In Jer 1:5, God says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.” This is rather surprising. God knew Jeremiah before he was born. It follows that God knows all of us even before we are born.
gives purpose to life, and brings out the best in people life.
Proverbs 29:18 - Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Isaiah 55:8 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
The notion of social change is complex it covers a broad range of social structures: Technological, economic, political, agricultural, industrial etc. In the field of “technology” for instance “the change occurs from simple and traditional techniques towards application of scientific knowledge” In agriculture the transformation in seen through the shift operating through “evolution from subsistence farming toward commercial production of agricultural goods” The industrial aspect is the “transition from the use of human and animal power toward industrialization proper or “men aggregated at power driven machines working for monetary returns with product manufacturing process,In the ecological field change is the movement from farm and village toward urban centers.’social change depend on what we take society to be, and we take society to be what our purpose and position dictate.

Are You Living By Sight Without Vision?
If you are operating by sight, you see the problems and challenges all around you.
You see how many bills you have to pay; you see that your company is downsizing; you see things that threaten your security.
Sight without vision is dangerous because it has no hope.
Many people have been living by sight alone, and that's one reason they have all kinds of medical problems- muscle tension, migraines, high blood pressure, heart disease, ulcers, tumors, and so on.
Living by sight can kill you.
Life is so full of depressing things that you need to learn to live by vision and see with the eyes of faith.
Remember that sight is the ability to see things as they are, and vision is the ability to see things as they could be. I like to go a step further and define vision this way:
Vision is the ability to see things as they should be. Maybe you are going through a hard time right now and you're disheartened.
You've lost your vision edge.
Perhaps this is because of your surroundings. Sometimes, the environments we live in are not the best for fostering vision. What people say to us is not always encouraging and can be very discouraging.
I have been tempted to be disillusioned and discouraged many times.
Even though we know that the discouraging things we see and hear are temporary, they still can distress and depress us. We must keep our visions constantly before us, however, because the visions in our hearts are greater than our environments.
God gave us vision so we would not have to live by what we see.
The Bible is very clear that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews
11:6). If you try to function in any other way than faith, you will malfunction. That is why worry is ungodly and fear makes your vision short-circuit.
You were never meant to be afraid.
Jesus was filled with faith, and He was the calmest person on earth. He slept soundly in the middle of a storm. When His frightened disciples woke Him up, He asked them, "Do you still have no faith?" (Mark 4:40). He was telling them, "If you have faith you will be able to sleep during a storm, as well." You may be saying, "This doesn't sound very practical."
It is, however.
I have been living this way-by faith instead of fear-for over twenty years, and it's been so much fun. I don't worry for very long about anything, because I believe that, ultimately, everything is on my side.
Even the schemes of the devil work to my benefit.
All things work for my good because I am called according to God's purpose. (See Romans 8:28).
Helping our Orphenage an Kingston jamaica.Spanish Town,Portmore,St James.
Kingston is the capital and largest city of Jamaica and is located on the southeastern coast of the island country. It faces a natural harbour protected by the Palisadoes, a long sand spit which connects Port Royal and the Norman Manley International Airport to the rest of the island. In the Americas, Kingston is the largest predominantly English-speaking city south of the United States.
Religion
There are a wide variety of Christian churches in the city. Most are Protestant, a legacy of British colonization of the island. The chief denominations are Church of God, Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist, and Pentecostal. Afro-Christian syncretic religions such as Rastafarianism are also widespread.
There is a Jewish synagogue in the city as well as a large number of Buddhists and Muslims. There are several Islamic organizations and mosques in Jamaica, including the Islamic Council of Jamaica and the Islamic Education and Dawah Center, both located in Kingston and offering classes in Islamic studies and daily prayers in congregation

All of our children have so much potential. All of our children deserve a chance at life.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.A house must be built on solid foundations if it is to last. The same principle applies to man, otherwise he too will sink back into the soft ground and becomes swallowed up by the world of illusion.Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.
Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy. The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord. What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.The successful pilots succeeded because they did not open fire until they were close to the target.Give the children an opportunity to make garden. Let them grow what they will. It matters less that they grow good plants than that they try for themselves.
Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.There are two essential epochs in any enterprise - to begin, and to get done.
I believe without exception that theory follows practice. Whenever there is a conflict between theory and practice, theory is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, we make theories for what people have done. What that book does for me is give me the tools in the same way that I had the tools when I learned the regular scales or the alphabet. If you give me the tools, the syntax, and the grammar, it still doesn't tell me how to write Ulysses. When I thought about the calibre of people in the room I realized we might just have a credible candidate for Mayor who will would finally enforce the laws of the city. It was almost too good to be true.
