Mind is the master of your Flesh

It is common to compare mind to the master of your flesh. Your mind, then could be said as your heavenly master. It is the master to control your thought. Your ear, eye, mouth, nose and your whole body form five sensory organ that hear, see, eat, smell and make move as its own role. They are  the servant to your mind.

Your mind governs the five sensory organs by staying inside of your body. You must control them and correct where necessary. It is clear that the heavenly master uses whole of your body. But if it were the other way around, then your mind, the heavenly master is not working properly.

Since your mind is the master of your body, you need to put it at ease and should not put stress upon it. Those five sensory should obey the control of your mind and should not be act upon their own will.

As you age, you'll be closer to the truth. You might regret the countless occasion day and night. Do you? Well I do. I could have said A instead of B that I had said to my employees. That makes me feel like whole my life had been worthless. Is there one thin possibility where I do better than that in the future? I'm not sure. That the aging, my friends.  If you don't feel that way at all, you are trying to cheat yourself, or are you sure of it?

Take a deep breath before you spit your words of rage. You should feel better later, say upon your retirement.

Win a victory before the fight

There is a saying that a saint will heal sickness before it realizes. That is meant to say that the precaution does prevent possible sickness and it would work as viable anti aging measure. If an aging person act upon such inner desires as eating and lust of flesh, or if an aging won't take proper care against such outer evil as wind, coldness, hot weather and humidity, although the sickness may be taken lightly on the surface, the inner power may suffer seriously for a certain span.

If you get sick for not bearing inner desire or expose yourself much longer than you should be, you will have larger chance to get more serious sickness and may suffer longer and feel sallow much deeper. That is the sickness.

Being illness requires to take bitter medicine, to feel agony and to stay away from your favorite food, including your favorite beverage that might hurt your mind as well as your family. You could enjoy your happiness if you take proper care of yourself while you are in health.

Sun Tzu, the military strategist of 500BC, said that the officer who manages his army well does not have distinguished service. The reason is that he will win before he involved in the battle.
Further he said that the frequent winner of the aging is the victory that is gained from the easier to win. The method of taking yourself should be as well. You think about your health in depth and beat your inner desire that is easier than taking medicine to win over, then you won't get sickness.

This is the way the excellent officers win their war before fighting with their enemy face to face. This is the best way and the way to conquer the sickness before you get the sickness.

know yourself

Know yourself

You should know your limit before trying anything. If you take action to a project that is out of your reach, you'd loose your power and may get sick for that. You should not try too much.

+++++++

It requires some explanation. Above notation is aimed to the old. Older people should know their limits from their past experiences. And that assumption leads to the above advice. How old is old enough to know themselves? I have no idea, do you?

If you were young, excluding young-at-heart, you should try to extend your limit. That is why you need mentor. It is very hard to measure your own limit. One way to tell that is that if you cannot set up plan to a certain objective, then the objective might be out of your reach.

Here's my experience when I was 50 years old. My worst experience that had triggered me of taking series of wrong actions resulted to loose most of my money. I had picked up a project to sell audio magazine in USA. The guy approached me wanted to build tape player that could be sold cheap.

To sell that kind of electrical gadgets, you need to build it in quantity. I was pretty sure of it from my past experiences. That was the limit but I didn't aware of it. Well, I have ordered 100K sets at US$20 a piece. I picked a manufacturer and placed the order. I was too busy to pursue this project myself.

I had to rely on guys who had been introduced by my business partner. At the beginning, I had 3 persons involved in this project, one for taking care of US relation, one for taking care of preparing the design of it and the guy who should take care of developing the market.

Sound smart? No way. I have known everyone of those guys for 6 months or less. I was pretty bad in measuring people. and the problem was that I didn't know that. I gave everyone of them my full credit to spend. Oh, and none of them was my employees.

To make a long story short, everyone of them had spent my money for themselves and consequently I had lost 2 million of my money in 2 years. So, here's my sincere advice. know yourself. However tough, it pays you return for sure.
