Trustworthiness

I appologise from everyone but I had to delete my post. Apparently, I have to thank James! You are totally right about what you have written and after I posted my message I thought it is not actually that bad since we are working on unity in diversity.

However, I invite everyone to read the following quote and put into practise in their lives for better future. It is one of the vital virtue of human beings, which we usually forget how to use. Just try! :)

Ps: By the way the dog picture represents the trustworthy behaviour...


"The fourth Taraz concerneth trustworthiness. Verily it is the door of security for all that dwell on earth and a token of glory on the part of the All-Merciful. He who partaketh thereof hath indeed partaken of the treasures of wealth and prosperity. Trustworthiness is the greatest portal leading unto the tranquillity and security of the people. In truth the stability of every affair hath depended and doth depend upon it. All the domains of power, of grandeur and of wealth are illumined by its light."

IS COMMERCE HEAVEN?

Woow it has been a while I haven't written anything. Just to letting the ones know whoever follows my blog and interested in reading, I am studying @ University of Tasmania in Bachelor of Tourism with Business major. Well as you can imagine nowadays I have a lot of assignments to hand, so a bit busy schedule is bothering me which I am happy with indeed.

Yesterday, one of my friend from Turkey send me some quotations from Abdulbaha and Shoghi Effendi. The first one was really interesting and I bet no one would ever think in that way. Most of us on this earth are dealing with some kind of jobs or we study to get some jobs in the future, wishfully the best ones ;) My subject is related with business and trying to give my best for my study. I have been thinking to be a manager in one of the tourism sector ( well, I wish so;). You can say , "Oh everyone wants that!" Yeah I know , that is the thing, I want it cause I want to be different. I want to make some difference at least in the company where ever I will be in the future. I thought I would be good at listening, try to help out everyone and try to understand everyone's feelings. I have to admit, it is not an easy thing to do at all but no! Hang on! The quotation I received yesterday says if I do so then "Commerce is HEAVEN". WHAT!!!! Now on I will work harder to put that in action and try to make that as in the quotation. It is not utopic at all, some of you may think this is just a dream but if we think that the unity in this world is dream then we just pre-judge , cause we never know. Who would think that the countries who fought in World War 2 with eachother would come together and establish European Union and work as shoulder by shoulder. If you would say this to them at that time, they would probably think you are crazy. Ok, now I accept that I am crazy, but World Peace will definitely happen as the commerce can be heaven. LOL!! Ok the quotation you have been wondering is as follow, enjoy reading and do not hesitate to leave your comment on comment section :) PEACE EVERYONE!!!!!

"Commerce is as a heaven, whose sun is trustworthiness and whose moon is truthfulness. The most precious of all things in the estimation of Him Who is the Sovereign Truth is trustworthiness:thus hath it been recorded in the sacred Scroll of God. Entreat ye the one true God to enable all mankind to attain to this most noble and lofty station."
