Three Ways To Become A Learning Machine

Image
By Paolo Gallo I smile whenever I look at my university diploma hanging on the wall, because everything I learned then is no longer relevant now. Does it means that we should stop wasting all this energy, time and money on university? Not really: rather, as soon as we complete our “formal studies”, we need to become learning machines. I’ll rephrase it: we must become machines of continuous learning. We have no choice or we will be out of the game, left behind like cavemen after the Stone Age. For a period of 25 years, as a HR executive, I began interviews with candidates by asking: “What have you learned in the last six-twelve months?”. Unprepared for this kind of question, many candidates weren’t able to answer: the interview was over.

Food for Thought

There is this story of two people who went to India, one with a vision and the other without a vision. They both sat down somewhere and watched the massive crowd moving everyone of them on bare foot. One said, "oh, there's so much poverty in this place! This people are suffering". But the other said to himself, "I think this people(so great a population!) Can make me a millionaire, all I need to do is to bring. Shoes and sell to them." So he went back home, went to a shoe manufacturing company and asked them to produce plastic shoe for him, 25cents a pair. That's the story of TOMMY HILFIGER. Vision made him! Two men, in the same environment. Under the same circumstance, but while one was seeing problems, the other was seeing an opportunity to make money. It's not the

Word of God RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY 28 JANUARY, 2016. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PhD THEME: YOU CAN BE A SUCCESS — A TRUE SUCCESS! My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings....For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). Getting a school degree is important, but there’s more to life. There’s something more important than the education you receive from the four walls of an academic institution; it’s called spiritual education. For some people, having acquired an academic degree, they think that’s all they need. While it’s good to be formally educated, true success is of the Spirit. This accounts for the reason many of the world’s intelligentsia have a life that’s the complete antithesis of true success. Some people made straight “A”s in school but got a “D” in life. For example, a medical doctor who, after treating so many people, contracts a disease that has defied all medical solutions. Now, he’s ...

Word Therapy RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **He’s Your Strength And Shield!** Wednesday 27th January: Pastor Chris PhD The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1). In the Psalm above, David wasn’t asking the Lord for strength. It lacks spiritual wisdom to keep praying and asking the Lord to give you strength when, already, He’s the strength of your life. If the Lord is the strength of your life, you don’t need to ask Him for strength, because if you have Him, you have strength; therefore, no room for weakness in your life. The Apostle Paul, with this understanding, made an extraordinary claim in 2 Corinthians 12:10. He said, “...for when I am weak, then am I strong.” He knew His strength was the Holy Spirit that dwelt in him. No wonder He said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13 NKJV).
