Masonic Thoughts



DESIRE/MOTIVATION
abcdeg

Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him,
Now you have a motivated idiot.

If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea interrupt you..

Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value…



Masonic Bits and Pieces


Seeds of Communication: Ask and Listen


Before you state your case, gather the evidence, especially what motivates the other person.

Marriage is not total agreement. It is looking in the same direction together.

Listening without bias of distraction is the greatest value you can pay another person..
