I really enjoy the culture here in my workplace.

I get inspired and truly believe that the philosophy is good for me as a person for character development and my work here in the hospital.

One BIG philosophy is the Toyota Way.

Give you some examples…

The right process will produce the right results

1. Build a culture of stopping to fix problems, to get quality right from the first
2. Standardized tasks are the foundation for continuous improvement and employee empowerment
3. Use visual control so no problems are hidden

Continuously solving root problems drives organizational learning

1. Go and see for yourself to thoroughly understand the situation (Genchi Genbutsu, 現地現物);
2. Make decisions slowly by consensus, thoroughly considering all options (Nemawashi, 根回し); implement decisions rapidly;
3. Become a learning organization through relentless reflection (Hansei, 反省) and continuous improvement (Kaizen, 改善).

I love quotes..they depict wisdom, they speak volumes in short sentences

Here are some I gathered, to encourage a friend and also myself.

The following generally speaks of how we ought to view things in a different perspective, a paradigm shift.

• What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
  -Richard Bach
• It’s not the load that breaks you down - its the way you carry it. -Lou Holtz
• Crap is not what happens to you;
  it is what you do with crap that happens to you.
  -paraphrased by Eu-Jzin
• Instead of giving myself reasons why I can’t,
  I give myself reasons why I can.
  -unknown
• When one door closes another door opens;
  but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door,
  that we do not see the ones which open for us.
  -Alexander Graham Bell
• A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure.
  -unknown

• God is omnipotent and all powerful - scriptures testifies that (amen!)…Elohim expresses the might of the Creator God. El Shaddai means the almighty God (Gen 17:1)
• Our faith depends on His power…and God is powerful, thus our faith is strengthened by that fact.
• When God is not the foundation of the building…troubles and problems can ensue.
• When we are in pain, we tend to blame God…our perspective tend to be very LIMITED…
• When problems ensue, we question the power of God.
• Our finite minds fail to comprehend the infinite God
• When troubles ensues, it is NOT due to God’s powerlessness but rather most times, is due to our own choices and sin. We cannot blame God for the problems we create ourselve. We have to take responibility of our actions. God’s attributes demands that He be Just and Holy. But His love, mercy, and grace may be shown when He holds back a more demanding punishment than we deserve!
• We cannot blame God…it could be WORSE!?
• When God is the master and commander..we can have assurance and confidence that he is all powerful and omnipotent. Such confidence can lead us to depend on Him and to trust in His power. What we need to do is to allow the Holy Spirit to work in us to demostrate that power!

The quote follows the three basic (impt) steps of classical education.

Reading supplies a person with the information needed to deal with some difficulty.

Conferring with another person hones all that information, helps a person to prioritise the massive amount of information so that it can be useful.

Finally, the act of writing is helpful to express what is needed to solve the difficulty in a very clear way.

Short message points by Rev Ki

“Except the Lord builds it, all is in vain…” Psalm 127:1

This is the foundation in building anything - relationships, churches, bulidings, camps…

Many families today, even Christian ones, are unable to escape the trend where families are not close to each other unlike in the past.

3 Characteristics of Godly families

1. Spiritual dependence on God (individual)
2. Live in awareness of God
3. Implementation of God’s principles

If we are unable to defend/speak for our faith… when our faith is challenged, we are proned to wander and leave God. Hence it is important to know what we believe in.

Strong relationships do not come by chance, like all else, diligence and effort must be made.

Many of us have bibles (sometimes even more than one~!) but the contents remains a mystery to us…Let God’s word be the rule and the last word in all things.

Think not many of my friends read. Some people would argue that’s why so many men are asses.

A good book doesn’t just describe lives of other people (fictional or not) but  they make arguments about the kind of person we ought to be. They inspire improvements…

Are we so stinking self-important that whatever that happens to US, must be the WORSE, the SCARIEST thing??

Part of being a man is COMPETENCE…and CONFIDENCE (note, NOT smugness). Part of being a man is believing you can handle it.

Conclusion?

Suck it up and find a way to deal with it.

Quit whining and whinge-ing and do something. anything, just do something about it.
