A slogan of the GSBPA of WBTI --- To become more effective online communication in every online venue!
By Tiffany Chang
*****To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the most famous search engine services like Google! (www.google.com), Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.*****
"We need individuals who can restore hope and create positive changes in our society. It is our responsibility as educator to produce leaders who will take that initiative. To do so, we must be at the level of the individual student and alumnus. Utimately, the school must strengthen the student's intellect and create a better, bolder, and more ehical thinker who will yield the greatest impact on the community in roles as educators therapists, and business persons," siad Nancy Magnusson Fagan at the time when she was the Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University.*1
Today, one of the important slogan of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is: To become more effective online communication in every online venue!
Starting from 1980, the author had been benefit deeply from two main courses of the program of Doctorate Degree of Education (Ed. D.) in Institution Management of Pepperdine University.*2 They were: (1) ED 740 Computer Utilization in Institutional Management; and (2) ED 730 Methodological Approaches to Educational Research and Evaluation. The technical skills and knowledge of information management had sharpened my abilities of the research, management, and teaching in an national organization of information management and the graduate school of business administration. After many years of administrative resposibility in higher policy-making organization and teaching business school of famous universities, the author concentrated effort to study and acquire the knowledge and utilization of information management in the United States of America ten years after I received M. B. A. from Pepperdine. My two years of computer consulting job at the Computer Laboratory of the Graduate School of Education and Pshchology and the School of Business and Management of Pepperdine University advanced the practical experience for me to complete my dessertation entitled "A Study of the Impact of Enrollment in a Computer Science Class on Mathematics Scores and Attendance in a Secondary School". I taught information management for five years at the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chunghsing University.
Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.
In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."3
"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*4
"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *5
Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site." *5 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the most famous search engine services like Google! (google.com), Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.
"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*7
Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.
Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.*8
In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.
A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *9
President Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University took the opportunity to give the Grduate Schools Board of visitors a sneak preview of the campus in last May. The president, along with Dean of the business school Dr. Linda Livingstone, hosted several special guests including David Mount, Mrs. Reva Graziadio, who was accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, Aliva and Stevan Calvillo.
In Addition, President Andrew Benton welcome former U. S. President Gerald Ford. "It is so right that he is here today, becuase when he serve on our Board of Regents we were envisioning this project," President Benton remarked.*2 President Ford understood what the completion of the Drescher Graduate School meant. More importanly he understood that the project reprents all that is good about a generation of people who continue to build a great America.
"I think our country should be proud of the fact that we proved that free enterprise, free election opportunities, free economic systems could prevail over state-run, governmen controlled nations," said President Ford.
"How can we leave the world in a better conditiion than we found it? Near the top of such answers is this: Build a teaching institution that is grounded in timeless truths. Or, as our mission statement expresses it, 'Pepperdine is a Christian unversity committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.' That is a mission worth investing a life in," pointed out President Benton at his message on the "Pepperdine People".*10

SAVINGS FROM LEASE-PURCHASE PRACTICES
By Kenny Guinn*1
During the course of my administration, I have sought innovative ways to reduce costs for state government. On Monday, I was part of a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Conservation and Natural Resources Building, which will be constructed as part of the capitol complex in Carson City. I thought I would take a moment to tell you about this 120,000-square-foot building, which will actually help us save tax dollars.*2
Each year, state government leases 750,000 square feet of privately owned office space throughout Carson City. The costs associated with such leases are high. In state fiscal year 2002, for example, more than $22 million was spent statewide in rent by state agencies. And, since we usually reserve our bonding capacity for special purposes, such as new schools, university buildings, and prisons, the state has lacked sufficient bonding authority to build a new state office building.
To reduce costs for office space, I worked closely with State Treasurer Brian Krolicki to develop a financing option known as lease-purchase so that a new state office building could be constructed. Under this financing option, a private company will build the Conservation and Natural Resources facility on the capitol complex and will then lease the building to the state for 27 years. When the lease is completed, the state will own this building that will have an estimated value of $80 million.
