undertime

   2.  A staff mentioned about her previous employer (not a nice topic when we
       are enjoined to observe FAR

  3.  An elderly staff discussed generically about cash advance, but the topic assigned was about revolving fund and pcf.  not a good communication or initiative to research

  4.  An elderly staff answered that we do not have system!!??

  5.  Closed mind talaga isa pang elderly:    injecting her agenda despite a prescribed
        agenda

What to do:

    1.  Practice SUNNAO.   Empty your cup.   Nothing will be poured into your cup if
        its full.

    2.  Observe ABCD DOCTRINE

         ACCEPT

        BELIEVE

        COOPERATE

        DANCE WITH THE MUSIC

   3.  LISTEN

        1  Hear with your ear,  LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART

        2.  A doctor can cure you by asking you questions and listening to you.

        3.  Dale Carnegie prescribes listening as an important practice in winning
            friends  and influence people

       How can we achieve our goal and be successful when certain people are hell
       bent on disagreeing (rather than agreeing)  right even the conversation starts

    4.  A SYSTEM IS IN PLACE

      Many new hires comment in a similar manner as we have heard today:  But that is 
      being objected to vehemently by this post.  No effort has been spared to 
      strengthen our system by documenting this properly at:

      1.  MC
      2.  Handbook
      3.  Admin plans
      4  Memoranda
      5.  Gmeet and  and seminars /workshop

      The only problems lies in:

     1.  Closed mind
     2.   Lack of ABCD, FAR, 3fold duties
     3.  Living in the past:   mentioning past jobs always.  (They can always return
          to previous employers if they are so endeared)

Homily last week: ephpheta - to open

It is all about being better.

The gospel last week was about ephpheta - meaning to open  (ears and eyes) in Aramaic. It came from Mark 7:31- 37 on the curing of the deaf mute.  This is part of the baptism ceremonies.  The celebrator touches the lips and ears of the child and says, "May the Lord Jesus, who made  the deaf to  hear, and the dumb to speak, grant that you soon be able to receive His word and profess His faith to the praise and glory of God the Father."

What is the importance of this?

l.  That we may Listen to our neighbors, and learn as we hear and see things;

2.  That we have an open mind;

3.  "That the purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one"

4.  Sunnao;

5.  That you can not pour more tea into a full cup.

6.  In learning, be like a child again learn, learn, learn.  (Some say it is LOL -learn observe learn)
