book 4 lesson 23

body and mind

after you reach a certain age, do you stop eating? if you are forty years old, do you still have to eat? of course you do. you have to eat every day of your life to be healthy. your body needs nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.

the same way your body can't go without food, your mind also needs to receive knowledge to be healthy. you're never too ald to learn. the best way to receive knowledge is by reading.

you can know what's happening in your world if you stop and read the newapaper for a few minutes each day. you don't have to read every word or every line in the newspaper to know what's in it. select topics that are more interesting to you.

if you know how to read but don't read, you have no advantage over an individual who doesn't know how to read.

book 4 lesson 21

reputation

reputation is the opinion people have about you, based on the choices you have made. when those choices are morally correct, it will be said of you that you are a person of integrity.

you can't buy integrity with money.
you can't buy honesty with money.
you can't buy a reputatin with money.

you don't gain a good reputation instantly. you get it day by day, month by month, and year by year. you get it decision by decision - individual choices you have made about your attitudes and actions.

if you want to be a person of integrity, follow these three rules: keep your word, show respect toward others, live by a high moral standard.

finally, you will never get a reputation with what you intend to do, only with what you have already done.

promotion

an individual entered his supervisor's room and asked what he needed to do to get a promotion in the company. his supervisor said that there was going to be a meeting in the company. then he asked this individual to go to the store and see if they had pineapples for the meeting. the individual left the room and after sometime he returned and said they didn't have any pineapples.

then his supervisor asked what fruit they had. he answered:

"i am sorry sir, but i didn't ask that"

in the meantime another employee entered the room.
the supervisor asked him the same thing.
after a little while he returned with the answer:
"they have no pineapples in the store, but there are aranges, apples, bananas, pears and watermelons. i checked the price for each fruit. i asked a discount for a large volume. here is the phone number of the store. we can order the fruit over the phone and they will deliver them here in the company for us."
who do you think got the promotion ?

talents

every individual has different skills, gifts and talents. many times you find people that will say:

i don't have any talent.
i don't know what talent i have.

if this happens to you, don't panic. you are normal.
what you need to do is take the time to ponder about your potential, your possibilities and your opportunities.
when you ask yourself...

what's my mission in life?
what college am i going to attend?
what career will i have?
what about my family?

sooner or late you will receive the answer you seek. through meditation you will receive the inspiration you need to know exactly what your mission is. you will find the answers that will give you direction, comfort nd peace of mind.