This agreement helps our state. Once the state owns the building, we will be able to use this $80 million asset to dramatically reduce our rental costs for privately owned office space. During the term of the agreement, the state will receive a direct rental savings of more than $2 million and an operational benefit of $34 million. Moreover, because agencies will now be centralized, they can work together better to improve the services provided to citizens.
I have instructed state agencies to look into this option for other locations in Nevada, including Las Vegas. It is important that we use this innovative financing program in the creation of new buildings, when applicable, for the most efficient use of our taxpayers' dollars.*3

U. S. SECRETARY OF LABOR ELAINE CHAO kicked off a National Hispanic Worker initiative with a $1.9 million grant
By Tiffany Chang
"Getting people back to work is what this Department does. Giving people hope in their future is our job."
--- Secretary Elaine L. Chao
Ms. Elaine Chao, U. S. Secretary of Labor, kicked off a National Hispanic Worker initiative with a $1.9 million grant on March 16, 2004. The grant is geared to recruit and motivate workers for Southern Nevada's gaming and hospitality industry.
U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao and Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn said the new program and grants are as important to employers as they are to immigrant workers at the time when they spoke at Nevada Partners headquarters in North Las Vegas.
"New York - New York President Felix Rappaport, who serves on the board of the Culinary Training Academy that will oversee the grant, said the programs will help employers recruit workers. In addition, he said the new effort will help employers better motivate employees and improve the quality of hotel service, which he called key to the gaming industry." *1
Secretary Chao said that they looked at the need of Hispanic workers to access an array of programs when U. S. President Bush took office. "We looked at clusters where we could be of great service. We started a dialogue with (HERE) President (John) Willhelm. I came here and was very impressed with the programs he had put together. And really a confluence of factors and events (led to the program and grant) we announced today," Chao said.*2
Ms. Elaine Chao, the bright executive administrator of Bush's Reign, told the audience of several hundred Culinary workers that she remembers comings to the United States at her age of eight. She could not speak any English at that time. Secretary Chao said mastering the language was key to her success as a Peace Corps volunteer, head of United Way, and government service.
"She said the new program is designed to support immigrants with the same skills, help workers advance professionally and assist employers in matching placement needs with prospective workers." *3
Governor Guinn said the new programs will help employers find workers and help the employees quality for new jobs and advancement. He told the audience that the grant recognizes the success of the effective training programs that has been practiced and enjoyed here in Nevada.
"The technology that is helping to drive our robust productivity growth is changing the way we work and the types of jobs that are available. This Administration wants to ensure that our job training programs are relevant and that workers are encouraged to continually update their skills," pointed out Secretary Elaine Chao on the "Remarks Prepared for Delivery by
U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao
for AEI Conference --- The Benefits of Increased Productivity Growth for Workers," in Washington, D. C. on Wednesday, February 25, 2004. *4
"I recently returned from a trip to Washington and Oregon and talked with workers who were graduates of community college-based job-training programs. One young man told us that he lost his job in the California high-tech industry when the bubble burst and moved back home to Oregon. He learned about a special program at his local community college that partnered with a top Fortune 500 information technology company to train workers with skills in short supply. Today, thanks to that program, he is working for that company," said the Secretary.
"His story�Xand those of many other workers around the country�Xis the reason why the Labor Department's number one legislative priority this year is reforming the public workforce investment system that helps train workers. The goal is to bring this program into the 21st century so workers can be trained for real jobs in the real world." *5
At the age of 19, Elaine Chao was elected as a Scholar of the U. S. White House. U. S. Labor Secretary Chao was Chairperson of Federal Air Transportation and Vice President of Bank of American Main Office. In addition, she has contributed many years of community service and charity endeavor notably, as President of United Way, President of Peace Corps, and Senior Fellow of Heritage Foundation.*6
Secretary Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.
At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*7
Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.
Secretary Chao is married to the Assistant Majority Leader of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *8
"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with �sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."
According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.
As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.
The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as �oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.
