Manage your time...Focus, Focus, Focus.

Time as a personal resource

… Effective executives know that time is the limiting factor.

The output limits of any process are set by the scarcest resource.

In the process we call “accomplishment,” this is time.



Time is also a unique resource.

Of the other major resources, money is actually quite plentiful.

We long ago should have learned that it is the demand for capital, rather than the supply thereof, which sets the limit to economic growth and activity.

People—the third limiting resource—one can hire, though one can rarely hire enough good people.

But one cannot rent, hire, buy, or otherwise obtain more time.

The supply of time is totally inelastic.

No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up.

There is no price for it and no marginal utility curve for it.

Moreover, time is totally perishable and cannot be stored.

Yesterday's time is gone forever and will never come back.

Time is, therefore, always in exceedingly short supply.

Time is totally irreplaceable.

Within limits we can substitute one resource for another, copper for aluminum, for instance.

We can substitute capital for human labor.

We can use more knowledge or more brawn.

But there is no substitute for time.

Everything requires time.

It is the one truly universal condition.

All work takes place in time and uses up time.

Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, and necessary resource.

Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.


— The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker

These ideas about WHAT we spend our time doing have major strategic implications for individuals, organizations, and society.


Drucker said: Focus, Focus, Focus.

A Rich Man Remebered - 2009

A rich run remembered; John Updike was an ingenious novelist, an impressive poet, a brilliant reviewer, a talented sports writer, a persuasive art critic and much more
by Robert Fulford

(The National Post, 28 January 2009)


Right at the start of his working life as a novelist, John Updike let it be known that he was an original - and he remained an original, seldom less than surprising and often quite astonishing, through a long and distinguished career that ended yesterday when he died at the age of 75.

He was a promising 27-year-old staff writer at The New Yorker when he turned out The Poorhouse Fair, which was nobody's idea of a typical first novel.

It was a touching and penetrating account of conflict within, of all places, a home for the aged. He pitted his hero, a retired schoolteacher, against the officious tyranny of an administrator who wants only to warehouse the residents, keep them quiet and ignore their feelings.

Updike's view was clear: American society was prepared to do everything for the old except let them be themselves.

He received excellent reviews and soon found he could sustain himself and his family by writing.

By writing what? Every damn thing you could imagine, as it turned out. Over a half-century-long career of sustained and ingenious effort, Updike proved himself the most versatile writer of the 20th century. In the early years critics and competitors tried to pigeonhole him, but his imagination danced off in too many directions. 

By middle age, he couldn't be contained within anyone's categories. Norman Mailer, surveying fellow writers in a 1959 book, classified Updike as a lightweight chronicler of the suburbs; but decades later he recanted and admitted that he envied Updike's vast ­accomplishment.
Updike had the natural fiction writer's unfailing sympathy for his characters. 

He could see their faults clearly, identify their hypocrisies when required. But he was always with them in their failures as well as their triumphs. 

This affection for the people marching through his pages was exuberantly demonstrated in the great epic of Updike's career, the four-book series about Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom (followed by a fifth story, Rabbit Remembered, that appeared 10 years later).
Rabbit, once a high-school basketball star in Pennsylvania, then a trapped young husband, later a successful businessman (co-owner of a Toyota dealership) is Updike's American Everyman, living through half a century in the life of America. 

Each of the four major books defines an era while never losing sight of its main character's struggles to find himself in a frantic, demanding, constantly changing universe.

Rabbit, Run reflects the almost mandatory optimism of the 1950s, Rabbit Redux takes him through the furies of the 1960s, Rabbit is Rich captures the prosperity of the 1970s and in Rabbit at Rest, published in 1990, we find Rabbit approaching death in Florida. He's the solid foundation on which Updike's future reputation will rest.

Aside from his long shelf of wise and ingenious fiction, and his several books of impressive poetry, Updike wrote brilliant book reviews and persuasive art criticism. He was a talented sports writer too. When Ted Williams retired from the Boston Red Sox in 1960, Updike wrote a shrewd account of baseball greatness from a fan's viewpoint, his much-anthologized "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu."

He wrote the most curious autobiography, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, (1989) in which he confessed, among other things, that he had always sympathized with Lyndon Johnson on the Vietnam war, quietly opposing the massed forces of American culture - and that, stranger still, though he suffered from asthma all his life, he often had his children's cat in bed with him, resulting in frequent trips to the emergency ward for injections of adrenalin. "Get rid of the animals," his doctor would say. Updike would sigh, mumble something about the kids and take more pills.

He never ceased to exhibit an astonishing nerve. In an era when American fiction was dominated by Jews, Updike apparently decided there was no reason why Jews should have all the good Jewish characters. He invented a fictional author, Henry Bech, whose personality contained all the glories and terrors of outsider status as embodied in Jewish writing. Updike wrote three short-story collections, Bech: A Book, Bech is Back, and Bech at Bay, each a shrewd imitation of Jewish sensibility.

Updike's Gertrude and Claudius (2000) was nothing less than a rewrite of Hamlet in which he made Gertrude and Claudius look good, Hamlet a bit of a villain - and Hamlet's father a tyrant. 

Two years later, at age 70, he wrote an audacious novel, Seek My Face, an Updikean account of mid-century New York art, told by a 78-year-old painter who was once married to someone much like Jackson Pollock and later to a Pop artist combining the talents of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Claes Oldenburg. Of the Pollock character, who drank himself to death, his ex-wife says "He hated himself for becoming a celebrity ... For being made to see, I suppose, that becoming a celebrity was what he wanted all along."
In those days, she says, everyone wanted to put their "self" on the canvas - that was all anybody talked about. Abstraction, she explains, was so glamorous because it was "all self." Updike has a minor character explain that -

each painting was a wrestle with God, the self and beauty.

