What brings you nearer to the truth and the light?

According to Peter Drucker,  as he wrote about management, the more is drawn nearer the Scriptures.   A manager/management writer has to be near the truth and the light.   For example, he said that one of the most elusive truth in a business is the P and L.  Depending on your accounting policy, you could always alter the bottom line.

Thus you have to find the truth and when you are nearer the truth, you become nearer the Light.  And the Light is the  Lord.

The Proverbs 6:23 says that the the commandment is the lamp and the law is the light.   Thus Peter Drucker and Proverbs are convergent.  There is a truth in commandments that correspond to the teaching of the Scriptures.

Jesus Declares I am the light of the world, the truth shall set you free John 8:25 -58

From the Gospel  of St Thomas  114 Sayings from Gospel of St Thomas (not in NT)

From Verse 61.6

5) Therefore I say: If someone becomes < like > (God), he will become full of light.
But if he becomes one, separated (from God), he will become full of darkness.

Verse 77:   Jesus says:

(1) “I am the light that is over all. I am the All. The All came forth out of me. And to me the All has come.”
(2) “Split a piece of wood — I am there.
(3) Lift the stone, and you will find me there.”

One of the interesting points in the Gospel of St Thomas is that the Kingdom of God is here at hand.   There is a divine light within all of us, we just  need to open our eyes.  We should restore earth nearer to the Kingdom of God.  That means a  lot  of Christian hard work to bring peace prosperity, lessen hardship, sickness, accidents, war and the like.  To help one another  as children of God

Which is better mortality or immortality?

In our lives we are confronted with the question of death.  Thus diseases, Alzheimer, longevity and health are important concerns as we grow older. And this is the question addressed by Discovery Science  through the wormhole with Morgan Freeman   "Can you cheat death?"

There are methods that certainly does that:

1.  Stem cells.  We can regenerate our aging organs using embryonic stem cells.  However as we grow older, we get less and less of embryonic stem cells

2.  Discovery  of the ability of some sea creatures to regroup together even if they are cut, and /or regenerate by a Korean scientist.  We still have to find a way how this can be done or applied

3. Genetic re engineering.  Some of the genes can be spliced and re  ordered so that cancer, and other corruption of genes are corrected.  It has been done in pigs.

But what is better for the specie?  Immortality or Mortality  There is game simulation where the survival of mortals and immortals were compared.  The immortals initially won but later on the mortals got the better of the two because of their ability to get better healthier younger and stronger players in the field.  Why as individuals we want immortality, for the human race, mortality ensures the progress and winning of the human species.

More on learning to do experience: repairing a kitchen screen door closer

It is about getting better...

The household has been bothered by a kitchen screen door whose pneumatic stopper has ceased working because the the screws (2) were ripped off from the anchor of the alum door and the unit.   And the door lay idle for about several days and we could not use the door.   There were talks of buying a new door stopper and calling a repairman.

Today I got the chance to analyze the situation and appreciate the problem.  All I need to do was to get two tapping screws a millimeter or two that are oversized the ones that ripped off.  So I went to the usual hardware which closed early.  Then I happened to see a store that sell all types of nuts and bolts owned by certain Mike Cordero right next to the entrance of the Binangonan cockpit.   I got initially two for P2.00 but did not serve the purpose (too small) and later for P2.50 and that fitted (kabit2) Presto.  Problem solved for only P4.50 and some sweating under the noon sun

But problems can be solved if there is a passion to learn how to do it, and think hard how the problem can be solved.

3.  Show how much you value your time.
Do you have a planner?  Do you spend more time at FB or dwelling on 6 o clock news that are not making you any money.  As per Henry Sy, we are all given only 24 hours a day, no more or less, but do use that time to give more value to your business to yourself

So the successful entrepreneurs value time act fast, and are intuitive in face of uncertainty