"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*9
Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *10
To serve the community with wisdom and effort is the main creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is our pleasure to post the Press Release from the Office of Governor Kenny Guinn on March 16, 2004 as in the following: *11
GOV. GUINN, SECRETARY OF LABOR CHAO ANNOUNCE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY INITIATIVE FOR HISPANIC WORKERS
CARSON CITY - Gov. Kenny Guinn joined U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao in announcing a major hospitality industry grant for Hispanic workers in Las Vegas on Tuesday, March 16.
Secretary Chao awarded a federal grant to the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE) for their Hi-Demand program. HERE is partnering with its signatory hospitality industry employers and Nevada Partners, Inc., a community-based training provider. Together, they will help prepare Hispanic workers with the skills required for opportunities in the growing hospitality industry in Las Vegas, as well as in Atlantic City, N.J.
"This is an important initiative for Southern Nevada��s largest industry and for the fastest growing segment of our population," Gov. Guinn said. "Training is a critical component of any economic development strategy. We appreciate the Department of Labor's support of this project."
The Hi-Demand project has several important objectives:
*** Increase the availability of qualified, skilled workers for entry-level and higher-skilled hospitality industry positions from the growing labor pool of immigrants, new citizens and workers with limited English proficiency.
*** Eliminate language skill barriers for limited English proficient new entrants to the workforce and eliminate career ladder barriers for limited English proficient incumbent workers in the hospitality industry.
*** Enhance the workforce development system's ability to prepare limited English proficient workers to enter the workforce.
*** Provide meaningful access to federally funded assistance for people with limited English proficiency.
*** Support the development of new training partnerships to satisfy demand in other major hospitality industry markets.
The Department of Labor, in response to President George W. Bush's Presidential Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans, has supported collaboration between employers, community colleges and the public workforce system to help Hispanic Americans build the skills required in growing industries such as the hospitality sector. The Department of Labor has encouraged the development of language and occupational skills and is working to keep Hispanic youth on an educational path that leads to rewarding careers.*12

The wisdom of our happiness and success
By PAI of WBTI*1
We were told that they remember that the following words by Dr. Sun Yet Sien, the founder of the first country of republic in Asia, when they were chidren: There are three kind of people --- (1)The people who know earlier; (2)The people who know latter; and (3)The people who do not like to know at all. As for the knowledge of truth, the most important thing in this world is for any of the above people to recgnize and realize it through her or his daily life:
-----------------------------
A positive thinking: With love we'll be like in the heaven
By Cheryl Moss, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang
As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to her or his selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.
Therefore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or yours in the Hell.
According to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the
many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.
After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"
Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!"
"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).
"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expert are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*2
People asked another professor whether his speech was wonderful or not. He felt that sometime it was wonderful but sometime not. It all depended on luck. "Only if I've wonderful audience, my speech would be definitely wonderful!" he said.
"It's my good experience, like Senator John Ensign's, to be introduced by Dr. Tony Lei to deliver a speech to our Nevadan seniors in the election year of 2000. I'm glad to have a friend like Tony who can merge the modern scientific methodology of management philosophy with the humane spirit and charitable love to the value and belief of the religion. Intelectuals like Nancy Becker, I, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Lisa Brown, Cheryl Moss, Cedric Kerns, Besty Kolkoski, Ann Zimmerman, Natalie Tyrrell, among others in joing with this idea all won in the last election with highest votes within the juridical area. To add to the list including Dr. William Thompson, Dina Titus, and Mark Denton, they are all excellent faculty members of the Public Administraton Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said District Court Judge Valorie Vega on the event and dinner party held by Asian American Community on April 19, 2002 at the Harbor Palace Seafood Chinese Restaurant in Las Vegas.*3
On May 17, 2002, a dinner party was held by Asian American Community for a special tribute to Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge Michelle Leavitt and Justice of Peace Jennifer Togliatti. It was at the Harbor Palace Chinese Restaurant in China Town, Las Vegas. Kenote Speakers were Michelle and Jennifer. Guest of Honor was District Court (family) Judge Cythia Dianne Steel. Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada (CAAAN) and President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), and Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO were Chairmen of the Event and Dinner Party. Hosts were: David Amebury, Steve Kwon, Tonnie Sison, Mike and Rita Vaswani, among others.
Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti are both of them District Jdges of Nevada now.
