Chapter eight expands the concepts in chapter one and introduces the value of discipline and the desire of wisdom. This is the second of Solomon’s three poems. In these verses, wisdom is again personified as a woman and makes her proclamation, heard from far and wide, and does not wait for the audience to come to her. She represents herself as two nouns: “Doth not wisdom cry? And understanding put forth her voice?” (8:1). Understanding is another word for wisdom. For knowledge and understanding go “hand in hand”. The next few verses set up the setting in which wisdom makes her speech: “She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man” (8:2-3). Waltke’s commentary elaborates on the position of her speech and explains that “she speaks on the highest points, to be visible and audible as possible”. Wisdom stands “by the way in the places of the path”, in which connotes where the masses walk on their way to choosing their lifestyle. This represents the point at where they must decide to follow either wisdom or foolishness. Her location at the gates implies that she is around a place where a lot of people gather on a daily basis, persuading them to stay away from the wicked. Wisdom stands at the opening of the gates and Waltke expands on the idea that “here decisions are made and people ‘enter into’ new situations and even embark on new journeys.” She proceeds to give insight and
Proverbs 8:10-11 to me is basically saying that knowledge is more powerful than money or wealth and nothing that you may want compares to that wisdom.
As one matures through life he gets wiser and more knowledgeable. As Siddhartha’s long life journey was coming to a close, he too was becoming wiser and more knowledgeable. Siddhartha learned that if you search your whole life for wisdom you will miss many steps along the way. Siddhartha’s revelation between the difference of wisdom and knowledge corresponds with his other discovery which is the difference between finding and seeking. This has been the guide for his way of life. These differences he has discovered are the main reasons for having several teachers and a radical lifestyle. Furthermore, this revelation has made a distinct separation between Siddhartha and Govinda. It highlights the major difference between Govinda and Buddhism
We see from this passage that Solomon is a loving devoted husband and father. He understands the relationship between a father and his children. Solomon appears through this writings to have been a good
Thus, the idea of Word in verses 1 through 3 of Gospel does in reframes the notion of Wisdom from Proverbs 8 in Verses 1 through 2 and 22 through 30.
The sixth bullet point of the discipline overview is “ﰺﰉ Understand and appreciate other races and cultures”. An ELL student and their family could have serious issues with this statement. I think it send the wrong message. If this is listed in the discipline overview does that mean the school is having issues with understanding and appreciation of other races and cultures? Also, what defines “other races and cultures”? This statement could be discouraging for an ELL student and their family. The school and families could have very different ideas of what is understanding and appreciating other races and cultures.
Hoffman, Hutchinson, and Reiss discuss their study and findings on whether or not Conscious Discipline can help ameliorate students’ difficult behaviors. Conscious Discipline, created by Becky Bail, is described as classroom management program that promotes teachers’ self control, encouragement towards students, allowing children to make choice, and much more. In the study, several teachers were elected and were asked to complete a survey dealing with classroom management. Some of these teachers were then provided workshops to help them learn about Conscious Discipline and overall enhance their classroom management methods. Most of the teachers who attended these workshops applied their new knowledge
The Epistles talk about wisdom in other ways too. In the letters to the Corinthians we lean much about wisdom and knowledge. They say the wisdom of God is a mystery. It being so great that man cannot understand the amount. It tells us to be wise in the knowledge of God's word because Satan will take advantage of our ignorance of his ways. If a foolish
In the Apology, the oracle at Delphi stated that Socrates was the wisest man of his time (Plato 21a). Socrates, however, “[was] very conscious that [he was] not wise at all”, which would not make him the wisest man of his time (21b). Certainly, not both the oracle and Socrates could be simultaneously correct in their individual beliefs; thus, the oracle and Socrates must have had differing definitions of wisdom. What, then, is wisdom? Many people believe wisdom denotes having extensive knowledge about various things. A person often gains this knowledge through time and experience, hence why elderly people are viewed as wise. We shall refer to this form of wisdom as wisdom through knowledge alone. So too, many
For the military leader, the maintenance of good order and discipline is essential for a military force to be effective. An undisciplined military force is a losing one (Hoversten). General Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest military leaders of all time and was firm when it came to discipline. It was important to him that his soldiers understood that, in addition to efficiency, discipline guaranteed a solder’s safety; that if his forces did not prepare themselves for war when they had a chance, they would pay dearly (McBride). Discipline can be best defined as “a state of training, resulting in orderly conduct.” (McBride). This “state of training” must be achieved as well as maintained during peacetime so
We know about success tools, and we familiarize ourselves with many useful resources that lead us to success, so why do we need self discipline?
Wisdom Tradition is a term applied to the Old Testament books of Proverbs, Job, Sirach, Wisdom of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes. Wisdom Tradition books all share characteristics and points of view that are somewhat different than other biblical books. Wisdom tradition has very prominent characteristics from other books in the Old Testament such as a search for the goal of life, how to master it and questioning the problems of life, showing interest to human experiences that affect all people, joy of creativity and creation, and very little interest in the great acts of divine salvation. These qualities appear in a few books in the Old Testament. All of them show wisdom, but only some show both wisdom and tradition. Books such as Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes values the beauty of creation and the confidence of human life and nature. This was a new concept to Israel. They learned about wisdom tradition through other nations. They were influenced from Mesopotamian literature and took their ideas of meditations of sufferings and God’s justice into their Old Testament Books. Suffering can be seen in Job, but in the next essay and upcoming classes, we will be relating this to women suffering. The wisdom perspectives did not replace the other two major strands of thought in Ancient Israel, that of prophets and priests. It was simply a different focus that was complementary with the other perspectives presented in the Bible.
I would use the money for the part-time employee and hire a well educated professional that deserves the money that they are worth and use the money for the salary which will be a little more and also use the extra money for the community and helping them for the programs that need it, to help them more.
Dees highlights several crucial concepts regarding resilient leadership in Chapters 3 and 4. The quality of leadership largely determines the overall upward or downward direction of a company. A resilient leader has the ability to influence people to willingly put forth effort to achieve a goal, which is at the core of being a leader. The most effective leaders recognize how to influence subordinates while moving forward with an effective plan that will benefit all involved. The three most important concepts from Chapter 3 and 4 are integrity, courage, and wisdom.

Classroom management and classroom discipline share a correlation with one another yet; they are uniquely different issues and should remain a separate focus of the teacher. (Cantor, 2006) Behavior and misbehavior also share a connection but represent different degrees of infraction. (Charles, 2008) This essay focuses on the differences and similarities of these topics and their relation to the classroom.
