Ecclesiastes 1 - 12

This was the third book of Solomon. This was when he was long in years and reflects on his days. It's q sharp considered to the Song of songs where God wasn't even mentioned.

He suggests that pleasure and wisdom living have the same fate. We all are long forgotten. Striving to acquire either brings great distress. For everything is meaningless.

For there're nothing better for a man than to enjoy the fruit of his hands. For toiling under the sun must bring enjoyment.

Marriage should be seen with God in it just like a cord of three strands. For each can protect each other. For surely, the simple things in life should be praised and advertised as good.

Whoever loves money has never enough. The labourer sleeps well for he enjoyed his toil under sun during the short days in his earth. Bring shoe to find enjoyment in our prosperity is a blessing from God.

For we all pass through under the shadow. Thinking how we put ourselves through help so we can have enough money to enjoy in our old days. But God says how do we know the future?

For when times are good, we need to happy. But when times are bad, consider that God gave us both. A wise man stays away from all extremes. For surely this short needs to be enjoyed for what has been given to us. For there're nothing more other than that to enjoy.

Yet the world teaches us the proper time to get money and wealth is now. We should strive for success and recognition and yet all this is meaningless.

Not all righteous get what our sins deserve. Neither do the wicked. All do what God has foreseen for them. For noone can predict what awaits for us. For the all die and are forgotten.

So go and enjoy life with your wife. For in grave, which awaits all of us, there're neither to enjoy or to chante. For this is our lot, to enjoy the work of our hands all the days of our lives.

Whoever watches the wind will not plant. For surely we need work for our food. I need to remember the Lord in the days of my youth. For the time will come when God I won't enjoy the work of my hands.

Words of the wise are like gold. And much studying wearies the soul. For at the end of all things, we need to fear God, for he will bring everything we do into judgment.

Spiritual Intelligence and Leadership

Spiritual Intelligence  is one of the latest buzzwords in the leadership field. It is increasingly recognised that leaders not only need emotional intelligence but also spiritual intelligence. Depending on how we define spiritual leadership, it can be seen as a crucial component of authentic leadership necessary to cope with a dramatically changing world constantly threatened by toxic behaviour. In essence, spiritual intelligence is the quest for better understanding of two key foundation principles of authentic leadership: The inner self : The quest for self-knowledge is a crucial component of inner peace and confidence. Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...