To pay a special tribute to the high ranking officials with Event and Dinner Party by united the Asian American communities in Nevada has been one of the community service by Washington Business and Technology Institute since its establishment on January 8, 1996. We enjoy the happiness and peace through the mutual cooperation and understanding among the people and government. Our participation and contribution to the community service continuously for many years with wisdom and effort has won the recognition by the mainstream of Nevada.
"In this generation and society, we need economic growth, but we need also growth in rich ideals, in justice and compassion, in service above self, and in action of love and moral courage. There are two princeples at the heart of the positive thinking road map: (1) the first principle is the truth in thinking. (2) The second principle is the 12 positive thinking traits," said Dr. Tony Lei.
"The following are 12 traits that charaterize a positive thinker: Optimism. Enthusiam, Belief, Intelligence, Courage, Integrity, Confidence, Judgement, Persistence, Liveliness, Vision, and Desire to excel. Each trait, when leveraged properly, produces powerful results to achieve our goals. These traits, when diligently and wisely applied together with the truh in thinking, allow us to ovecome obtacles and challenges in a positive manner in our lives for accomplishment."
"Develop a clear vision of our prefered future, then get forcused on key activities and efforts that take us in that direction. We shall see performance gains, achieve our goals, and have a happier and more successful life. By persuing our own personal strategic plans with love and service, we will increase our energies, motivations, satisfactions, happiness, and the worthy value of live," Dr. Tony Lei pointed out.

Believe and Praise Our Lord and We Shall Succeed
By Tiffany Chang
"You have heard that it was said, 'eye for eye, and mouth for mouth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If....." Mathew 5:38-39 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Mathew 6:14
Life is short, and love by God is eternity. As in our Christian belief and value world, we have enjoyed peace and happiness in surrendering all the peak glory to our beloved teacher and God, Jesus. To hate an enemy hurts one's health, let along to bring problems. Man can not fulfil his attemp by lying the facts. People may not see what you did the evil thing, but to God He knows it obviously. On the other hand, when we forgive our enemy even in secrecy, God knows it also. Reward is from our God to the people who believe Him and follow Him to love our friends and to forgive our enemies. "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37
I believe God. I love God. And I trust God. Praise God that I have advanced knowledge and talents on my endeavor through the good education of American MBA and doctorate degrees. It is not a funny thing to work for a peak accomplishment with both academic excellence and Christian value through humane endeavors in this World. I work hard. I build. I never attack other people. I like people. I especially like good people. I serve (our friends and community) above self.*4 "Therefore, everyone who hear these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25
"The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesers are angels." Matthew 13:37-39
To kill a mocking bird is not at all necessarilly. Why we need to attack someone who is so happy with our people by just having a 'cup of coffee' in serving others above self? We need more people to praise every good thing. We need also more people to praise every good leader. By this way we are really praising our God. It is because all these good things and peoples are created by God!
"'Master,' said John, 'we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.' 'Do not stop him,' Jesus said, 'for whoever is not against you is for you.' " Luke 9:49-50 If a man worked for community service and God by using your name, why you need to stop him immedeately? In God we trust! "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." Proverbs 26:4-5 In another case, if someone struke down your devil for you and for most of our people in your name, do you need to stop him? In God we trust!
"Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old." Matthew 13:52 I am humble. Everything is decided by God. I read Bible every day. I believe the Bible. I love my greatest teacher and truth--Jesus Christ. I am one of the persons who glorify and thank the Almighty. I believe that we trust God will be with those who honor Him. Without Him, I am nothing, let alone to forgive our enemies!
In our same community, love makes everything better. It is very easy to find how happy are those birds in my backyard. I believe that it is because they do not hate. How beautiful it is if we are all joyful as some individuals among lots of them! "Glory to God in the highest. Peace and good tidings to earth." * ( *Tell Me the Story of Jesus by Fanny Crosby and John Sweney from Soul Stirring Songs & Hymns. ) United we stand, devided we fall. Together we can GROW (Go Rich Our World). The columnist wish grace, mercy, peace through JESUS CHRIST our Lord. The bless of God will be with you all! *5
