Ecclesiastes 10:1-20
If a ruler’s anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest.
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler: Fools are put in many high positions, while the rich occupy the low ones.
If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.
Woe to the land whose king was a servant and whose princes feast in the morning. Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.
A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything.
Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
A collection of proverbs on wisdom and folly, wise sayings, and practical advice, follows from 10:1-11:8
Why?
To be a good manager in a company or nation, remember there is a rule to the staff obey the regulation.
We need tools to work, it may save our strength, but skill will bring success.
Every word we are talking will be known to others, keep our mouth, and love others.
Feast, wine, and money have their purpose, but money is great!

人應該看重智慧,這個世界我們如何面對
1.面對愚昧者:智慧很有能力,也很脆弱,善的成果容易被破壞。
2.愚昧者掌權:不要輕易離職,繼續我們當做的事情,不要批判,以免我們也落到審判裏。浪費人力資源的情形,所有人變成奴才。
3.愚昧者掌權危機:做什麼事都會有危機,日常生活中也有危險,即做白工。智慧人會先想好,計劃好,愚昧者只會事後批評。這些智慧都在生活當中。
4.智慧人說話都有恩典:對人有益處。愚昧的人連說話都有危機。只會說不會做。
5.不是不可宴樂、賺錢,而是不該一早就在宴樂!勤快,有目的,還是懶惰、奢華。我們很可能就是那個愚昧者,我們的價值觀是什麼?和社會一樣嗎?兵力,錢財、權力、享樂?
保持平靜的心聽智慧人的言語,不要去批評,柔和謙卑,做好本份持守本位。
How?
Don't be proud or don't be a fool for everything has its rule. Be a wise man.
