Wednesday Topic

Keys to Diligence on the Job

 

Do you work energetically at your job?

Do others see you as diligent, reliable, and faithful?

Do you live out the life of Christ where you work and in you live?

 

Slothfulness isn’t always a matter of laziness. This landmine can be caused by a host of issues, including fear of failure.

This fear can be caused by discouragement, perfectionism, or negative previous experience.

 

How do you overcome sluggishness?

 

Check out Proverbs 6.6 and Galatians 6.7.  Bring in other versus that speak to this topic.

Dear all:

 

As we move into Chinese Rat year, we are ready for CI leadership transition as well.  Take this opportunity, I’d like to summarize a couple key aspects of CI and introduce you the 2008 CI leaders.

 

CI was formed in 1993 and has more than 400 registered members now, mainly in the Dallas site.  CI executive sponsor is Dave Heacock, TI senior VP and HVAL manager. 

 

In the previous several years, CI organized many culture awareness and career development activities in TI.  Most recently, CI has been focusing on strengthening CI organization to prepare future leaders, for CI and for TI, and providing values to CI members and TI.  With this direction, CI has started annual planning process, project management process, leadership transition process, and organized activities, such as “characteristics of Chinese customers” and “TI job function introduction series”, etc.  CI journey will be long life.  Even when people move on or retire, CI will continue as an organization.  There are absolutely more to be done in CI and absolutely more can be done in CI.  Volunteers are always welcome.

 

The CI leaders in 2008 are:

 

Chair                   Yuqing Xu         Foundry business manager, TMG

Executive co-chair      Claire Jung       MIS CQE manager, HVAL

Co-chair and Secretary  John Shi          System engineer, WTBU

 

I have known Yuqing all the time I have been with TI and she has volunteered in CI since Simon Chang was CI chair.  Claire led the TMG diversity fair event in 2007 and achieved the #1 creative award.  John led Forest Lane JDRF fund raising effort in 2006, in which year CI raised more than $20,000 USD for JDRF.  All of them are strong leaders.  The team will call CI officer meeting and announce their plan in the coming weeks.   Please support them in anyway you can. 

 

It's my pleasure serving in CI.  I enjoyed the activities, I learnt a lot from others and I have been supported and mentored by many others.  Thank you!  I will continue to serve in CI.

 

Best regards,

Jin Zhao

Wednesday - February 20th

Come join us this week as Russell Anderson shares images of his trip to Israel and Egypt. Should be fun and exciting.

Also, we will spend just a few minutes discussing Easter Potluck – announcements, communications, etc

Looking for ideas for coming weeks –

How about a prayer session for TI Tucson – specific requests for individuals, for the leadership, for the site? Discussions on how employees are being affected? Discussion on what’s really happening.

Another suggestion was a discuss on “Are Mormans Christians”?

How about the following:

Send your feedback and inputs.

From a friend of mine.

Enjoy,
Russell Anderson

Christian One Liners

Don't let your worries get the
best of you; remember, Moses
started out as a basket case.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Some people are kind, polite, and
sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Many folks want to serve God,
but only as advisors.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

It is easier to preach ten sermons
than it is to live one.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

The good Lord didn't create anything
without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

When you get to your wit's end,
you'll find God lives there.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

People are funny; they want the
front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation
bangs on your front door forever.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Quit griping about your church;
if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

If the church wants a better pastor,
it only needs to pray for the one it has.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God Himself does not propose to
judge a man until he is dead.
So why should you?

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Some minds are like concrete
thoroughly mixed up and
permanently set.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Peace starts with a smile.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

I don't know why some people
change churches; what difference
does it make which one you stay
home from?

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

A lot of church members who are singing
"Standing on the Promises"
are just sitting on the premises.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

We were called to be
witnesses, not lawyers or judges.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Be ye fishers of men. You catch
them - He'll clean them.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Coincidence is when God
chooses to remain anonymous.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Don't put a question mark
where God put a period.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Don't wait for 6 strong
men to take you to church.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God doesn't call the qualified,
He qualifies the called.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God grades on the cross, not the curve.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God promises a safe landing,
not a calm passage.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ *+*

He who angers you, controls you!

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Prayer:

Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

The task ahead of us is never as
great as the Power behind us.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

The Will of God never takes you to
where the Grace of God will not protect you.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

We don't change the message,
the message changes us.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

You can tell how big a person is
by what it takes to discourage him.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

The best mathematical equation
I have ever seen:
1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