That's Updike himself talking. 

He was a God-haunted author, who introduced the deity in some of the least expected places. When he was writing book reviews regularly, it sometimes seemed that every second piece dealt with his changing views of theology, which somehow always involved Kierkegaard. 

He was a famously busy writer, absorbed in the intense busyness of his soul. 

All of Updike's writing leaves us with the powerful feeling that something serious is at stake.

Lewis Masonic

Small Business:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About Us

Lewis Masonic is a long established firm, founded in 1886, specializing in the publication of Masonic texts. Then called A Lewis, the focus of the company was exclusively on ritual books from Masonic Craft degrees through to the Masonic side orders.

In 1973, A Lewis became part of Ian Allan Publishing and the name was changed from 'A Lewis' to 'Lewis Masonic'. Nowadays, ritual books are still kept a priority at Lewis Masonic but the company's focus has expanded to cover all areas of Masonic publishing.

What is a Lewis

Lewis Masonic was named after the
 Masonic Symbol of a Lewis. 

A Lewis is 'a three-pronged iron cramp that is inserted in a prepared cavity in stone by which it may be lowered and lifted with precision'. 

The name comes from the Latin word Leuis, meaning to levitate or lift.

In speculative Freemasonry a Lewis can be found in every lodge on the Senior Warden's pedestal, attached to a Perfect Ashlar - a finished stone - that in turn is suspended from a tripod or derrick. 

In Freemasonry a Lewis represents strength. 

The grip of the Lewis that lifts the stone is likened to the grip given to raise the candidate in the third degree. 

Lewis represents one's own ability to improve oneself and rise above one's vices and faults. 

A Lewis has also come to be the term used to describes the son of a Freemason. 

The reason for this is quite simple as is explained in the explanation of the first degree tracing board. 

A son of a Mason's duty is to support his parents in the same way a Lewis supports and lifts a rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Aim of Lewis Masonic

Lewis Masonic, as its name suggests, was founded with the aim of supporting Freemasons and Freemasonry, its aim being like the Lewis to give every Freemason the tools to better himself and to help him to make his daily advancement in Masonic knowledge.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - Learning curve on stress control

Eight-week group courses in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) which are being  offered all over the world.
Learning mindfulness has helped thousands of people all over the world to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, irritability, chronic pain, and to improve their overall health, well-being and functioning.
This mindfulness course was developed more than 30 years ago by Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre, has been widely researched and is being taught all over the world.

Mindfulness is about learning to be present without judgment to each new moment as it is happening: pleasurable moments, not-so-pleasurable moments and even downright painful ones.

When we consciously hold our attention in the present moment without judgment, we not only discover that there are a lot more enjoyable moments in life, but also that we are able to face difficult times with a wiser and more courageous heart, and respond consciously rather than react blindly to people or life events that upset us.
Mindfulness is a natural ability that we all have which can be cultivated through systematic practice.
 The courses consist of weekly group sessions of 2.5 hours (short lectures, exercises, group discussions and meditation practice), a one-day retreat, and daily practice at home with the help of CDs and a course book.

Dragon and Cranes: By Maruyama Okyo 1733-1795

By Maruyama Okyo 1733-1795

Harry S. Truman

"I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have - When he gives everything that is in him to do the job he has before him. That is all you can ask of him and that is what I have tried to do."

DRINKING ALONE BY MOONLIGHT by Arthur Waley.

DRINKING ALONE BY MOONLIGHT

[Three Poems]

 

 

I

A cup of wine, under the flowering trees; 

I drink alone, for no friend is near.  

Raising my cup I beckon the bright moon,  

For he, with my shadow, will make three men.  

The moon, alas, is no drinker of wine;  

Listless, my shadow creeps about at my side.  

Yet with the moon as friend and the shadow as slave 

I must make merry before the Spring is spent.  

To the songs I sing the moon flickers her beams;  

In the dance I weave my shadow tangles and breaks.  

While we were sober, three shared the fun; 

Now we are drunk, each goes his way. 

May we long share our odd, inanimate feast,  

And meet at last on the Cloudy River of the sky.[1]

 

II

In the third month the town of Hsien-yang 

Is thick-spread with a carpet of fallen flowers.

Who in Spring can bear to grieve alone?  

Who, sober, look on sights like these?  

Riches and Poverty, long or short life,  

By the Maker of Things are portioned and disposed;  

But a cup of wine levels life and death  

And a thousand things obstinately hard to prove.  

When I am drunk, I lose Heaven and Earth. 

Motionless—I cleave to my lonely bed.  

At last I forget that I exist at all,  

And at that moment my joy is great indeed. 

III

If High Heaven had no love for wine,  

There would not be a Wine Star in the sky.  

If Earth herself had no love for wine,  

There would not be a city called Wine Springs.[2]  

Since Heaven and Earth both love wine,  

I can love wine, without shame before God.  

Clear wine was once called a Saint;[3] 

Thick wine was once called “a Sage.”[3]

Of Saint and Sage I have long quaffed deep,  

What need for me to study spirits and hsien?[4]  

At the third cup I penetrate the Great Way; 

A full gallon—Nature and I are one ...  

But the things I feel when wine possesses my soul 

I will never tell to those who are not drunk.

 

[1] The Milky Way.

[2] Ch‘iu-ch‘üan, in Kansuh.

[3] “History of Wei Dynasty” (Life of Hsü Mo): “A drunken visitor said, ‘Clear wine I account a Saint: thick wine only a Sage.’”

[4] The lore of Rishi, Immortals.
