Do not ridicule virtuous people

Let's study part six of Tai shang gan ying pian. One of the evil-doers.
Nos 22: They ridicule and scorn reason and virtue.
My view:
There are some virtuous people in the world. These people are commendable because they never follow slanted mindset blindly.
Probably they are lucky that their parents, teachers guided them properly in the past. These people are the treasures because they can instill right values to the next generation. So, we should not ridicule them, We should encourage these virtuous people.

Do not vilify the wise one

Let's study the part six of Tai shang gan ying pian-The description of evil-doers.
Nos 21- one of the evil doers is as follow:
" They vilify and disparage the holy and the Wise. "
My view: In this world, there are many upright people who have the undaunted mindset or courage to do all good deeds. They show very good examples by helping those needy, those go astray, those who are depressed and etc.
But some evil or slanted mindset one always try to do evil means to vilify these upright people. Actually we must appreciate those kind one, upright one because they have injected the positive elements into this world.
They are diluting the evil forces in the world.

Do not implicate others

Let's study Tai shang gan ying oian part six-Description of evil-doers.

Nos 20: " In their own guilt they implicate others. They impede and obstruct the professions and crafts. "
My view:
First of all, we all must have healthy mindset. For those people who are selfish and want to gain benefits but using improper or immoral or evil ways and then put the blames to others. These type of people are very bad.
Remember that their evil mindset will lead them doing series of bad deeds not just one bad things. These type of people can not live the truly happy life.

Misfortune fell on him

Last month I wrote the blog post about Mr. Havoc who whistled to the lady and transferred to other working place.
http://coolingstar9.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-manners-and-your-view.html
Yesterday his ex-supervisor Mr. Act told me that he passed away few days ago. The conversation were as follow:
Mr. Act:" The ex-cleaner Mr. Havoc met with accident and passed away."
Coolingstar9:" Very sad news, he died so young 40 over years old."
Mr. Act:'" He drank a bottle of alcohol and then rode his bicycle home, on the way home, his bicycle was collided with the car.'
Coolingsta9:" Life was unpredictable, wish him rest in peace."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why misfortune fell to him, I believe he might doing many bad deeds not just whistling girls.
If he behaved properly in every area, he wouldn't have encountered such misfortune.

Keep on learning

Recently I saw the special report about the good teacher Mr. Quek on the local TV. I found the story was ready interesting and like to share it here.
Mr. Quek has been teaching in the ITE-Institute of technical education for many years. In Singapore, students can study courses in ITE if they are unable to cope in the main stream schools, this is ready good so that they can learn some technical skill. But If their results in ITE are good, they can further study in Polytechnic and university. Mr. Quek goes extra miles to teach those weak students after school. He always phone their parents to monitor their progress, no wonder students call him " dad ". Many ex-students always greeting cards for him. I salute Mr. Quek for being the outstanding teacher.
The other inspiring story touched me also.
An over-age student Lee Xuan Man who was almost unable to complete her secondary school finally becomes "the national model of Singapore Chinese Teachers" with her undaunted spirit and and strong will to learn. She is now 48 years old, was one the graduates of Hwa Ren Secondary School. 23 years ago, when Lee was 25 years old, she joined the class of Form 3 with the recommendation of her sister-in-law Liao, was the principal of the school, despite the fact that she was ten years older than her classmates.
Although Lee only had primary school qualification, with her iron will to learn, Lee successfully completed her high school education and pursued her studies at the National Taiwan Normal University for a Bachelor degree. She graduated from the university at the age of 34 and then contributed her teaching services for two years at Hwa Ren Secondary School. Since 1999, she has pursued a teaching career at Singapore Millennia Institute for the past 11 years.
With her outstanding teaching skills and innovative teaching method, she has become the "National Model of Singapore Chinese Teachers" which led to local media coverage.
Lee's father passed away when she was young. After completing her primary school education, she stepped into the society to work for the following 12 years, during which she worked as a waitress, petrol station attendant, domestic help, factory and so on. she later returned to school to finish her secondary education at the age of 25.
She said during the interview that after completing her primary school education in Port Dickson, she went to Melaka, KL and Singapore to make a living and thought she would not be able to complete her studies ever.
However, her sister-in-law knew of her desire to continue pursuing her studies and had successfully convinced Hwa Ren School to give her a chance to be an overage student in Form 3.
During the first year, her tuition fees and expenses were sponsored by her sister-in-law and she later received a scholarship from the school for three years.
"After my enrolment, I only failed my first maths test once, obtaining only 20 marks. Later my results had improved and I managed to complete my high school education without having to stay back."
Lee has now settled down in Singapore and continues to pursue her postgraduate studies while being engaged in counselling courses. She also doubles up as a counsellor for prison inmates as well as their Chinese teacher.
When studying in Taiwan for her Bachelor Degree in Chinese, she managed to complete her four course with a part-time job. In the morning, she distributed newspapers in the hostel while in the afternoon, she worked at a restaurant and at night, as a telephone operator.
Wow, learing is never ending.

