Nothing hurts a firm more than to have in its employ men
holding important positions who are chronic knockers, who are always finding
fault with the business, with the management, and with the material they use.
Men of this type should be eliminated out of their jobs.
| Jude 1:16 |
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after
their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s
persons in admiration because of advantage. |
One man of that kind in a church will wreck it.
One man of that type in a crew of men in the lumber camp will cause the entire
organization to disintegrate. Chronic knockers will spoil an organization and
wreck its prospects.
| Proverbs 14:23 |
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the
lips tendeth only to penury. |
| Proverbs 24:1-2 |
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire
to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their
lips talk of mischief. |
| Ecclesiastes 10:12,13 |
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but
the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 13 The beginning of the
words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous
madness. |
Men who talk too much and talk unwisely are a detriment to
any organization. Never knock your firm. Never knock the goods you are
selling, because you are selling yourself in every deal. The man, who knocks the
firm for which he works, knocks himself because he is there. If he is not
satisfied with it, he should get out and go somewhere else where he can be
satisfied.
We have no right to stir up strife and bitterness while we are drawing a salary
from a firm. We have come to an unhappy place. We have been taught politically
to hate the people who have been successful in life, that if a man has gained a
position of affluence, he must be bad. That is wrong.
| James 3:10 |
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
Men like Henry Ford have climbed to the place they occupy by
sheer efficiency and downright honesty. Class hatred is an unfortunate thing. It
does not belong in a democracy. It does not belong in Church. It does not belong
anywhere.
Why should I hate the man who is smarter than I am, and who has achieved more
than I have? I should honor him and thank God that there are men of that kind.
Class hatred robs a nation of its efficiency; it robs men of the pleasure and
joy of fellowshipping and working with each other.
Very closely I have experienced that this class hatred caused a good manager to
loose his job, and within the year the company had to close its doors..!
There should be a notice put up in every factory and store and shop saying,
"No knockers are needed. We need boosters. We need helpers. We need men who
encourage, not men who discourage."
Make up your mind that whatever you say will be constructive.
Just knocking for the sake of knocking is ignorance gone on a rampage.
| Ecclesiastes 10:12 |
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but
the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. |