It was always said that the big distinction between the French and the English is that the English are intelligent and the French are intellectual. To get rich never risk your health. For it is the truth that health is the wealth of wealth. A dark and terrible side of this sense of community of interests is the fear of a horrible common destiny which in these days of atomic weapons darkens men's minds all around the globe.Industrialization based on machinery, already referred to as a characteristic of our age, is but one aspect of the revolution that is being wrought by technology.Probably people always feel that they are living in a time of transition, but we can hardly be mistaken perhaps in thinking that this is an era of particularly momentous change, rapid and proceeding at an ever quickening rate.Technology gives us the facilities that lessen the barriers of time and distance - the telegraph and cable, the telephone, radio, and the rest. Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness. Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit. When are we going to say cancer is cured? I'm not sure when that will happen, if that will happen because cancer is a very slippery disease and it involves a vast number of cells in the body and those cells are continually mutating. When we talk about stem cells, we are actually talking about a complicated series of things, including adult stem cells which are largely cells devoted to replacing individual tissues like blood elements or liver or even the brain. I learned at an early age that I was given something special when I was born, and that was the gift of love.The fact that the internet is so active; people can now speak to me indirectly. Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.
When we are flat on our backs there is no way to look but up.The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.
Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence, or learning.
The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder. They always win who side with God.
Leadership is particularly necessary to ensure ready acceptance of the unfamiliar and that which is contrary to tradition.
So long as large armies go to battle, so long will the air arm remain their spearhead.
The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.Bertelsmann understood our vision when they first invested in us... They still believe in that vision.
No taxation without respiration.So just as I want pilots on the planes that I fly, when it comes to monetary policy, I want to think that there is someone with sound judgement at the controls. Democracy no longer works for the poor if politicians treat them as a separate race. You do not have to be superhuman to do what you believe in. Everybody is talking today about the economy.I don't believe, in the 21st century, in the balance of power system. This is a European idea of the 19th and 20th centuries,Solutions must be based on compromises. You never know what you're going to get as a receiver.
Be sure you positively identify your target before you pull the trigger.In whatever position you find yourself determine first your objective. My center is giving way, my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack. The will to conquer is the first condition of victory.It looks like business, and people are much pleased.
William.A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.
History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.
I am Dr:Sammy, not Dr: Myles. I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am. A hero is someone right who doesn't change.Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.I don't know if we ever fully get over the pain of watching a child trying to find their way through a world that too often doesn't understand.

The country needs the political work of women today as much as it has ever needed woman in any other work at any other time. America does not fight for land, glory or riches.
I am responsible only to God and history. Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected. Education in the past has been too much inspiration and too little information.I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read. Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim. Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate.
Addison Mizner.Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it. God gives us relatives; thank God, we can choose our friends. The biggest impact I can have for what I want to do, the results I want to have with what God's given me, is to help as many people as possible get to heaven. Everybody is ambitious. The question is whether he is ambitious to be or ambitious to do. If we look to the history of other nations, ancient or modern, we find no example of a growth so rapid, so gigantic, of a people so prosperous and happy. God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you. Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

Value of Writing a Personal Mission Statement.
1. It forces you to think deeply about your life, clarify the purpose of your life, and identify what is really important to you.
2. It forces you to clarify and express succinctly your deepest values and aspirations.
3. It imprints your values and purposes firmly in your mind so they become a part of you rather than something you only think about occasionally.
4. Integrating your personal mission statement into your weekly planning gives you a way to keep your vision constantly before you.
Process of Creating a Personal Mission Statement
1. Identify an influential person in your life. Define the qualities you most admire in that person. List those and then ponder the qualities you would need to practice in order to achieve the future you desire.
2. Define who you want to become; not just what you want to have and do.
3. Define your life roles. You may have roles in relation to your profession, family, community, or other areas in your life. Describe how you would like to be described in each of these roles.
4. Write a draft of your personal mission statement. Carry the rough draft with you and make notes, additions, and deletions.
5. Write a final draft. Refer to it frequently. Use it as a standard by which you judge all your activities.
6. Periodically review and evaluate your personal mission statement to keep yourself in touch with your own development and keep yourself in harmony with your deepest self.
7. The final test of the value and effectiveness of a mission statement is: DOES THIS STATEMENT INSPIRE ME?
Developing a personal mission statement.
A personal mission statement answers questions like these:
-What do I want from my life?
-What do I value?
-What are my talents?
-At the end of my life, what do I want to have accomplished?
A personal mission statement is the beginning of personal leadership. It sets guidelines for life. By referring to it and internalizing its meaning, we make choices that serve values and reject the things that oppose them.
A mission statement often includes a set of personal beliefs.
A mission statement often answers another important question: What do I believe in?
Writing a personal mission statement is as much an act of discovery as an act of creation.
