This letter was sent today to my team members, to address some problems between members of the team.
Dear All,
Dear All,
I find this Psalm 62 interesting, as it tells us what is the right working philosophy:
Psalm 62
62:1 | Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. | |
62:2 | He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. | |
62:3 | How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. | |
62:4 | They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. | |
62:5 | My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. | |
62:6 | He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. | |
62:7 | In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. | |
62:8 | Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. | |
62:9 | Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. | |
62:10 | Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. | |
62:11 | God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. | |
62:12 | Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
So, if we have the ability, that is given by God, not because we created it ourselves. Rather, we should treat others in a fair manner as we want others to treat us. This is the basic principle governing human relationship in any team, or group of people.
While we need to have the work done in good quality, the more important thing is that we also make ourselves a better human being improved in certain aspects of our character. This is the goal for everybody in the team, myself included. Let's make efforts on that in the following months...
Have a nice evening!
