What puts you on top in life is not your university degree, it’s your revelation.
Being Solution Oriented
I love to be around people with ideas. It’s easy to find people who are experts at seeing the problem. It’s the rare and valuable person who always seems to have an idea for the solution.
When you examine the qualities of the people chosen most frequently for promotion and leadership, you discover that the vast majority are people who generate lots of new ideas —fresh ways of looking at a situation. Fear keeps most people from training their minds to think creatively and keeps them from putting forth a new idea when they happen to have one.
Being a solution-oriented person with lots of ideas will position you for promotion and increase on the job.

God’s Word is:
Supernatural in origin
Eternal in duration
Inexpressible in valor
Infinite in scope
Regenerative in power
Infallible in authority
Universal in application
Inspired in totality
We should:
Read it through
Write it down
Pray it in
Work it out
Pass it on

Happiness on the Job-Avoid Gossip
Have you heard the latest office gossip? Every office, corporation or workplace has it. A steady flow of juicy gossip filled with rumor, conjecture and wild speculation. But if you want to be happy on the job, you need avoid this kind of talk.
Participating in office gossip is tempting but very destructive. The Bible is filled with warnings to avoid it. James 4:11 says, “Speak not evil of one another.” And Proverbs 17:9 says, “He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends.”
Refuse to participate in gossip in the workplace and you’ll earn the respect and trust of everyone around you.
