Random Building Thoughts - 2022-01-27

 

 -------------- DO! --------------

 

"Actions speak louder than words.
When people can't hear you,
you're not doing a damn thing!"
-- Bro. Joseph Citro PM

 

(You tell 'em, Bro. Joe!!!!!)

 

 -------------- TRUTH! --------------

 

"For anyone who is curious about Masonry.
This is what we stand for.
Anything else is a lie."
-- Bro. Charles Goodnight, Jan. 27, 2017

 

-------------- REFLECTIONS --------------

 

Organizations are direct reflections
of their Membership!
No Organization gets Better

 unless those who make it up get Better First!
Before you make any effort to Better
any Organization to which you belong,
first ask yourself what Work you have done
to Better yourself.
If you have nothing to show
for your own Betterment efforts,
then you are wasting your time
trying to Better your Organization. 

 

Once again:
Organizations are direct reflections
of their Membership!
The Organizational Reflection is YOU!
Improve yourself
and what you belong to Improves!

Reflections

 

-------------- A TEACHER'S CHARACTER --------------

 

-------------- MATURE! --------------

 

 

If you insist that no one is Perfect, 

and it is clearly Understood by me 

that this means that "no one's Mature", 

then God help us!

Perfecting Quest

 

-------------- WORK ON SOLUTIONS! --------------

 

 

Blaming others for your sinking boat
changes nothing about your situation
when your boat is still sinking,
especially if you're in it,
can't swim
and have no way to stay afloat.

Work on Solutions!

 

-------------- FOR THE FUTURE! --------------

 

 

"The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result.
He does not expect that his advanced ideas
will be readily taken up.
His work is like that of the planter
—for the future.
His duty is to lay the foundation
for those who are to come,
and point the way.”
― Nikola Tesla,
Problem of Increasing Human Energy

Yep.
I'm still working that angle
to this day!

 

-------------- MYTH -------------- 

 

"It once was possible for the ancients to say, 

'We are the chosen of God!' 

and to save all love and respect for themselves, 

projecting their malice 'out there.' 

We have now to learn somehow

 to quench our hate and disdain 

through the operation of an actual love 

. . . and with that fructify, 

simultaneously, 

both our neighbor's life 

and our own."
-- Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That

   

 -------------- I AM -------------- 

 

I: What is the Latin equivalent for the following words:

 now, by now, already / presently, immediately, 

soon, moreover, henceforth, indeed, just, further?

R: The Latin equivalent is "iam".

I: And the English equivalent for the Latin "am"?

R: Yikes!

For Further Light:

I AM

 

-------------- NOT THE SAME --------------

 

 

Does he mean like
having a skill-based title
without actual skills?

 

Strategy is Nothing...

without Execution!

 

-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------

 

 

And don't forget
"The Craft Mastered!"

For Further Light:
LIGHT!

 

-------------- END -------------- 

  

Be Well and Travel Light!
