Quote by John Chrysostom

“Therefore let nothing trouble you-neither anything that happens, nor anything that threatens to happen. For the waves do not violently shake the rock; rather, the more forcefully they dash upon it, the more they become dissipated. This is the way things work for the one standing firm; and indeed, there is a greater advantage. For the waves do not shake the rock; and they not only have not shaken you, but they have made you stronger. Such is wickedness, and such is virtue. The one, when attacked, is destroyed; while the other, when attacked, shines more brilliantly.”

“Discipleship is not about making Christians fit for eternal life. We must see discipleship as equipping people to accomplish their Genesis Commission mandate. Discipleship is about equipping people to be God’s representatives and stewards in this life as we advance the Kingdom of God.”

“When employees are at odds over commission allocation, as a leader, an optimal /highly effective strategy entails meticulously assessing the quandary, proposing a transparent and collaborative resolution, securing consensus, meticulously documenting both the agreement and its implementation, and then enacting the solution with precision. Conflict resolution transcends being merely an art; it is equally a science. It aims at circling things out and putting the matters into perspective for the next move and it's purpose is to bring clarity to the situation and lay the groundwork for the next stage of the task or a new assignment.”

“The only private sector industry where employees work with their lives on stake for the interest of common people is media industry.”

“The code of the National Association of Broadcasters enunciates as a cardinal principle in American radio the provision of time by stations, without charge, for the presentation of public questions of a controversial nature. At the same time, it advises against the sale of time for the presentation of controversial issues except in the case of political broadcasts during political campaigns. The basic foundation for the prohibition against the sale of time for the presentation of controversial issues is the public duty of broadcasters to present such issues, regardless of the willingness of others to pay for their presentation. If time were sold for that purpose, it would have to be sold to all with the ability to pay, and as a result the advantage in any discussion would rest largely with those having the greater financial means to buy broadcasting time.”
