Characteristics of Quality Leaders

(I taught this to final year Engineering students when I was working as an Assistant Professor in a college. I am sharing here with you now.) (from ‘ Race without a finish Line’ by Warren H.Schmidt and Jerome P. Finnigan. In fact I did not use this book directly to teach. The book I used had this reference. Thanks to them) They give priority to internal as well as external customers. They empower, rather than control, subordinates. They emphasize improvement rather than maintenance. They emphasize prevention They encourage collaboration rather than competition. They train and coach, rather than direct and supervise. They learn from problems. They continually try to improve communications. They continually demonstrate their commitment to quality. They choose suppliers based on quality not by price. They establish organizational systems to support the quality effort.They encourage and recognize team effort.

Truth or Myth?

Who knows the fact? 1) 7 or 70 appears through out the scriptures. Agree? 2) Bible uses the term “day” for a thousand years (2 Pet. 3:8) Agree? 3) Adam to Abraham- 2000 years. It is history 4) Abraham to Jesus-2000 years. It is history 5) From Jesus till date-2000 years. It is history again. So total years of mankind on earth is 6000 years. Does these 6000 years are resembles 6 days of creation week? Look at point 2. (Remember, we do not know when God created earth, but we know that, from bible, God created humans on earth 6000 years ago) Then On Sabbath day, God took rest. If it is so, next 1000 years should be millennium year. (Great Sabbath) So 7 days of week so as 7000 years of mankind on earth. NOTE: This is not an attempt to date-set the rapture, because that the date is known only to God.

Daniel's 70th week

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, 1. to finish the transgression, and 2. to make an end of sins, and 3. to make reconciliation for iniquity, and 4. to bring in everlasting righteousness, and 5. to seal up the vision and 6. to seal up the prophecy, and 7. to anoint the most Holy. Explanation Read carefully. The God’s plan is very clear. Lucifer violated God's Law. Lucifer is the origin of sin. This devil has to be defeated.
