Three Character Classic - Chinese quote from Song Dynasty (13th century)

人之初 (rén zhī chū) People at birth,

性本善 (xìng běn shàn) Are naturally good (kind-hearted).

性相近 (xìng xiāng jìn) Their natures are similar,

習相遠 (xí xiāng yuǎn) (But) their habits make them different (from each other).

Everything is connected

”Our Lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past, and present and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future”

  1. BACKGROUND OF SOLOMON

    1. His Acquisition of Wisdom (1 Kings 3:5-15).

    2. His Fame for Wisdom (1 Kings 3:16-28; 4:29-34; 10:1-10,24-25; cf. Matthew 12:42).

    3. His Downfall (1 Kings 11:1-13). Is it possible for a man to have wisdom, yet not use it? Does that detract from the strength of his words of wisdom? 

       

      1. The word ‘proverb’ (mischele) means “to be like, a comparison; noting likeness in things unlike.”

The blessings of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it

Proverbs 10 verse 22

I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.

The Life of Pi

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

Dalai Lama

Children Full of Life - I recommend to watch all five videos.10 years old, Grade 4 students, 35 students and one amazing teacher. Here is the first episode.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.

Swami Vivekananda, Mahayogi India

(1863-1902)

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit.

John 15:5

Life is all about God and His ways. As we begin to understand why He does what He does, this “journey” takes on new meaning. We begin to see our lives the way God sees them. More importantly, we begin to understand His heart, and as this occurs, we find ourselves experiencing the “life more abundant” that Jesus talks about.
