Working Together

Working Together “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22: It is important for each of us to develop our ability to be able to work with others both in our families and in the business world. We cannot exist by ourselves, and it is essential that we be able to communicate with, and be able to work side by side with other individuals throughout our lives. Much of this ability is taught to us by our parents. If we have been given a good framework as to how we need to treat and respect our fellow man, it will be an easier task for all of us. The old saying “a family that plays together stays together” is probably one that we should never forget. If we learn to work together as a family on the family goals and objectives we will teach our children many lessons about working as a team. These lessons will help each of us relate better with our fellow employees later on in life during our careers, and with our friends and neighbors, and people we come into contact with each and every day. I believe that the way we treat our fellow man will have a great impact on the way God will favor us with his blessings throughout our lives. Our primary goal as parents should be to train our children in the way they should conduct their lives, and instill in them the moral values so that they will be prepared to manage and train their own children. If we provide a home that has a true faith in God, and demonstrate this to them by letting them see how we conduct our lives in a way that is pleasing to God, they will be well prepared to live their lives for God also. It is our responsibility as parents to provide this leadership to them, and we must do everything to give our children the best chance possible in order to survive in the world as it is today.
