Managing Oneself

Author(s): Peter Ferdinand Drucker

Series: Harvard Business Review Classics

Publisher: Harvard Business Press, Year: 2007



Description:
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers' careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses. Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are. Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution. Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career.

💠A Small Promise

Hojjatol Islam wal Muslimeen Jawad Ajayee (husband of the Beheshti family's daughter) narrates:

"In the year 1956, we were with Hajj Agha Beheshti in Mashad.. at a family event with our family. Shahid Bahonar entered my home in Mashad, and asked if Shahid Beheshti was home. I said yes. When Shahid Bahonar saw Shahid Beheshti, he said 'some friends asked if you were in Mashad, so I came to take you to our gathering'.

Hajj Agha Beheshti replied, 'is 8 pm tomorrow night good?' I said: 'what are you doing now (which makes you unavailable)? He said, 'I have promised my wife and kids to take them to the park'. When he heard this, Shahid Bahonar became angry and in result his face turned red. He then said, 'we have gathered to sit with you, and you decide to take your family to the park?' Aghaye Beheshti said, 'it is as I said'. Shahid Bahonar then said, 'let Aghaye Ajayee (me) take the family instead'. Aghaye Beheshti replied, 'I have promised that I take them to the park'.

The next day at the gathering, Shahid Bahonar and Ayatollah Mahdawi Kani told Aghaye Beheshti that 'the brothers had gathered to meet you when they were released from prison, and you took your family to the park?' Aghaye Beheshti stated: 'friends, isn't it true that we want to initiate a revolution? (Hence) in this revolution we are promising to people (a proper system of governance). If we are unable to fulfill the (small) promises that we give to our wives and kids, how will we then fulfill (large and weighty) promises of this revolution? I believe that this is a special principle of the revolution, that if we promise even our toddlers, we must not neglect its conditions and or ignore it. However, when we do promise we must think if it is doable or not'".

❇️What does it mean to say God is found in the Heart?

"How should the orients of the lights of Almighty God be contained in the heart? Yet when you seek His Light, you find it there. But this does not mean His Light is truly contained within it.

Rather, you find it in the heart, just as you find your own picture in a mirror, though your picture is not truly contained by it. But when you look in the mirror you see yourself".

📚"Sufi Path of Love" by William Chittick p. 38

TIPS FOR RAISING GREAT CHILDREN

🌱 1. Praise your child, even if they get less grades in an exam. And never insult them in person and in public.

🌱 2. Every time you speak with your children, speak with respect, say “thank you”, etc. Use ‘please' a lot and never swear.

🌱 3. Your child is just a child, don’t take away their playing time by treating them like adults. If you do this, they will suffer. From age one to seven child is like “King” or "Queen".

🌱 4. Assist your children in making decisions. Guide them by talking to them. If they want to go for something, then help them plan. Remember from age seven to fourteen you should teach them manners and good behavior.

🌱 5. After age of fifteen, ask your child for his opinion. For example, if you are going to buy a car, ask them what color he’d like the car to be. This develops the habit of consultancy in them.

🌱 6. Dedicate one or some book shelves in the house to your child. Make a place where they sit and read in peace. This will make them more confident of themselves, and live scholarly.

🌱 7. Take your child to mosque in (jama’āh) prayers. Your child will remember what he sees you doing forever. Start encouraging them to perform prayers from the age of seven.

🌱 8. Encourage your child to ask questions whenever, and try to answer their question too. Take them to the “Scholars” for their religious queries. Otherwise, they will get the answer from the wrong source, which ruins their belief and faith in God and infallibles.

🌱 9. Always fulfil your promises to your children. Do not make wrong promises which you cannot fulfill. Otherwise this makes them develop a habit of making false promises. If you fail to fulfill any promise, explain nicely.

🌱 10. Make doa (supplication) for your children. Even if they have gone astray, pray for them. Doa of a father is always helpful to the children.

🌱 11. Tell them they might fail once or few times, but never lose hope and try your best. Then leave the result on God. This is the meaning of “Tawakkul”. Teach them how they should react to a failure.

🌱 12. Apologize to your child if you have made a mistake, this teaches your child to behave good and repent to Allah. Don’t raise ifs and buts when you are wrong.

🌱 13. Praise their good deeds. Give them gift and explain to them that this gift is for the good deeds that you did. Always give gifts to daughters first then boys.

🌱 14. Read Qur’ān daily and make sure you offer your children to read a portion of Quran’s translation daily and according to their capacity. Even if it's just a few verses.

🌱 15. Tell your child repeatedly that you love them, tell them how gorgeous they are and how important they are to you, hug them as its a tradition of prophet Mohammad (peace be with him and his progeny) to kiss your children. When you kiss them God will increase a grade of your level.

🌱 16. Behave with children equally and don’t prefer one over another. However, when giving gifts, girls should be prioritized.

*This is what Amir al-mu'minin said on the occasion of the burial of Sayyidatu'n-nisā' (Supreme lady) Fatimah (peace be with her) while addressing the Prophet at his grave.*

🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶

O' Prophet of God, please accept my salams and those of your daughter who is being buried not far from you, and who is to meet you so quickly. O last chosen Apostle! The death of your daughter has left me without patience and solace. I have lost my self-restraint and power of endurance.