High qualification but poor character

The scholar Mr. Wong expelled from the university because he had been found guilty of owning child pornography videos. His gross misconduct led him losing the scholarship as well. He suppose to be the teacher after graduation.
He had also been sentenced to six months' imprisonment by the UK court. He has also been disqualified from working with children.
This 23years old is not suitable for teaching kids because he never show good examples.
Nowadays, people with high qualification not necessarily they are people of good character unlike ancient time.
What is your view?

Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian

let's study part six of Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian.
Nos 3,
With brutality they do harm and damage.
Insidiously they injure the good and the law-abiding.
Stealthily they despise their superiors and parents.
Nos 4,
They disregard their seniors and rebel against those whom they serve.
Nos 5,
They deceive the uninformed.
They slander their fellow-students.
My view:
Some bad people always like to do cruel things to others or things out of greed, hatred and craziness. They always like to hurt others out of jealousy. They never show respect to their own parents, superiors. Their mindset totally do not have any elements of goodness. This type of people not only bring misfortunes to themselves but also cause a lot of troubles to the society and their own country and the whole world.
My dear friends, I hope you are not this type of people. If yes, then you have to quickly delete this type of corrupted mindset, do not wait any longer.

To prevent misfortunes, we must know the Description of Evil-Doers and do our best not to do that.
Let's us study the part six, the description of evil-doers. Remember try your best not to do all these to prevent misfortunes come to you.
Part six,
Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian said:
Nos 1:" There are some people whose behavior is unrighteous."
Nos 2:" Their deportment is irrational. In evil they delight."
My view:
In this world, some people always have the evil mindset, they always like to do immoral things that we can read all their nonsenses in daily newspapers.
These people think that they have high capabilities after doing all the evil things. I see so many people had eaten their own fruits. These people indeed were the most pitiful people, they had never realize that every action has the reaction. Because of that, they do what they like but finally they are the own have to face the music and have the great suffering.
The great reminder is to adopt the mindset of righteousness.
Do you have anything to say about nos 1 and 2?

Do not treat the kid as king or queen

Yesterday while I was about to enter into the train station, I heard the conversation as follow:
The small kid about 7years old talked to the mother loudly :" Mom, carry for me the water bottle. "
Mother:" How can I carry for you, you should be independent. If you don't want to carry the water bottle, then no water for you to drink. "
The mother was very persistent and never spoilt the child. This was ready the live example indeed. This mother knew the ways to cultivate the kid. So, if parents spoil the kids, then they will surely getting some " awards " in future.
Let's see an other example that the other mom who always spoil her kid, what award she had received.
The real story was happened in China. There was the parents who always spoil their kids , they bought anythings that the kid had demanded. One day, the mother prepared the cup of hot water for the kid in the morning. The kid simply carried the cup and drank. The kid was so angry and uttered the words : How come you give me the hot water, you want to kill me, isn't?.
Immediately the kid poured the hot water towards his mother.
Who's faults? I think parents needed to be blamed for that. So, please do not treat your kids like kings or queens.
See you, have the nice day.

Further, there are the three body-spirits

Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian

Let's us study the part 2 of Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian---The great reminder.
" apparent that heaven and earth are possessed of crime-recording spirits.
According to the lightness or gravity of his transgressions,the sinner's term of life is reduced.
Not only is his term of life reduced, but poverty also strikes him.
Often he meets with calamity and misery.
His neighbors hate him.
Punishments and curses pursue him.
Good luck shuns him.
Evil stars threaten him;
and when his term of life
comes to an end, he perishes.
------------------End of part two------------------------------------------------

That means whatever we do good or bad, we can not escape from the reward or bad luck.
Our term of life can be reduced if we do many sins.
Misfortunes always fall on bad people.
This is the great reminder. So please do many good deeds to prevent bad luck coming. Everyday I read newspapers , it seems that bad people are arrested and charged in courts to face the music.

