Chaos

Deception


Upright people will be gentle with each other and the world in general. Worldly people will be shrewd with each other, because they understand their shrewd way of thinking better than gentility and compassion. Worldly people will call upright people stupid and weak. Worldly people try to use the system to their advantage regardless of who they hurt. The Upright work within their system and make necessary changes to it for the benefit of most people.
Therefore, be wary of worldly people. They will deceive you. They will exaggerate their plight. They will not be diligent to rules. They will lie. They will take bribes. They will try to confuse you. They are two-faced. They will create a system that is chaotic so they can steal resources with no consequences. Worldly people will try to make you desperate, trapped and hopeless so they can have power over you. A worldly, shrewd leader will give false testimony about your work performance to make you feel inferior, desperate and undervalued.
Do not let that happen to you. You are loved. Go to your family and friends. Seek out upright people. Never submit to an evil power. Undermine the authority of shrewd people. Try to dethrone the corrupt.

Chaos

A chaotic system is a system in which people don’t know if they should follow rules or not. Worldly people are hypocrites. They tell people to follow a rule while they themselves break it. Worldly people will set up a chaotic system so they can take advantage of desperate people. They want desperate, confused, pliable people to manipulate. Honest people who follow the rules are not rewarded and some shrewd people who break the rules are rewarded. Worldly people who are in power will arbitrarily and unjustly decide who they want to promote. Shrewd people who are in a leadership position want their subordinates to feel the only way to achieve success is to curry their favor by stabbing a friend in the back or persecuting a group of people. A dark system run by shrewd people is chaotic, deceptive, confusing and hopeless.

A system based on individual merit, a fair assessment of performance for promotion and a fair way to make your voice heard will end a chaotic system.

Thinking

                                                                                                      Feb 10, 2018 Thinking Oppressive, unscrupulous leaders may try to intimidate you into not thinking for yourself and speaking out against unfair practices. They cause bad things to happen to you if you try to stop people from cheating or hurting their neighbors for social gain. People who live in systems like that are cowed into not thinking about how their system is structured and speaking out to try to change it. Frequently, those same people take the goodies that are structured into the system to keep the population from asking questions. Weak people will trade freedoms for entertainment and not insist that they have quality lea...

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

I just finished the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. As a mother, I found it very insightful. While I think Ms. Chua was into extreme parenting, I do think she has a point about expecting the best of our children to show them how much they can achieve. I recommend every parent read this book. Several of her quotes are worth noting: On Teaching: "What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until your good at it. To get good at anything you have to work, and children on their own never want to work, which is why it its crucial to override thier preference." "I am here to prepare them for the world, not be their friend." (I superimposed these two ideas onto what it means to be a teacher when I was at a recent interview for a teaching position.) "Tenacious practice, practice, practice is crucial for excellence; rote repetion is underrated in America." (I think she has a point. I wonder if that strategy plus memorizat...

The Problem Of School Dropouts

I read an article in the Phi Delta Kappan entitled Keeping Youths in School: An International Perspective . This article examines the vocational training strategies other countries use to help reduce the number of school dropouts. American tends to use vocational training as a way to entice unmotivated students into education. Whereas,other countries have a higher regard for vocational training and nationally respected licenses can be obtained in these programs. Employers trust these programs to prepare workers and the programs themselves are constructed to allow people to train for white-color jobs in their field. With its “college for all” mantra, the United States uses VET (career and technical training in the U.S.) mainly to engage unmotivated students and introduce them to various career options. This strategy makes the United States an outlier. In the more successful countries, VET has little to do with engaging unmotivated students, though that is one robust outcome, nor with ...
