Being Superficial at Work

"Superficiality in a special way is an enemy of intimacy. When one thinks carefully about why certain people who are competent, well-educated, energetic, and well supported with good tools fail, it is often the red thread of superficiality that does them in. They never get seriously and accountably involved in their work."

--Max DePree

If one is not involved in his or her work, how can they be productive? How can uninvolved people accomplish anything? And where seriousness and accountability are lacking how can progress be sustained? Is superficiality the underlining reason why we fail?

Being Eternal

"He has also set eternity in the hearts of men"

--Ecclesiastes 3:11

Fear not. The end is not the end.

Failures are new beginnings.