Situation study one

On 13-12-2010 at about 1020hrs, Mr. Push, one of the operation executives of security agency firm- Superman agency guard services, called Mr. Cool that the auditor was proceeding to the site for security audit in half an hour. Mr. Cool is the assistant security supervisor working in the commercial building. This commercial building is using Superman agency guards to guard the building.
Mr. Push told Mr. Cool to get preparation on that audit check. Mr. Cool did not know about audit check because he had never encountered before. On that day happened that security supervisor was on leave, the in charge on that day was Mr.Cool.
Let's see one interesting thing happened on that day.
Everyday there are many visitors come to the commercial building. There are some consultants always come to the buliding for some specific project either for short term or long term basis.
A consultant firm B company has about 10 consultants. Every times when they want to go to their office to work, they need to go to the security counter. Security need to issue consultant pass to them.At about 1050hrs, the auditor Mr. Cunn came to visit the building. The auditor asked Mr. Cool how you verify the consultant. Mr. Cool said:" we will check their identification paper before we issue consultant pass to them."
Take note: As the matter of fact, most of the time security just ask the consultants:" what is your pass nos and then issue the pass to them. Because security officers are too familiar with them, security officers never counter check their identification papers.
One that day, a lady consultant approached Mr. Cool for the consultant pass. Because of the auditor near the security counter, so Mr. Cool asked the consultant:" Could you show me your identification paper? The consultant Miss Alice said:" How come you ask for my ID, all the while security officers never ask me.'
Miss Alice gave her ID unwillingly and continued saying:" I am using my colleague's pass for a long time.
Mr. Cool felt surprisingly and wondering. Mr. Cool saw the ID and issued the pass to her.
Miss Alice talks were overheard by the auditor Mr. Cunn.
After Miss Alice was issued the pass and went to the office. The auditor asked Mr. Cool :" How come you are doing such a thing, she is using other colleague's consultant pass, you just simply issue to her. And She said that all the while your never check their Identification paper?.
Mr. Cool was in a daze and did not know why Miss Alice saying this. The auditor told Mr. Cool please do not do this thing again.
After the auditor left the building, Mr. Cool told his security colleague:" Fxxxing hxx, this lady consultant just stupid, she should know there might be some reasons that I wanted to check her ID. She should talk properly when someone beside me. I know we never check on them because we know they are regular but I have to check her because the auditor is here.
His colleague told Mr. Cool :" Next time you need to talk to them if we wanted to check their ID, they should co-operate and just give their ID because auditors might be checking any moment.
Mr. Cool was in angry state.
In the evening, when Miss Alice was returning the consultant pass. Mr. Cool talked to Miss Alice:" How come just now you mention that you are using your colleague pass. You make people confusing, do you know that the person who besides me was the auditor just now."
Miss Alice:" I did not know he was the auditor and I was telling the fact that I was surprised that you were checking my ID Because you never check before."
Mr. Cool:" Alice, We have the right to check your ID."
Miss Alice said:" That means you are going to check on me other day?
Mr. Cool:" I am telling you if security officers ask for your ID, you just give to them, no need to talk more, why just now you were mentioning you are using other people's pass, you are confusing our auditor. your pass nos and your name are in this form, you are the one who is allowed to use the pass. why you were saying that you are using other people's pass. the auditors thought that we simply never check at all"
Miss Alice:" sorry for the inconveniences, do you want me to explain to your auditor?"
Mr. Cool:" No need."

For additional information:
In flat , Miss Alice has her own pass for example pass 1112. She mentioned that her pass 1112 previously was belong to her workmate. Mr. B. For few months the pass nos is designated to Miss Alice.
But her saying ( when the auditor there near security counter )made auditor confusing that security anyhow issue the pass. In flat, security was issuing the right pass 1112. Pass no 1112 and her name Alice is in the consultant pass form.
In short, Miss Alice saying ready confused the auditor and security Mr. Cool. that's why Mr. Cool lost his coolness.
My friends, do you think Mr. Cool (A) right or Miss Alice right?
What is your view?
In my next post, I will tell you the next development, let's wait and see.
Did Security supervisor blame Mr. Cool?
How Mr. explained to his supervisor?
How the auditor going to feedback what he had observed to the superman security agency firm's manager?

Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian

Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian was the ancient book that taught human beings to have luck in their life. Let's study this treatise bit by bit. This book called:" Treatise of the exalted one on response and retribution.
Part one: Introduction-the universal truth.
THE Exalted One says:
Curses and blessings do not come through gates, but man himself invites their arrival.
The reward of good and evil is like the shadow accompanying a body.....
My view:
Everyday we read the newspapers, we can see so many people were convicted in court. They were committing serious crime like murdering, stealing, sex-related crimes,etc. They were probably sent to prison or fined or hanged depend on the seriousness of the crimes.
Their misfortunes or luck were made themselves indeed. Yes, they were suffering from their own bad deeds.
So, we all must know we are the one decide our own destinies.
