Psalm 1: 1-6
The New Inernational Version
Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stands in the way of sinners
or sits in the seat of mockers.But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Michael E. Gerber
The E-Myth Revisited (p. 254-255), Harper Business
But I think that the things we have come to care about are insignificant when placed on the scale that Dostoyevsky, or Camus, or Tolstoy, or Kierkegaard, or Kafka, or the Old Testament, or the New Testament, or Rollo May would use. The problem is, Sarah, we’re just not very serious people these days. We even speak about values, when we speak about them, as though they were a commodity like a sweater or a pair of Gucci pumps that can be acquired by writing a check. Much like Leadership, Empowerment, Management, Relationship, and Quality Training seminars that abound today. As though by getting a little training we will suddenly find ourselves full of more substantial stuff. I think not, Sarah. I think that we, playing our end game at the bottom of the twentieth century, are going to need one hell of a lot more than anything our “trainers” have in store for us.
