The Information Age

In this age, information is everywhere… the Internet, the newscasts, even bumper stickers. Warfare is information oriented. Psychological warfare between nations, cultures, political parties, and provincial groups. Discernment is of utmost importance. Indoctrination is everywhere. Do not base your life upon the whims and biases of life’s karmic winds… karmic whims… vogue perspectives. Discernment comes from deep within.

7 Tips for Handling Hostility Wisely

Handling Hostility - Michael MamasEntrepreneur.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:

“It’s amazing how poorly people can behave, especially when it comes to money. Passions run high and manifest through their speech. You would think when something is so important that people would behave wisely, but the opposite tends to be true. Money stirs issues of being not important, which stirs emotions, which stirs vicious speech. When working in the business world, you would do well to learn how to wisely and effectively respond to mean behavior…”

Faith Is Fulfilled When Transformed Through Knowledge

Faith & Knowledge - Michael MamasI just published a new article on Medium.com. It begins:

In a recent lecture I gave, a man came up to the microphone and said, “My kids don’t really believe in God and that really upsets me. I just tell them to have faith.”

I responded by saying, “No, no, no. People are no longer willing to just have faith, and they no longer need to. We live in a time of such scientific advancement in so many fields of knowledge that all the different pieces of the life’s puzzle can come together into a unified whole. Ultimately, what Albert Einstein said is true: “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” That’s what is really meant by “blind faith.” Science and religion coexist without conflict. One supports the other. And that can bring tremendous fulfillment”…

What an Elusive Diagram Can Teach Us About Finding Solutions

Two Boxes or Three? - Michael MamasI just published a new article on LinkedIn. It begins:

“In ninth grade algebra, the first page of my textbook had a diagram I never forgot. At the time, I didn’t understand why it struck me so deeply. But somehow I knew it was important. Looking at the diagram one way, it appeared to be a picture of two boxes stacked in a corner. Viewed another way, it appeared to be three boxes.

The Delicate But Necessary Task of Opening Pandora’s Box

Pandora's Box - Michael MamasEntrepreneur.com just published one my latest articles. It begins:

As head of an organization, this happens all the time. Somebody comes up to me really upset and says so-and-so said such-and-such. I respond by saying, “That’s terrible. How could they say such a thing! What did you tell them? What did you say?” The response is always the same: “Oh, I didn’t say anything.”

“You didn’t say anything?” I exclaim. “How could you just let that pass? Why didn’t you say something?” Again the response is standard: “Oh, I just didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to say it. And besides, I was afraid they’d get mad. I didn’t want to rock the boat. Who knows where it could have led?”