After having endured the separation from you I shall have to bear this catastrophe patiently. O Prophet of God! I laid you down in the grave with my own hands, your soul departed from my body while you were resting upon my chest and your head was lying between my neck and heart.

Verily we are for Allah's and verily unto Him shall we return (Qur'an 2:156)

Your trust (your daughter) which was entrusted to me is taken back from me. Sorrow now abides with me and happiness has taken leave. This grief is so overbearing that it engulfs and swallows other sorrows, and it has left me with sleepless nights and joyless days. From now onwards, my life will be a continued heartache until God gathers me with you both in the realm of His favour and peace.

O Apostle of God! Your dear daughter will tell you how your followers have behaved with her and how they have mistreated her. Please ask her the details of all that has happened to her during such a short period (barely three months) after your departure to Heaven. This period of separation from you was so short that people were still remembering you and talking about you.

Please, both of you accept my parting salams and goodbye. It is the wish of a sincere heart, which has loved and will always love you both, a heart which will cherish and will carry your tender and loving memeories to its grave. Goodbye O daughter of the chosen Apostle of God! May you rest in peace (in the world) which mankind has refused you in this world. If I leave your grave to go it is not because I am tired of your company, rather I wish I had it till the end of my life. If I make a permanent abode on your grave, it will not be because I doubt the reward that God has reserved for those who bear sorrows patiently, Goodbye, may God's peace and blessings be with you both.

🍃🔆🍃 "O people! A month has approached you laden with blessing, mercy and forgiveness; it is a month which Almighty Allah regards as the best of all months.

🍃🔆🍃 Its days, in the sight of Almighty Allah, are the best of days, its nights are the best of nights, its hours are the best of hours.

🍃🔆🍃 It is a month in which you are invited to be the guests of Almighty Allah and you are regarded during it as worthy of enjoying Almighty Allah's generosity.

🍃🔆🍃 Your breathing in it is regarded as praising Almighty Allah and your sleep as adoration, and your voluntary acts of worship are accepted, and your pleas are answered.

🔹🍃🔹 Therefore, ask Almighty Allah your Lord, in sincere intentions and pure hearts to enable you to fast during it and to recite His Book, for only a wretch is the one who is deprived of Almighty Allah's forgiveness during this great month.

🔹🍃🔹 And let your hunger and thirst during it remind you of the hunger and thirst of the day of resurrection.

🔹🍃🔹 Give alms to the poor and indigent ones among you; surround your elderly with respect, and be kind to your youngsters.

Spiritual connection of Shias with Ali:

"Rameelah was a Shia of Ali. He says:

'While in Kufa, I suffered from fever and shivering for some days. I was unable to attend prayer behind Amirul Momineen.

It was Friday. I found some relief and experienced that my fever had reduced. I thought how nice if I take Friday bath and go to the mosque to pray behind Ali. So I came to the Mosque of Kufa.

Ali began to give the sermon from the pulpit. My fever returned and I began to tremble again, but I controlled myself. After the completion of the sermon and concluding the prayer, Ali sent someone for me.

I went to him, and He asked
me, 'Rameelah! What had happened to you when I was on the pulpit? You looked very restless and uncomfortable!'

I replied, 'I am suffering from fever for quite some time. I felt somewhat better today and hence I came to the mosque to attend your sermon when again I was disturbed by fever and shivering'.

The summary of Imam Ali's reply is this, 'This fever and shivering of yours has also entered me'.

I asked, 'Is it so with those who are in the Mosque or it is so with those outside too?'

Amirul Momineen said, 'Throughout the world, be it in east or west whenever one of our Shias becomes restless,
we too experience that restlessness'".

📚"Moral Values of Quran" by Ayatollah Dastaghaib, pg. 314.

Hojjatol Islam Fateminiya: “I request you to not be quick in responding”.

“I am your brother whose beard has turned white, and I highly ask you to never be quick in answering, responding. Many are very hasty when it comes to responding. I tell the youth it’ll never be late to respond later (first think, process the situation, then answer), so hold yourself a bit.

Did you get the point? Sometimes, quick responses deprive one (from reaching higher levels of tawfiq and erfan). Practice patience and respond a little later.

Sometimes, we attack an individual’s enthusiasm. They come and say with zeal: ‘this cloth that I bought has no likes of it in the world’!

Let the person talk, have his joy, and feel comfortable. Instead, we quickly respond: ‘heck no! These fabrics are everywhere (cheap quality)’!

(The point is here) attacking the enthusiasm of someone, not letting one express their passion are all against the values of Shiism”.

Shahīd Ibrahīm Hādi

💠 “In the first days of the war, I told to Ibrahim, ‘Brother Hadi, your salary is ready. Come and get it whenever you think the time is right.’ In response he asked in a low voice, ‘When do you go to
Tehran?!’

I said, ‘On the weekend.’
Then he said, ‘I will write down three addresses. When you go to Tehran give my wage to those three families!’ And I did this.

Later I found out that all three families were poor but respectable families.”