A mission statement is not exactly a piece of creative writing. We write what we sense to be true about ourselves, although often it seems we are writing what we would like to be true.
Writing what is true about ourselves isn't as easy as it may seem. We sometimes don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. We perhaps believe things because we are expected to believe them. We feel inclined to pursue a certain path because it is socially approved. We may fear other people's criticism if we do what we feel is right for us.
So writing a mission statement is really an adventure in self-discovery. We are working to uncover our talents, our interests, and our deepest desires for life. Writing a mission statement can be a tool for clarifying things that we otherwise might not know. Most people, at some point in their lives, long for a sense of meaning and purpose. They sense that they have talents and contributions to offer but are not sure what their talents are. The mission statement is a way of discovering that sense of purpose by coming to know ourselves better.
We clarify our personal mission by dividing it into roles
A mission statement gives us general guidance. We can make it more specific by applying it to specific roles. A role is a function that we serve in life.
Some of the roles we may have are family member, student, worker, or community member. The idea is to find some sense or order about life by dividing it up into meaningful patterns of related activities.
Roles are key to creating balance in life.
Perhaps the most useful aspect of roles is that they can help us maintain balance in our lives. For example, if, as we plan our day, we consider each role and ask what ought to be done within it, we will be more balanced in our effectiveness than if we simply attend to the most pressing problems. In fact, the way we define our roles can help us maintain the balance that is so critical to effectiveness in life.
Goals define what we want to achieve within each role.
Roles are more specific than our mission, but they still aren't specific enough to let us make clear plans. We need to take another step, this time breaking our roles into goals. We do this by asking, "What do I want to accomplish within this role?" In answer we create goals, specific results we want to accomplish at specific times.
These goals become the basis for our weekly and daily planning. Goals are the building blocks of our mission and our roles. From these goals we can create specific action plans that will help us succeed in our roles and fulfill our mission.
Goals can be lifelong, intermediate, or short term.
Goals have a deadline. They are broken down into steps, with each step having its own deadline. When all of the separate deadlines are reached, the overall goal has been achieved.
Some goals are lifetime goals-, meaning that we intend to achieve them before we die. To achieve them, we break them into smaller steps, perhaps ten year goals or five year goals. These intermediate goals are then divided into smaller steps, until we have subdivided the lifetime goals into immediate goals that we can work on today.
The best goals are consistent with our personal mission.
Goals serve us by organizing our actions and by giving them meaning. When we sense that our actions bring meaningful results, we have greater incentive to perform those actions. Our mission provides the purpose for our goals and actions, and goals that are backed by a sense of mission tend to be both more satisfying and more motivating.
Au-thor-i-ty: power to influence or command thought, opinion or behavior.
Authority is an interesting and important word, as it applies to an individual's ongoing quest to be a more effective leader. Those of us who aspire to more effective levels of personal and professional leadership need a clear understanding of what the word means practically, as well as literally. Consider Webster's formal definition above, and then consider the two workplace applications which can be fraught with either unexpected problems or untapped potential.
Formal authority: the organizational power that comes with the position that one hones or occupies; being able to ask (or tell) someone to do something and then expecting that it will be done. No matter what job or title we may hold in an organization, all of us have some formal measure of power or authority associated with that position. As is the case with most things, the level of power entrusted to us can either be used or abused, depending on our chosen actions or motivations.
During the course of an average day, every one of us makes dozens of different decisions. Besides the obvious business decisions required of our positions, we also make personal decisions regarding how we will act, speak, think, listen, respond, etc. If we become too enamored with the "power of our positions," it can become very easy to disregard, or overlook entirely, critical input that we might otherwise receive from followers, peers and superiors. Typical "managers" are notorious for this. Their attitude says, "I told them what I wanted them to do. Now it's their responsibility to do it - without asking questions." Informal authority: the personal influential power that comes as a result of others voluntarily granting their support. On occasion, all of us have encountered individuals who did not have the luxury of the power of a position to fall back on. They may have been assigned to labor in low profile, seemingly insignificant positions. Yet, in some amazing way, they were able to successfully lead others to consistently above average levels of performance. These individuals seemed capable of leading despite their positions and circumstance. How did they do it? How were they able to entice others to voluntarily support them and their actions even though the organizational hierarchy may have been stacked against them? Simply put, they do so by committing themselves to helping their followers/supports get the things the followers/supporters can secure for themselves. People voluntarily choose to follower another individual because they ultimately believe this particular individual, their chosen leader, can take them someplace that they would have never been able to reach on their own.
So how can we create such a bond with our followers? Excellent leaders know the answer to that question. They work to know each of their followers as individuals. They ask their opinions. They listen to them. They allow their followers to disagree - even publicly, if necessary. But they always work to ensure that followers benefit in the end. They use their authority and their common sense.
